Why do people hate grammar?
I was browsing AF tonight and came across several posts that were headaches to read. submitted, for your entertainment, one post below. Read through it and count the number of periods, commas, or other common punctuation.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use your periods and commas people. I'd like my hair to grow back, I'm tired of ripping it out translating some of the posts that are out there.

Make you wonder,if they can't string a coherent sentence together,whether they actually have the earnings potential to purchase the kind of vehicles that they love to brag about.

People who write like that are lazy. My guess is that most of those folks are going to be part of the "You want fries with that?" crowd for a long, long time.

Yeah, I know what you mean Yogs...but I'm quite lazy, and I still manage to get over there to the . when need be...
Example, a few summers ago, our TV remote broke...so I taped to yardsticks together and prodded the TV channel up/down button from afar...unweildy and inefficient as hell, but damnit! I wasn't going to move!

People just spell everything like it sounds nowadays...Which is really aggravating because it might sound like one thing to one person, and something else to another....

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the people that can seem to spell the words 'one' 'two' 'you' 'any' etc. Those people drive me nuts.
"U should go 2 the store" "Can n e 1 hear me?" You know that crap. Come on people, your not saving that much time by avoiding two keystrokes. Last edited by GundamExpo; 09-18-2003 at 02:33 PM. |

The ones that get me are those that bitch about one person's abbreviation of a word when they themselves can't spell very well anyway.
Seems like the pot calling the kettle black to me

I even deal with it at work where people misuse and mis-pronounce words (pronouncing height, "heith") and then they mock me because I pronounce a word differently. It's like somebody bitching about spelling yet they themselves can't spell very well. BTW, it's "come on" or "c'mon". "common" has a completely separate meaning
