Sara Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Using correct English makes your post easier to read and understand. And whether you realize it or not, the way you speak--in this case, type--makes an impression on people as to your intelligence level. If you constantly make mistakes in grammar and spelling without bothering to correct them, your posts are tiresome to read. There are some people whose posts I don't read at all anymore, simply because I don't feel like trying to decipher a message that he/she couldn't take the time to type out correctly.

Nerdsy Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 I think I use correct English. And this topic reminds me of an old member, a friend of KAMAKAZI, that used to post in unreadable posts. Here is an example. Remember: I am not used to writing in babble.

BabyGirl Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Single H [/i] [B]How many people actually using plain, understandable english? I did spot some incorrect spelling. So tell me, how many is there? [/B][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]Hahaha, I get it. I don't think anyone other than zanza really did...and yes, there are a lot of people here that cannot spell too well, use the wrong words or grammar, or seemed to have missed the day they learned punctuation. Now I'm not perfect when it comes to this stuff either, but believe me, when it comes time for resumés and college applications...you'll want good English.

Navi Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Transtic Nerve [/i] [B]I'm like a grammar freak... it can spot bad grammar alot of times... then again, it's hard to tell because you can't hear the expression in a persona's voice on the net... Spelling however, can be a toughy... I'm not the best speller and I tend to typo alot sometimes... I try to correct it.... but I don't always.... and sometimes I'm too lazy to make the beggining of a sentence capitalized.... [/B][/QUOTE] hehe, kawala. :laugh: ;) [Quote][i]Originally posted by tori[/i] [b]An LeMMe JuS SaY DaT PPL WHo TyPe LiKe DiS aRe ReaLLy FxxKiNG aNNoYiN...[/b][/quote] i agree, it also takes them longer to type then when typing normally.....why would anyone want to do that, gahhhh.

Navi Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 I posted about Single H's grammar and spelling, then I deleted it because I saw that he was from Malaysia and maybe English wasn't his first language. Then I thought that sarcasm was being applied, but I couldn't tell. :( Anyway, I think, if you want to be treated as an intelligent human being on the Internet, you should atleast use correct spelling and grammar. And it's ok if you make mistakes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
