Grammar is somewhat important. Commas do save lives for instance:" Let's eat grandpa." "Let's eat, Grandpa." |

I agree 100%. It's scary that in America we're primarily only taught and expected to speak one language, yet somehow everyone does a damn good job at botching the operation.
Your and you're Their, they're and there It's and its To, two and too
These along with many others drive me insane. It isn't hard to write a halfway proper sentence, no one's expecting you to be perfect, but at the very least try to achieve a writing level higher than a fifth grader. |

Oh look, social elitist. I'm better then you because I can use a comma.
Communication is about delivering a message. You know what is being said, don't be a jerk and make fun of someone because of how it was delivered. |

Add "could of" and "would of" to that list. It baffles me how people think that's the correct spelling for "could've" and "would've". "I could care less" sort of rubs me the wrong way too...
I don't complain about people's grammar, seeing as I make mistakes too, but it tends to be quite hard to read some posts if the grammar and punctuation is poor. |

"could've" = could have "would've" = would have |

You're right, the problem is, messages are often misinterpreted due to improper grammar and punctuation. A communication delivered with proper grammar and punctuation is more easily understood by the audience. Indeed, this is the reason grammar and punctuation exist. |

Actually this one breaks the mind logic. It has been mostly proven that as long as the first letter and the last letter are correct, that our brains can actually translate mispelled words. When I read your message I first thought it meant "This Thread is true or false" Then I realized that had no context and looked again using my knowledge of forum memes and realized it meant full of fail.
Your message is an actual example of why there are misunderstandings in communication. |

^ I loled. Seriously though poor grammar and puntuation make some thing unbearable to read. I know I make more than my fair share of mistakes too. I often skip entire posts on these forums after the first few words due to them being very hard to read. |

"Ignorance" kills more people than Grammar..... Fact. ... seriously
If you read; " Let's eat grandpa.", and you go ahead and "EAT" you grandpa... you are a VERY ignorant person. |

Agreed but i deliberately used those particular letters that did not belong in the approved spelling and should have quickly dismissed the idea of recognizing the first and last letter in order for the brain to reorganised the letters to form a recognised word and its meaning, leaving only the possibility that i was simply trolling in a troll thread ,
but lets be honest you eventually decoded the message which meant it only made it more challenging for your brain....
....so congrats to you sir and a 100 internet points on the house 07

I actually had to go back and read this three times to decipher what you were saying. I possess a fairly high reading comprehension level (post graduate). I pity someone who has a low reading comprehension level trying to understand some posts on these forums; I imagine they simply give up. |

I would think most people who have a low reading comprehension wouldn't be on the forums, they are probably watching "All My Children" or playing Call of Duty. |

It's not about understanding the message, it's about the impression one is left with when reading something that resembles a child's text message. I've never understood people that white knight for lazy posters. It's not difficult to write properly. I'm speaking for myself here, but I find it easier to read posts rather than decipher them. |

LOL ...what?
That's what I said. I asked him to add "could of and would of" to his commonly misspelled words. Not the other way around.

There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. However, about 2,000 of those languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers.
The most popular language in the world is Mandarin Chinese. There are 1,213,000,000 people in the world that speak that language. |

For me its mostly the annoyance of stopping a discussion because someone was a jerk.
If someone is talking and says, "I wish I are a fish, so I could swim around all day" and then someone else says "You wish you were a fish." or some other conversation stopper. Usually I want to punch that person in the face. First for disrepecting the original speaker and secondly, for being a jerk and stopping the conversation. |
