Spelling and grammer

[Dean]

Indeed - However so many kids are so far from being able to write something that can be understood.

Pull them up on it. Give them shit.

I hate to put Dean up as a great example - but the kids post were some of the worst on here.

We could tell he was typing shit - but just could not understand what he was typing.

Over the time he has been on here he was given a ton of crap about it.

Now - whilst he still types shit in quantities that still amaze and astound - you can at least understand them and tell what he is going on about.

So tough love works - as long as the person on the end is willing to take a little time and effort (and Dean at least did that - and deserves credit for it).

Here we go again with Dean this Dean that.
My spelling and grammar hadn't been as bad as the likes of others, I dont think Ive ever done full text talk on here.

I think you need to differentiate between the illiterate and the lazy. There are a few people who really struggle, but a lot more who simply choose the lazy way to write. No capitals or punctuation, no sentence or paragraph construction, txt spk nd l33t.

The irritation expressed on this site reflects society's aversion to such self-indulgent laziness, which was even encouraged (albeit briefly) by our "education system".

Somewhere, your dictionary is crying.

I prefer this scenario it's so comforting

sigh...

My new years resolution is to ignore threads I don't understand, and if I am interested I will pm them... rather than drag their improper England thru the mud in a thread that has nothing to do with England... <<< I like that....

If we were all the same, what a boring world this would be....

[Grahameeboy]

so its obvious I am not a top speller..and I never will be (geordie spells for me) you don't get my point... some people no matter how hard they try, just don't improve.

More to life than grammar...I was born in London where the Queen lives but my bad grammar is just my dialect.....

My family are from Lec/London...and my fella is a geordie... know where your coming from... on the other side of the fence I work with children that have speech problems and reading/spelling/writing.... its hard work, but they try hard, hence maybe where the lazy comes in... but still no need to make a big deal about it... I still say if anyone does not make sense take them aside and explain it...

Actually, I've often wondered what it'd be like to be stupid. Would one be aware of it? Is it like being fat, or crippled?

Or is there just a sort of dim, pervasive bliss?

The uncharitable might suggest that you have just answered your own question.

so long as you under stand the message, what does it matter.

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

If the police police police police, who polices the police police? Police police police police police police.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Funny or not, they are all grammatically correct sentences. Read more here.

Sure, but a problem arises when the spelling and grammar falls to such a level that understanding the poster's intended point is pretty much a lottery.
