i think someone would beg to differ....G

 

Typing and texting phonetic shorthand is fine but, an attempt at correct english and grammar should be attempted when you are typing out full sentences and paragraphs.

A dropped ' in contractions is forgivable but your and you're and other blatant errors really bring the poster's IQ down

 

Darned right!

Attempts should be attempted!

 

I am afraid to post in this thread for fear of grammatical mistakes.

 

Damn straight. When I first moved to PA people said "youz guys" all the time and it drove me nutz, or nutsed as some say.

 

the worst is when people use "notoriety" in a positive sense when describing fame. lots of educated people make the mistake.

but wut really really tix me off is when people try to sound intelligent by using big words when speaking, some words should only be used in written language, not it spoken language!!!!!!!!!!!!! it really throws off conversations and disconnects the flow of communication. usually makes the person sound like they are trying too hard.

 

Steve and I were down at the Subway, man he sure likes a plethora of toppings on his.

 

a friend of mines (had to throw that in there) uses "ignorant" in all the wrong ways. i don't think he knows what it really means.

 

<---CONSUMATE OVER-TYPER

sometimes I get ahead of myself
