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. 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.
LOL it is supposed to be "could've" and "would've"
"could've" = could have
"would've" = would have |

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.
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. |

I tink u are full o crap and eden if I skew up this sentenance and dont use comas or spall correctly you no whut I are saying.
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 know, I was agreeing with you  |
