Stupidity help: I have a problem, a terrible awful hellish problem. - Help.com

Why didn’t you use the program you mentioned then?

I prefer to read a proper sentence, but it doesn’t bother me. As long as I know what they’re saying, I’m fine.

I understand what you’re saying though. I have a problem with miss-worded sentences, like “Yesterday Night”… That one bothers me.

I know what you mean. Spelling and punctuation when mis-used or un-used is frustrating. Though It would be unfair of me to punish those who are slack on this end of the spectrum.. For alas I am myself a serial mispeller.

you shud not be so critikale of peoples with bad spelling a nd gramer

Are you a perfectionist? The sad thing is perfectionists not only beat up others for silly things like not obeying rules, but they also beat themselves up on a regular basis. By treating themselves badly they think they have licence to treat others badly as well. If you don’t understand a post you are free to ignore it.

Hmmm I would say, most spelling mistakes and bad grammar are due to rushing or simple laziness.

It is the wrong website to scrutinize people for their literary prowess. But I do like a well organised sentence now and again.

For example;

Or, perhaps, just thinking out loud here. The serial offenders, imbeciles, whatever you want to call them, could use one of the MANY programs out there, for example there is an add-on in firefox that automatically spell checks your writing as you type it!

Would sound much better if it were organised thus.

Or, perhaps, just thinking out loud here;(inserted semi-colon instead of full stop. Its a continuation of thought) The serial offenders, imbeciles or (using a verbal trajectory instead of punctuation makes it flow better) whatever you want to call them, could use one of the MANY programs out there. (full stop instead of comma. Its a start of something new) for example there is an add-on in firefox that automatically spell checks your writing as you type it!

That was just a tease.

I found referring to people who can’t spell correctly imbeciles insulting and i do not see how being able to spell correctly is a prerequisite of offering others help of any kind.

I think Miss Jessica Bunny was simply stating a pet peeve. Until laws condemn those who cant spell correctly are enforced. It will simply have to go un-noticed.

Everyone can spell when they want to!

I didn’t actually say i was insulted. I said i found you referring to people who can not spell correctly imbeciles insulting. To be honest when people on here are offering advice, solutions or just a shoulder to cry on the last thing i care about is their level of spelling ability. I do not condone the use of bad spelling, in fact i don’t give it much thought and i certainly do not stress out over it.

Knight-edg! You’ve done it! You’re a genius! We SHOULD pass a law enforcing people to spell correctly. I’ll be referencing you in my petition to send off to number 10… ;)

I feel a revolution coming!

Ha ha I like that!

I feel that is a campaign slogan right there!

“Screw free speech! We want better speech!”

Splendid. I’ll get my dictionary ready!

Oh dear… lol. I would detest any dictionary that sanctioned the word ‘braaappp’

I’ll take a copy of shakespeare’s works. That will surley makes things more colourful.

Wow this post blowed my mind i will get better at this spelling and grammar now! (:

With the advent of txt language atrohpy is inevitable I am afraid

(spot the mistakes)

Do some linguistic research, find out how grammar and spelling developes throughout the history of language. The terrible spelling and grammar mistakes that are becoming common on the internet - that is the way new languages develop. Speaking of which, most of what we think of as “correct” in modern English is just a corruption of older versions of “correct”. We’re all have poor grammar and spelling by the standards of some time, so chill :)

Interesting post!
But, as long as its legible, then Im cool with it!
To err is human!
And as khalivarsha said language evolves…
Like, look at your last post Miss Bunny, over there you use the word mantra which actually originated in Indian languages, most porbably Sanskrit and then Hindi before it came to english and within the last two centuries… and sounds similar but not the same as it should in its original tounge…
But, yeah! prepfer it to be legible and understandable upon the first read without too much brain work!
