Fixed it for you.

Comma not needed.

I'm in.

Oh THAT'S what he said! Thanks, AC!

GREAT to meet a fellow G-Nazi!

Laziness, yes; ignorance, yes; deliberately, perhaps, just to make a G-Nazi mad!

Now admittedly, I have made a mistake here and there when posting on boards, and it bothers me, especially if there's no edit function. Mistakes happen, but I don't understand why someone posts in all lower-case letters, or doesn't use commas or periods, or cannot spell "their" instead of "there".

And I too, have wondered how anyone who receives even the most basic education, cannot understand and employ the most basic grammatical skills.

I'm with you OP - I don't correct people, but poor grammar is a reflection of your upbringing and education, and doesn't get you very far if you work in a professional setting.

I can happily ignore typos, as everyone makes them, but poor grammar is another matter. I believe it is not about being lazy, rather, it's a reflection of the inner self.

When people put up with sub-standard communication, then that flows in to putting up with sub-standard everything else - namely education system, government decrees, banking cartels and everything else where it is possible to be lorded over.

Take back ownership of your self and your destiny with good grammar, one comma, or period, at a time.

I couldn't agree more. Anyone can make an occasional error, but when I see a paragraph that gives me a headache just to try and decipher what the person means, all I can think about is how poorly educated the person is. The lack of basic grammatical understanding leads to a questioning of the soundness of the very idea they're attempting to communicate as well (how can you possibly understand the concept of X when you don't even understand the more basic concept properly written language).

It's not just bad grammar that drives me nuts - everywhere you look there is a possessive apostrophe when a plain 's' for a plural is correct. Such ignorance - eg one sock, two socks - NOT sock's - aaaaarrggh!!

weather instead of whether

your instead of you're

there instead of they're

there instead of their

no commas

using all lower-case letters

abbreviated code - Examples: u for you, r for are (don't you know it takes so much longer to type TWO additional letters!)

My keyboard blows. It's new and I hate it. I have lot's of mistakes just from not proof reading before I post.

My daughter has this keen ability to spot typos in every book she reads! It's like a curse, LOL! I think she'll make a fine editor someday.

grammatical death squad needed.

I am among the super Nazis when it comes to grammar and punctuation - as I take no prisoners. I constantly correct others - and when I do so repeatedly over the same mistakes, I castigate and berate - albeit in a humorous way. A recurring mistake that irks me to no end is ending sentences with the preposition "at". It doesn't get any more trailer park than that. When I over-hear a person on their cell exclaim, "Where are you at!" I want to regurgitate.

English is not my first language.

Grammer nazi = chronic bed wetter.

Spellcheck nazi = Chronic bed wetter.


Spellcheck is not my friend, and I refuse to conform.








:Doomon:

Enter instead of comma?

"UNTIE"???? What are we having, a shoe untying contest???

And yet 0 mistakes, interesting.

(i just soiled myself)

Hey, spelling nazis are on another thread.


One question mark is enough.
