Forum Grammar Poll

I was wondering; does forum grammar, or lack thereof, affect the weight of the poster's opinion?

I wouldn't say I'm a grammar Nazi exactly, but correct grammar is still mportant to me. Having said that though, if someone explains their point of view well while getting a few commas and apostrophes wrong, it won't, de-value their point of view.

I admittedly have poor grammar it drives some others nuts for most people don't appreciate the way that I am able to make a sentence last longer than most people serve for killing people.

In my opinion Poor spelling is so much wosererer than poor grammar.

My pet peeve is those that don't know the difference between your and you're

Nah not really. That FuCkiN gNGsta forNICAtewiT wut wuuuuutTTT speak, or text speak, from a keyboard gets passed over pretty quick by me.

All good to poke a bit of fun but some of the cleverest people I know are dyslexic or struggle to string a sentence together with keyboards or keypads, KB community members excluded

Yup, poor spelling certainly retards the poster in my eyes.

Your question should be:

Does grammar impact message communication?

**bogan** · 5th January 2015, 19:23

English is based on simple rules and logic/deduction for the most part, so those who are either too lazy or too ignorant to get the basic right, are likely to have the same flaws in general. Which would make their reasoning skills less robust, thus devaluing their opinion.

Would that not be TOO much?

No, it shouldn't. As BMWST said above, of course messages may be too hard to read and get ignored, but I'm talking about the in betweens. We know grammar impacts message communication, does it impact the value of the message communicated as well is what I wanted to start a discussion about.

Would also be you're and they're. You didn't pass my english test, but we can lower the standards for gay old gore... Hell, 33% is probably scholarship material in those parts
