DISCLAIMER: I in no way endorse stupidity; I hate it. I do not blame people for getting upset when someone says 'is' instead of 'are', or when some asswipe can't manage to put together a coherent sentence; if you can't manage to friggin speak your own damn language, maybe you should keep your pie-whole shut?! Also, in a formal setting, you're shit better be on point; don't turn a proposal into your boss that is laden with typo's, that's just sloppy.

.....but.....

To all of you out there who seem to think you're better than others because you know when to use "then" or "than", "who" or "whom", or the proper location/usage of an apostrophe...piss off! Welcome to the internet; maybe you've never been on AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger, Skype, various forums, a Lolcatz website, chat rooms, Pidgeon, or whatever form of digital communication you bloody well please, but the rest of us have! It's called shorthand, and every generation has it's own form. Were you able to understand what the author was saying? Yes, i'm sure you did, unless you occupy your time talking to utter retards, which means either A) you work with the handicapped and i applaud you, or, B) you need a new fucking hobby. Why is it neccessary for you to correct my usage of the word 'affect'...."hurhur you mean 'effect' don't you?!? hurhur".

If you have time to worry about the way people spell/grammartize (oh, that's right, i just made up a word, does that burn your soul??) their publishings, you obviously are not focusing enough on the things that actually do matter, like: starving populations, wars, climate change, tanking economies, rising # of homeless families, child abuse, pet abuse, spousal abuse, political corruption, etc. etc. Attacking the nerds of the intarweb universe for forgetting a bloody comma does not make you a god damn moral crusader, it does not mean that you are smarter than them, and it certainly does nothing to increase the size of your e-penis. In fact, it makes you look like a slobbery twat who has nothing better to do, and since you wasted your time inspecting what you just read to make sure it falls in line with what Mr. Webster says, you probably missed the fucking point of the whole thing anyway.

Go ahead, comment away smarty-fucking-pants, see what good it does. As you yourself have probably pointed out at some point during your miserable existance that serves to do nothing but waste perfectly good oxygen, "hurhur no one knows how to write properly anymore hurhur". Which, yes, to some extent may be true, but did you ever stop and think (which right there, i already know the answer is 'no') that: A) when someone is posting on a forum, they probably do not consider themselves the next Billy fucking Shakespear and that they probably aren't proof reading it as if it was the Declaration of Independence, and, B) if they don't know grammar, your corrections are going to fly over the top of their pin-sized head anyway!??!

Take solace in the fact that you are among the few who yes, know how to speak/write in a 'proper' manner. Congrats, how far did that get you in life?? (unless you're a book editor, in which case you still didn't make it very far) Do the rest of us a favor who don't normally have the time/energy to waste on such a pointless endeavor tho, and SHOVE IT.

Love,
Bu

Just out of curiousity, what exactly are YOU doing about these important issues?

Anti-grammar nazis are far, far more annoying than grammar nazis. Jackass.

If you're going to rant about grammar Nazis, you better damn well use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation when doing so. As soon as I got to the tenth mistake, I said, "Well, this guy's an imbecile," and moved on. If you care enough about something to post it, you should care enough that your communication is clear and understandable by your audience; if you can't conform to the basic rules of grammar that have been established as the building blocks of the language we're using so that we all speak it in the same way, how can you reasonably expect dialogue to commense? How can you be sure your point was made? Why not take the extra minute to double-check your spelling and grammar and be sure that what you've written clearly articulates your thoughts or opinions? For example, before posting this reply, I did a quick read through, and realized that I had put the word "reasonably" in the wrong place, making the sentence unreadable. I fixed that error so that when people read it, they will understand the point I was trying to get across, regardless of whether or not they agree with it.

We just chose to pay attention in school and don't want the majority of the population to not be able to use grammar correctly.

Just start typing correctly and we won't have this issue.

To be fair, there are far more reason why I am better than you than I have time to list - the least of which being my adherence to proper grammar and spelling.

No, you spend your time bitching about other people bitching about someone else's spelling.

You know what, I've lost interest. Nevertheless, there is a simple point to be made here: If you aren't willing to put a modicum of effort into making your argument reasonably well written, you clearly don't care enough about it to have given it a significant amount of thought. In that case, your argument isn't worth our consideration.

Everyone overlooks minor grammatical errors, it's the consistent, flagrant unwillingness to make an effort that gets the "grammar Nazis" going.

Welcome to the real word, where how you present yourself matters.

Maybe it seemed petty in high school, but now you know it reflects poorly on you. People expect competence in the basics.

If you haven't mastered English, have you mastered anything? Come on.

Why does proper grammar get your panties in such a bunch? Most people who type with reckless disregard for grammar usually are just shooting from the hip -- they invest no time in thinking about what they say, either in terms of grammar or actual content. Why should I waste time reading shit that you just spew out of your mouth?

Look, nobody except real dicks care about the occasional typo or misplaced apostrophe. It happens. What does suck is when people write in huge walls of text and use such terrible sentence structure and spelling that understanding what they're trying to say is impossible.

Why not just try and improve your grammar? You might learn something.

This is quite true. Over the last eight years I've made a point of ALWAYS putting an effort into the quality of my writing (except when I'm deliberately being silly). As a result of my effort, my writing has definitely improved over the years.
