What Bad Use Of Grammar Annoys You?

Heh Lucycat, I read your post with absolutely no difficulty and find that the perspective of "just pure laziness" is a judgment that is largely unhelpful. Though I recognize that there is a reason for "grammar" on an international forum.
 
Hi Lucycat. I was able to read it, but it was an absolute nightmare for me. I felt the need to correct it all, but I understand your point. :eek: Now I have to try to calm myself down and prevent myself from correcting all those spelling mistakes. :O_o: This is not me, it's basically because of my writing- my brain is "wired" so to speak, to automatically correct spelling mistakes, but I'm usually polite enough to shrug it off. I'm not doing it with a deliberate intention to make you feel bad or anything.

Your post however, did remind me of the popular note going around which says that words are read as a whole and it doesn't matter which order the letters are in, you can still read the words as long as the letters are all there and the first letter and last letter are the same.

I can understand the whole "English is not my first language" excuse. However, members on the forum should know to space their paragraphs, use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence, capitalize the letter "I" if it is on its own, and use a period at the end of a sentence. These are basic rules that I think come across in all languages.

I won't be writing on this topic any more. I feel so stuck up right now, and I have to cool down.
 
My darling husband gets 'of and off' as well as 'were and where' mixed up. I used to get cross with him so he said I could go around and edit after him if it bothered me so much. I did until recently where we can't edit another staff member's post without it showing.... now I just send him PC's with links. :rolleyes::ninja:
