Disregard for the rules of the english language

Asked by nigil800 about 1 month ago, 7 answers.

I have noticed on this site and other forum sites that people take liberties with the English language. Often, I see grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and captialization errors. I do not understand why people do not take their time to notice these...

things. I think that it is important to keep these things in mind when you write. I feel that you are disrespecting the English language. Why do people feel that these things do not matter? It brings into question how educated you are. I feel people do not give the English language the respect it deserves. I would like to know your feelings on the subject. I am sorry if I have offended anyone.

***reyt 'm guner tek p*ss wiv dis coment because liek yor just stupid if people woner disregard da enlish words and that dey can its quiker and esy ter write liek it tbh so yer try it sum tym its ppls choices ter der own innit***

If you type with THAT many errors, then why post at all? If you're asking for advice, the majority of people who can GIVE well-informed advice, won't take you very seriously; and certainly won't be inclined to read through something so... painful...

Hello again Nigil800. happy
Once again, it's different people, different ages, different ways of doing things. Sometimes, I have a hard time understanding some on here, but everybody seems to do things their own way.
I feel the things you have mentioned do matter, but I won't pick at people on a site about it. It's not my place to correct others. lol

...the breakdown of the english language is nigh...
ha ha ha...
yeah...I think the younger generation disregards grammar.
drives me crazy, but, whatever.

(I don't use capital letters unless I'm writing a paper...it's just faster.)

I dont think its "disrespecting" the language. I type the way I do thanks to texting. im so use to textin that I type that way. the only time I really pay attention and fix everything is when im typing something for someone or actually writing something. everyones different. some type like little perfect people, I dont. thats not me, I dont type that way. I have my own way of typing, everyone does. I dont pay attention to how someone types, I dont pay attention if they spelled everything right, or if the got correct punctuations, or captialize their words. I read what they say, but how they type ISN important to me, their advice is but not the way they type it. if you notice all the mistakes that one does, then you must really have time on your hands with all these people on here.

I don't have a problem with people using "chatroom English" or "text message English" as long as chatrooms and cell phones are the only places where such language is used. Speaking and writing that way in general society just makes you look like an imbecile.

That being said, there are some grammatical errors that really bother me, along with overall horrid spelling. Intelligence and education are things to be proud of, not ashamed of.
