Grammar, Gotdangit!

The than/then confusion irritates the fuck out of me.

As for bad grammar and spelling creeping into professional documents, I've even seen it in quasi-legal documents like leasing agreements.

Ugh. So true.

Oh my.

Taste of da skreet, yo!

We're losing her!

i think the point is, words are words. not trying to upset people, but some people have their panties in a bunch....and they will be bitches no matter what...

^^^ Please direct yourself to the spoiler.

Yeah! Who cares if you look and sound like an undereducated twit?

Trick said what? I know you didn't just call me a bitch--especially qualifying it with a "no matter what." I'm certain that we're not that well acquainted.


Actually, who in the fuck are you, now?

*giggle*

You said trick. You're a whore.

A ho will know. Ya know?

your dumber than i thought if you don't no that adverbs and conjunctions are the same thing! ("your" isntead of "you're" because the statement belongs to you, and "no" instead of "know" because i'm refuting your statement. english is fun!)

How did everybody miss this? All of you damn pantie-bunched bitches, get the fuck out.

I didn't miss it. I assumed that when she was proclaiming the virtues of dumbfuckdom, she was proclaiming her status as a club member.

Honey, we're supposed to free from error the benighted, not permit them to wallow in their own illiteracy with (or without, in this case) aplomb. You're just being lazy.

There are plenty of brilliant people who lack spelling and grammar skills.

They are brilliant enough not to post in this thread.

They would also all undoubtedly agree that communication is at its most effective when everyone involved is making their best effort.

That's really the bottom line, StitchedDoll. It's annoying when people are lazy but understandable if somebody is a genius but also dyslexic. There's a vast difference. Don't confuse the two.

Oh god, if you've worked retail, you've definitely heard most of it. "Do I makes my check out to Kmarts'?" Or even "Kmarts-is" (don't know exactly how to spell it, so that's how they would pronounce it)

I hate when people can't spell out a simple word like "what" when texting, "wat" gets under my skin. As does the fact that I knew someone that would text "Will see" instead of "We'll see"....it was like, seriously, WTF?!

Do they also lack the ability to learn? Do they lack the ability to read something out loud and realize their words do not sound like human speech?

Oh lord.
I work in retail in the Mountain South. I visibly shudder sometimes when people talk.
