Why does Spelling matter on Glp? Can I not write what I want without having to have my grammar and punctuation analyzed?

yes grammar nazi's are staritng to get a bit annoying.

anyway you cut that cake, having a spellchek feature is not superior intelligence, so i assume that was an ironic comment. that's the trouble with communicating this way, you can't see people's eyes, or hear tone, but then again, that kind of direct communication proved not to be safe for defensless, women with no one at their corner. the only reason people have to "put up" with each other's spelling is, coz some people grew from angels to predators who do not shy from abusing troubled women if they think that will get them a chance to sleep with her.
that is so sad.think about it, it's sad.

luckaly someone nice posted a funy grammar nazi clip,so i will watch it after this, to forget about how sad the whole situation turend out to be, while some people gloat that i have mentioned them in my post, and imagine that to be some kind of a sick crush on my part.

a 15 year old boy used to molest me sexually when i was 5.

26 year old man raped me when i was 16.

i still have feelings towards these men, they are feelings of disgust and hate.

do not confuse the feelings you provoke in me, repulsion and hate are feelings and they are the kind of feelings you develop when your cousin makes you have sex at 5 years old, or a man you trusted and looked up to, rapes you, or a bunch of people who were suppose to be superior beings and help you get over the biggest loss of you very hard and painful life, see only a sexual object in you, and assume the very worst about you, and will gladly abuse and exploint issues they think you have, and are ready to slap you around if that will get them some cheap sexual thrills.

aw my gosh, i apologize to the OP for ruinning the jovial tone in this thread, i just wanted to make something clear to people who abused me and live in this perpetual delusion that i somehow led them to do it, asked them for it, or have loving feelings for them .
right, now off to grammar nazi's clip....

I don't agree with that premise.
I just think it's easy for most people to be lazy.
The ability to accurately convey complex thought doesn't lend itself well to hillbilly verbiage and spelling.

But, please.. continue to rationalize 'hillbillyism', as perfectly acceptable.

I know you will...

actually he is right, word for word. you on the other hand come on a silly forum and act like you've got a phd from oxford english department, aw wait, no you don't professors of english actually know that nobody spells well as far as english is conserned, coz english spelling isn't sensible activity nor a logical one, says george bernard shaw, and his "physch" example.you just act like a sad attention starved boy, who thinks he can put me to shame when i am doing nothing wrong.
(why does every english speaking compututer have spell checking software, if i am the only one that cannot spell?)
i am as educated as you are, and so intelligent, that i wish i was less intelligent and more beutiful, that would suit me perfectly better.
anyways, it's easy to be smart on line, when you can google, everything and your computer checks your spelling....don't you see you look sad and like a complete control freak constantly bugging people about their spelling and grammar?
it jsut makes yolu look desperate, and boring.

yus ewe kan right n e thang ud lik an spel it ur way. im knot juging n e thang ur sayin...

Buried deep within you, beneath all the years of pain and anger, there is something that has never been nurtured: the potential to make yourself a better man. And that is what it is to be human. To make yourself more than you are.

~Captain Jean-Luc Picard

That quote is for you slackers out there.

Here is a thought for you OP. Go read some great quotes, you know, inspirational shit. Then retype them will a bunch of spelling errors and lazy incoherent grammar. Perhaps, you will then understand why spelling and grammar matter. You don't have to be perfect, few are. However, effort is always appreciated.

See now...? That block of text is very unattractive and unappealing.

I'm not well-educated. College drop-out..

I merely wish to communicate effectively.
For myself, that includes the proper use of spelling and grammar, to the best of my ability.

You can do whatever you fucking want to.
I am here for the party...

Lol

thanx for the clip

the block of text is only unattractive if it's got nothing to say. i happen to know i've got plenty intersting, intelligent things to say, "fortunately" for me i am middle aged and had met many people in my life before you, and know this for a fact coz they have told me.because i do have something to say, people who matter will take the time to go through my poor spelling.
i cannot spell it's just the way i am, so making paragraphs would kind of be silly since already i write like a kid, and kids do not make pargraphs.
people like you of course cannot understand this, you think i write like this coz i am lazy, and i really just do it coz a) i am child like and b) i do not give in to peer pressure, didn't do it in 4rth grade will not cave in now....enjoy the party....

Honestly OP, you a free to be a bad as you want to be. I never call people on poor grammar, spelling, or other English failures. I simply ignore posts that contain such items.
I believe that using proper English is respectful to the reader. Practically, it does matter a lot, simply because poor grammar makes your idea difficult to understand. See Ebonics.

IT makes people feel better.

It is kind of annoying (for whatever reason) to those of us who find it rather simple to spell and punctuate. It's almost nearly impossible NOT to correct people in regular conversation as well. We see it as such an easy thing that it's hard to grasp why some people find it difficult I suppose.

Did you not read books as a child? Do you read them now? It seems to me it's the non-readers that have the most issues. Reading is fundamental, yo.

Also, no matter how wonderful your point is, if you (not you you) sound like you didn't pass the third grade, it really detracts from the overall statement.

Everyone makes a typo or uses the wrong your/you're or to/two/too or their/there/they're sometimes. But some of us notice and correct it.

And question... is everyone that's posting here being extra careful not to make an error? LOL

Good one...

That is great scriptwriting.
Mere words, phrases.. assembled and polished by a writer,
conceived and intended to accurately portray the noble insight of a character
and to garner an emotional response from the audience.


Writers enjoy a love-affair with the written word.
It's not for everybody..

Agree with OP. On GLP it seems accurate facts don't matter... But don't misspell a word or you get your head chopped off!

FAT CHANCE.

Excessive bad grammar and spelling issues shows lack of intelligence.

Best to identify the blatant tards as soon as possible.

Your spelling sucks.

Your own post is riddled with a few mistakes, too. You didn't even transcribe the quote correctly.

I don't go around correcting people. I couldn't care less.
And I said, 'some people are lazy'.. not all.
You attribute motives to me that are non-existent.

If you read my posts on this thread.. you will see that I have offered my opinion..

That is all you get.

Nobody who matters will take your opinions seriously if you can't spell and speak like an intelligent person.

i don't read, only if i have to, i consider book obsolete.
(just my opinion.)
just the way i am, but this has been going on since i was 25, from the time i was 6 till 25 i used to devour books, i'd read two books a day, at times, and this is in serbo croatian and english. it didn't help my spelling.

no i am not careful as to the way i post, and if you point it out once, that is ok, but if you try to make fun of me, that is passive agressive and it just makes me not give a fuck about your opinion.

i think that ignoring posts that annoy you for whatever reason is a legitimate strategy and i support it.

Know you cant

as mark twain said:

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.
