Does it seem that the english language is being hacked apart by apathy?
Punctuation in the internet realm is not 100% needed but using words like wut for what just makes my English teaching grandmother roll over in her grave that shes not in yet.
It makes it really a bizarre experience translating alot of the posts I see here.
Anyway, be better.
PS if your a secondary english speaker then this has nothing to do with you.
yes its a joke but still...
I've been feelin the same way. I didnt want to say anything because... what can ya do.. Its kind of a bummer because I dont see it as much on other forums. So people... you're purpetuating a steriotype... seriously. Its a shitty steriotype. lets show a little hustle out there... :(

I wasn't suggesting that we ban them!
Maybe a free link to a english/grammer site.

Yeah, I always try to write how I was taught to in English classes.
OMG, it makes me SO upset in the grow forums when people ask questions that are going to take someone a lot of time and effort to answer, and aren't even respectful enough to write out the question in decent- or even comprehensible- grammar and spelling. My ass is SO chapped by this.
Here's my new favorite cat picture... :D

engish was always a diterirating language. I dont respect the english language at all, all of the writers and quotes I like in english are not proper english. I like when rappers use english in their own way thats at least more dirrect and much kooler. english was a language made from a bunch of others such as latin, french, and a whole plethera of others. It shows when you learn other languages such as any word that ends with "tion" , thats a french word (more than likely). Masterbation, fraction, evolution, etc.
that may be true MS, but jus BcuZ inglish is a a derivadiv of uther langwiges duzint mayk it fare game to rite al uv you're postes liek a FUCKING THREE YEAR OLD. Which obviously you dont, I'm using the word "you" as a general term.
I agree with you about hip-hop artists bending our flexible language. Common does it brilliantly.
I think the only thing more painful than trying to answer the "my plantz are di-ing how due I mayk em bud?!!!" posts, are the ones when the 3 year old typers try to get surly and talk shit in there electronic chicken scratch. :wtf:
As an English teacher (state credential), I could tear this quote apart on technical issues. However, that would be completely counter-productive and would obfuscate the very significant fact that, despite how poorly it is written, the writer succeeds quite well at the main priority of language, which is communication.Quote:

Writing on the internet may take on a certain shorthand, but periods and commas add a lot to written communication and, when they are omitted, make the attempted comunication inane.
PC :pimp:
yeah, what he said :jointsmile:Quote:

I was being a bit of a grammar bitch yesterday... :o
To the kid's credit, he later conceded that he had been making less than perfect sense.
It drives me up the wall, too, PharmaCan! And I'm just a Teacher's Aide!- Granny:hippy:
Yeah, I got my teaching accreditation too, and I'm in total agreement in that communication is the main goal of writing. That's why there are accepted practices like grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The writing loses all it's power when you have to spend time trying to figure out what they're trying to say instead of using that time to give thought to the idea being written. That's why it grinds my gears. That, I think, was stating the obvious though, but apparently not. You're cool Granny and thanks again.
Why does everyone assume that you have to speak perfect English some of the greatest cookbooks in the world were written by people who could only speak Swahili.
i.e
The 100 best ways to cook long tailed monkeys.
How to make mosquito puree for beginners, etc
