Let\'s make a good grammar day!!!
« on: October 04, 2001, 06:06:33 AM »
I was just wondering if everyone could survive a whole day on this board using good grammar and spelling.

Anyone want to try?  

Some of these posts I have to read 2-10 times to try and figure out what in the world the author is trying to say.


Everyone always uses the excuse, "I type too fast and I don\'t want to correct them.  I know they are wrong though."

There is a difference between stupid spelling errors and having a post that makes no sense what-so-ever.

Just read what you wrote before you hit submit!

I PROPOSE THAT 10/4 be Good Grammer Day!!!!
Obviously the non-english people are cut some slack.

Damn I\'m sick of that. It makes this forum look like it\'s frequented by a bunch of 5 year olds.

My word, 70% of them have at least one post in them.

Is the person named "Just" or is it supposed to be in past tense, "heard"?

BTW Videoholic, I\'ve noticed that your spelling is often not of the highest quality.  I can\'t fault your grammar, but the spelling has been noticable.  I am frustrated by spelling and grammar errors everywhere in the world, but I don\'t say anything about them here because you never can tell how old the poster is.

I find it really funny that non-native english speakers like Samwise, Small Lady, Fastson, Hawke, and others can compose English text with perfect grammar, yet some of our adult educated Americans are too lazy to bother.

I would never say that I have the best grammar nor the best spelling.  I\'m not complaining on the regular miss-spellings.  Haven\'t you guys noticed that some posts by people are virtually un-readable?

These are the ones that annoy me.  Regular ole miss-spellings I couldn\'t care less about.

You said it yerself....LazyAmericans.... Me,myself..I could care less. There is a time and a place for everything..and a net forum is not the place I care to be proper. I save my professionalism for things that deserve it:D
