I agree that they do, but seeing as how the thread started as a slur on people's bad 'gramer' i thought I'd make the point you just made. I made the point a little more tongue-in-cheek, though.*TS*tphai wrote:

That's the problem! Proper grammar makes reading things easier; It's scientifically proven! It's not so bad when people get a few things wrong, but when you end up trying to decypher every sentence it gets pretty damned annoying.BladeRunner wrote:
What's the point of language? Surely, it is to communicate? As long as I can understand what the person is 'saying', I can forgive the fact that they don't know the English language inside-out. Let's face it, most people don't know their past-participles from their elbows but we all managage to communicate to some degree.

thats spelling. note how the words are still the same length and have the same letters... and puncuation is still there. We're talking about sentence structure, proper word use, and punctuation.
Absolutely right. The grammar is more important than spelling (in the pic above the apostrophe in 'don't' is still in the correct place, otherwise it would be much harder to read.beeng wrote:

I just thought you might find this interesting as you obviously enjoy / have an interest in languages.

Uhm… Sorry m8, I've re-read your post 5 times and still don't get it. Most probably it’s just me, but what do you mean?Scorpion0x17 wrote:
If anyone posting criticism in this thread of anyone elses use language were actually a linguist then they wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) be posting the criticism in the first place.

Someone spotted a linguist? Shoot the bastard
A find myself unable to comprehend your sentence, and kindly ask for some enlightening clarification. That or, I should go home now and stop pretending to work at 1am.

And, if that's in response to my post - that's not what I was saying.fikraag7 wrote:
Yeah. While the above is way too common, this site is a forum. Most of these kids don't even know where the USA is on a map (50% of high school seniors cannot identify the US on a map), so why do you expect them to write in grammatically correct sentences on a website? That's asking a bit much, methinks.

It wasn't, by the way. I'm just saying--people are stupid.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Hmmm, I do believe your kinda over-exampling (if there ever is such a word ). The USA is not the only place where they speak English, and I still have to meet the first 12 year old that cannot point out the USA on a world map and say Texas is the capital city.fikraag7 wrote:
