Who hates when….?

Who hates when people cannot spell or use grammar correctly?

I am so tired of your instead of you’re, or there instead of their or they’re. Also, I hate “text” spelling. It just seems to be a bad habit that too many kids have.

Good God people..make sure your (not ur) children have an education and that it shows up in print.

At last, someone who agrees with me. I asked a question on languages three days ago about bad spelling, grammar and punctuation.

I’m astonished that more than half the questions asked on YA have such elementary spelling mistakes. Many have no punctuation and often the grammar is incorrect.

People keep telling me I’m just too picky. I even got a violation for asking why someone’s spelling was so bad!

I’m not brilliant at English, but I try.

I am an English grammar and composition instructor at university, but I don’t feel as strongly about this as you do.

There’s a big difference between an error and a mistake. Errors occur when people are unaware of the correct form. Mistakes involve mistyping or misspeaking.

Truthfully, “there” “their” and “they’re” mistakes are not that big of a deal. As long as the reader understands the intention, the message is effectively communicated.

It’s possible that I’ve made mistakes in this answer. I didn’t proofread. I’ve made no grammatical errors though.

I don’t hate it when people misspell words or use incorrect grammar, but I do feel bad for them. I’m fortunate to have been born to intelligent, educated parents who showed me by example the value of an education. My mother taught me to read and corrected my grammar when I made a mistake, but some people did not have those advantages.

Yes, it is annoying; It only shows their inability to spell and use English correctly or it shows their apathy in providing readers with intelligible senetences.

I believe that most of this is due to the increased use of AIM and texting on phones. I hope they don’t write that way on their homework.

I absolutely agree. It drives me crazy to see the horrible spelling and grammatical errors on here. It also drives me nuts when I see a commercial vehicle use a bastardized version of a word ie: Kountry. Ugh! No wonder kids can’t spell!

i always correct my friends whenthey use your instead of “you’re” and they always make fun of people. It bugs me too when people do that, but you just have to correct them.I don’t mind the text spelling. I use it myself on homework after i checked it.

It doest really make a difference to me, what I don’t like is people who say good God…..oh and some people just don’t type good and I am one of those people. It really shouldn’t bug you because its not your problem. Just don’t answer those questions.

I am really not trying to be rude sorry if it sounds that way.

Edit oops i didn’t type doesn’t right. Please 4 give me.
