Grammar

How do i improve my grammar here? I have no problems typing im very fast but i think my grammar sucks on cannabis.com everywhere else (except msn) is fine. How do you remember to dot your i's and cross your t's?

Sensi made me, I used to just use "i" but she convinced me to use "I" lol.

I like the think I have spot on grammar on here, as well as msn (apart from I still use "i" on there haha.)

:D

See response below - I accidently double-posted, or maybe there's a glitch in cannabis.com's system! :dance:

Type it on a word processor program, such as WORD, with spell-check. Then you can just cut and paste your copy. My Windows XP-loaded laptop has spell-check for direct messages also, but I rarely use it.

Just be sure to not make the mistake of substituting the wrong word(s) when given choices. A girl I worked with, when writing a letter to her landlord about a broken pipe, used the phrase, "link in the chicken", rather than, "leak in the kitchen".

It would be a good idea to keep a dictionary and thesaurus on hand, also.

Oh yeah, and don't double-post when you answer questions, lol! :thumbsup:

I'm a retired English teacher...so you can imagine the obsessive compulsive behavior I experience when reading the various posts! Monk (if you have ever watched the TV series) would go absolutely bonkers on this board!! I too have this strong desire to correct "grammar stuff." lol However, I am slowly becoming accustomed to seeing atrocious grammar and am learning to deal with it! Lastly, I have to agree with Highjinx, this is a place to just be yourself. Proper grammar should be reserved for the classroom.

Yeah I have even made a thread saying people's names ought to have capital letters in the correct places and all sorts of stuff like that :D

Oh, gammer is easy. :D

I'm getting used to some people who don't use proper grammer. I feel like a Nazi when they disobey me. "Uz, la shlat proopa grameza!" But, I'm used to it now.

[buddymyfriend]

I bet folk here think my grammar is awful! I'm constantly using abbreviations and missing puntuation marks. Not sure why I do, laziness I guess!

Peace

If you really want to improve your grammer, I think the best way is to read. Read books, read the newspaper, read whatever you can get your hands on. You won't realize it but you will soon start to absorb the language skills of better writers. Then, when writing something yourself, read what you have written and think about whether or not you could have said it better.

You did mention, however, that it is only on cannabis.com that you seem to have this problem. Could it simply be that you are too baked to use good grammer? :stoned: If that's the case, don't worry about it. Just remember, anyone who points out that you have bad grammer probably isn't as high as you are.

"Gilligan"? No, it's MAYNAAAAAARD! That's Bob Denver in his first (and best) TV role, as Maynard G. Krebs, on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which aired in the early 1960's. He played the beatnik sidekick to the girl-crazy Gillis (Dwayne Hickman).

Excellent answer! Monk would be going crazy! I too had a hard time with the grammar when I first logged on. I agree with Highjinx also. And I keep a dictionary at hand too.:) :dance: :stoned:

Yeah I agree with Fengzi, reading is the key to extending your vocabulary and improving grammar and spelling. It's not even so much the grammar thats terrible - spelling is really bad - even basics, like knowing when to use there, their and they're. I guess some people just got too baked in school :stoned: :D

[highjinx]

I have loved to spell and know that I am top class at spelling and grammar and stuff at school... I find spelling so easy, I mean you just write the word as you say it, and just don't be a dumbass :D
