It's amazing, but sad....

I am you sorry grammar for my

[QUOTE="mowz00"]

How bad most user's grammar is on these forums.

I understand there is a decent "foreign" population", who currently live outside the US where English is not thier native language.

However, I find it hard to believe that they are the only people who butcher grammar on here.

Sure, I'm not perfect (and make mistakes) and I don't expect anyone to be, but damn some of the stuff I read on here is just horrible. It doesn't even make sense and it may take you 5 or 6 times to actually understand what the person is saying.

Also, I've been a member on a few different boards on different sites. And yes, people on there make their mistakes. I just never see it as bad as it is on here.

Could it be that most of the people on here go home and game it up instead of hitting the books? ;)

I'm not here to point the finger at anyone, but really...I can't be the only one who notices this.

Sorry if I come off like a dick, I'm just being honest.

[QUOTE="Zaeryn"]It's just spelling/grammar, and it doesn't need to be perfect to be understood. What are you, an English teacher :?Zaeryn

Um, no. It's actually a very important part of your everyday life.

Its not just about typing bad on forums.

If my parents talked like some people do on here, I'd be scared. (meaning "your" children in the future)

It isn't the majority of users on here. Most people on here have great, if not perfect grammar.

However its much more noticeable here than other boards.

Also, I notice it the most in OT as opposed to other smaller boards on GS.

I guess what worries me is that I work with a few people that talk in broken english and it makes them come off a bit uneducated.

This one guy can't talk right to save his life and he has a 12 year old kid. I wonder how his kid can even look up to him or ask him for help with his schoolwork. :?

I can't form a scentence or spell right. IT's sad:(

It annoys the hell out of me too. I love the English language (and being a resident of England) and find myself mentally correcting all the misspelled and badly formed messages, thread titles etc.

I know that English isn't the first language of everyone on GS but it is for the majority of users. If someone creates a thread where they can't even spell simple words and/or form a sentence then it just tells me your poorly educated.

Most people also don't seem to have noticed that GS has a very useful spellchecker!

Does other peoples grammar mistakes hurt you physically or mentally? no? well ssshh then

:lol: People are very touchy when it comes to opinion. Which is exactly what I said. My opinion! Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

I went to school just like everyone else here and I (obviously not like everyone else) like to see things spelt properly and written well. I'm not going to apologise for liking good language as it doesn't affect anyone else. I know this is just an internet forum but if people can't even type sentences properly it just points to a lack of intelligence on their part.

I don't mind as long as...

1. People use paragraphs (no walls of text please.)

2. At least use full stops.

3. Don't deliberately make something harder to read (by using dumb forum slang) if you are capable of better.

i use shorthand cause I type 30 words a minute, compared to the average of 50 wpm most users have.... sorry :(Premier1101

Sweet sig premier. I'm reading that book right now. It's freaking amazing.

yeah it may point to a lack of intelligence to a person like you, but the majority of people would not care, what's the point on typing to an essay standard when there is no one to mark it? lol. i could have most of it perfect but it would be a waste of time and effort. i don't like it when people spell incorrectly because i don't understand then, but if it's like what i have done here then it's no problem, you can still read it? yes you can, quit yurrr jibba jabba.
