rekinom8 User ID: 75387551 Germany 08/16/2017 01:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very easy to defend. "AOL speak" is a battle against conformity, where words are formed using most foreign looking spelling, and least pronunciation differences. Example: "You're Faux News is trash, moran." Gaining in popularity causes them to become mainstream, losing their purpose to exist and eventually disappear only to be replaced by new, fresher looking words, amirite? |

You grammar Nazi's have a real tough time learning new languages because you are not very flexible, language constantly changes. Why is there a You're to begin with, have you asked yourself that? Why not keep it You are? Sprache ist nicht schwer, wenn sie flexibel sind. |

I hear you OP and your point is well taken by some of us. It's a lost cause though. For every one person that you might reach who would actually acknowledge and appreciate it, twenty others will treat you like crap for pointing out other people's errors. Then in the meantime, another five new grammar tards will have become part of the GLP community. It's a lost cause, but I still call people out on the same thing occasionally. Thanks for your efforts though. |

I wish I didn’t have to sit next to you all day.” Your is a possessive pronoun and should be followed by a noun: ‘Your car, your phone…’ One common mistake is to say, ‘Hope your okay’.

Whether we know the different between your and you're is not relevant. The fact that you call people idiots is much worse. I edit for a living. I edit for men who are brilliant. They think so fast. They put togethers ideas that amaze me. So sometimes they are speaking into their phone and the phone does not get it right. Sometimes they are thinking so fast they miss the idiosyncracies of English. Most of these men have IQs in the 130s. They are far from idiots. And they are kind. Kinder than you. So yes, I understand YOU know the difference. You are just so smart. But it is not smart to call other people names. Unless it is Snowflake. You can always call Snowflakes Snowflake. |

Many of us don't want to give away our situation as many of us have secretaries, and when we comment, we are just let our fingers type without the consideration to grammar. So take it easy. It you can get the gist, that is should be fine enough. Besides, writing well might make us too credible. We need to be careful or we might get caught as you never know who is observing you. |
