Post subject: Is it really necessary? |
  |
|
If you can read 100% of what a person posts on here, is it really necessary to point out their spelling and grammar problems?
I can understand the criticism if someone types out something like:
| Quote: | | I am write single to salute and wait for answer again. |
But if someone types "there" instead of "their" or "recieve" instead of "receive" ?? COME ON!

I can understand making a site to create a social gathering, but to ridicule and reprimand a member of your site for trying to teach proper english usage is, in my opinion, ridiculous.
However, both the bad grammar and the grammar correction officers will always exist. I see little point in bitching about it.

To make someone feel shitty about their grammar is terrible. Just because they have poor grammar and spelling over and over, doesn't mean you should be an ass, act like you are holier than thou, and correct the mistakes. Maybe its just the way they type. This is just a forum site with a chatroom, it isn't like we are writing the declaration of independence for Christ sake. I mean, You have to have a some insecurity issue to correct someones grammar, online, in an internet forum.
I find this hilarious: the problems people are having about grammar and other issues: I mentioned these in a forum, in a thread, in the beginning days of when I joined this site. The difference is now Everyone is catching on to my ideas. Like I said in the previous thread long ago, It is JUST A WEBSITE! Good Lord, people should not get mad at other people on this site, this site is for pleasure, not anger and distemperment. I guess I am a Maverick in my ideas once again but maybe this idea will catch on in about 200 more posts I make like the last ideas I had did.

I think mistakes are ok, as long as you can understand what is being said. Pobodys Nerfect. Some are worse then others. I don't think anyone should nit pick, but after you get done writing it, sit back and say" Can anyone else understand this?" That's all I have to say.

Don't you mean avatar instead of icon? See, I stay on topic!
Try Christ's sake.
The Y in You should not be capitalized as it is not the first word in the sentence but merely follows a comma | Earl wrote: | | The difference is now Everyone is catching on to my ideas. |
Same thing applies here.
| Earl wrote: | | I guess I am a Maverick in my ideas once again... |
Maverick does not need to be capitalized since it is not being used as a proper name nor does it begin a sentence.

If someone is pointing out an error of any kind and manages to make a spelling/grammatical error him/herself, then it becomes completely and totally necessary to make that person's day suck.
Your post is unnecessary. You make errors to.

"Trying to teach proper english usage" ?? It's more like the member(s) are ridiculing and reprimanding other members that haven't quite mastered the english language as well as they have.
| Quote: | | However, both the bad grammar and the grammar correction officers will always exist. I see little point in bitching about it. |
But that wouldn't be any fun, now would it?
BTW, this thread wasn't directed at any "members of my site" .. I've been having a problem with this crap for a long time, and not just on this site.
Besides, it's my job to spark conversation ... Since everyone likes talking about errors in spelling and grammar in all the other threads, I thought I'd just bring it all together in one.
