How important are correct grammar and spelling?
PostPosted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 11:06 pm


Good god! What to say... Well, all I can really go with here is "tremendously". Personally, I loathe AOHELLspeak, when it is used seriously. The mere whisper of "a/s/l" is enough to make me start dreaming of violent, bloody, and most importantly of all, messy murder. Well, most of the time anyway. Sometimes it is quite amusing to laugh at other's stupidity. Actually, that would be most of thet time. And anything, when used in a satirical manner, can be quite humorous. But severely improper grammar? That's just... dumb.

Yeah. And there's really no excuse for it except people being lazy, or... just not caring... which bugs me. Eep. I don't care about most things, but this is important to me O.O

I saw a T-shirt at J-n-S, and I can't remember what the whole thing said, it was about 'Tourist Season' and the last sentence said '...They're just to easy.' I was laughing about how sad it is that a T-shirt company messed up on the too. Imagine how much money they didn't make.

The saddest thing
about some shirts
is that the spelling
almost hurts

What's true to life
of the shirt wearing bore
is they seem the dull knife
of the spoon drawer

I agree with you completely. And the grammar doesn't have to be perfect, as long as it's kinda there. I absolutely hate the shortening of words though >_<

I think both grammer and spelling are important, I just fail misreably at times while trying to do so. I do sometime replace be with b and you with u or for with 4, but that's usually whan I'm in a rush.

*laughs* I loved that book. The one with the worst run ons is Oscar Wilde, but I absolutely ADORE his writing, he makes these amazing sentences. Technically they aren't run ons because they are correct grammer, but they take up like half a page.
