Not everyone of us was born and raised in an English speaking country.

If you can't understand that, just try to learn another language perfectly. Good luck.

Eh, good post, although I don't really care whether or not you have excellent grammar or not over the Internet. It helps, but it's not absolutely essential. Although a lack of it does get annoying.

If I may add:

Would've - "Would have," not "would of."

No biggie, but it is really noticeable for me.

I have a job where proper grammar and what not in your writing is necessary.  This aint it.  If you think the way a person posts devalues the message of the post, maybe you should look at correcting yourself first before you go criticizing others.  Video Game Forum.

I like flammable versus inflammable.  Regardless and irregardless comes close...

It's absolutely impossible for an educated reader to take seriously any post that is rife with grammatical errors. A little rudimentary help follows:


============================


Your and You're:

"Your" - Possessive. EX: "May I have some of your french fries?"

"You're" - Contraction of "you are". EX: "You're an idiot."


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit typing "your wrong."   The proper statement is "YOU'RE wrong."


==============


There, their, and they're

"There" - Usually a noun, pronoun, adverb or (most often) a preposition. EXs: "While I'm there I'm going to have an ice cream." "There is no hope." "What is over there on the couch?"

"Their" - Possessive of they. EX: "What is their problem?"

"They're" - Contraction of "they are". EX: "They're a bunch of lunatics."

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit saying "Their stupid," or "there a bunch of pussies" or "they're ideas are crazy." you people are driving me nuts with this shit.


===============


are and our   (this one shocks me)


"our" - possessive. EX: "Why do you care about our politics?"

"are" - a 'state of being' verb. EX: "You are an idiot if you substitute the word 'are' for the word 'our'."


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit saying things like "are country is the best!"


===============


wear, where, and were

"wear" - generally a verb as in "I'm going to wear that sweet french cuff shirt tonight." Occasionally a noun as in "There is some wear on the edges of your tire."

"where" - Preposition. EX: "Where the hell is Osama bin Laden?"

"were" - verb, past tense of 'are'. This word isn't even pronounced the same way the other two are. EX: "Were you taught anything in high school?"

PLEASE stop saying things like "wear do you live," or "were do you snipe on Karkand," or "what are you going to where tonight".


=================


The general use of the apostrophe:

PLURALS do not require apostrophes unless they are ALSO possessive. If you are discussing a gun, say the M95, and you want it to be plural, you DO NOT use an apostrophe.

Correct:    "I would like to see a group of guys with M95s."
Incorrect:  "I would like to see a group of guys with M95's."

Another example:

Correct:     "Those guys are jerkoffs."
Incorrect:   "Those guy's are jerkoffs."

Single possessives require an apostrophe BEFORE the "s".

Correct:      "That guy's jacket is cool."
Incorrect:    "That guys jacket is cool."
Incorrect:    "That guys' jacket is cool."

Plural possessives require an apostrophe AFTER the "s".

Correct:      "Those guys' jackets are cool."
Incorrect:    "Those guy's jackets are cool."
Incorrect:    "Those guys jackets are cool."

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit saying "those guys are dickhead's."

==================

it, it's, and its


"it": almost always a pronoun. EX: "It is clear that there is a problem with your grammar."

"it's": contraction of IT IS. EX: It's fucking embarrassing that our educational system has failed so miserably at teaching children grammar and spelling."

"its'"" Possessive of "it".  EX: "Because I had a wreck and had to replace it, that is its' second bumper."


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit saying "Its getting crazy in here," or "The United States thinks it's shit doesn't stink."


===================

here and hear


"here" - again, generally a pronoun. EX: "If you are posting here, please take care to do it in an educated fashion."

"hear" - a verb. EX: "I hear that you are moving to Florida."


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit saying things like "If I here you crying again I'm going to shit," and "I hope you're hear later."


===================


to, two, and too

"to": preposition - EXs: "Where is the remote control to this TV?" "We are going to the store."

"too": meaning "in addition to", "an excessive amount", or "extremely" -  EX: "Too many people in this forum don't use proper grammar."

"two": a number - EX: "Two people next door to me are arguing."


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop saying things like "To many people like two go too Karkand servers."


===================

Ahhhhh... I feel better. Feel free to add your own.
