Красивая Ведьма Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does bad grammar on forums irritate you? Personally, it drives me crazy, and I can't understand why people would want to look idiotic on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twig Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 People don't care to have good grammar in the internet because they say capitalizing, putting commas, and writing out the whole word is a waste of time. But the truth is, they just don't know how to type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I dont like Grammar Nazi's.I surely wouldn't correct someone IRL unless how they spoke caused a problem, why do it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't correct people like an ass, but if someone's speaking Ebonics online, I'll probably say something. There's a limit to how stupid I'll let you sound before I can't keep quiet about it, and if you really care about getting your point across, you should know how to lay it out in an easily digestible manner. Of course, there are some rules I don't always strictly follow, but in general I try to be consistently accurate in structuring my sentences. Whenever I see a custom card, I instinctively try to make it sound as realistic and professional as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I dont like Grammar Nazi's.I surely wouldn't correct someone IRL unless how they spoke caused a problem' date=' why do it online?[/quote'] Because IRL it's likely a speech impediment. Online, it's just being stupid. Unless they're dyslexic or something, which I could forgive, but I don't see why many dyslexic people would go online in the first place.

GraveHorizon Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I also don't like when someone abbreviates something, then says (I didn't feel like typing the whole thing lol) right next to it. It totally defeats the purpose of abbreviation if your explanation is longer than the word would have been had you typed it out in the first place! Or if you even have to explain the abbreviation at all. Damned rascals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's actually instinct for me to correct something that I hear/see that sounds/looks incorrect. I don't do it to be rude, it's just human nature. It never actually bothers me, but it gives me another excuse to be a dick over the internet.

Ghost Ryder Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sometimes I am. Personally it gets irritating and I just fix the grammar problem they have if they spell things wrong in a serious matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womi Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I hate it if it's too extreme. Of course you can forget letters sometimes or you accidentally misspell a word, but it shouldn't become too extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Красивая Ведьма Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Some people can't help it. They invented spellchecking for a reason. I, however, am also a punctuation Nazi. It isn't difficult to do. If you know and understand English it should be simple. The only way I would give a pass to someone is if said person didn't have English as their first language.

Shradow Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I am a complete and utter Grammar Nazi. I even correct adults, and I care not if they think that's rude. However, I don't mind typos. Well, that's spelling, not grammar... Well, I'm also a Spelling Nazi, but that's what this is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
