Yes, I make sure that my grammar and spelling is perfect (or close to it). It's a petpev of mine, and I often find myself saying what's wrong in other people's grammar (it's an obsession, too).

I try my best to keep my grammar as perfect as possible on every website, on IM's (even though my friends make fun of me for that) and in real life

I try to use good grammar at all times.

Bad grammar drives me crazy. I can let little things go by, like putting the wrong kind of 'your', although, if it's on MSN, I will correct them most the time.

But yes. When people type like
'HeY. How R U? I M Doin GURD'
Makes me want to punch babies in the face It really pisses me off.

I could kill for uppercase letters. I hate it when people never use them.

Gabri July 27th, 2009 6:54 AM

I don't like bad grammar simply because it takes me lots of time trying to understand what people say. So yeah, I always try to use good grammar.

Though I'm not a grammarian, I dislike poor grammar and poor spelling.

Valo July 27th, 2009 7:41 AM

I have some kind of OCD with grammar, I cannot stand things without capitals where they should be. I just freak out.

I tend to be extremely nitpicky about grammar. XD; I can usually spot errors and stuff when reading other peoples' writing, but I don't say anything to them; I wouldn't want people to think I was being big-headed or something. x_x; Engrish amuses me, however, probably in the same way that my attempts at writing in a foreign language would amuse a native speaker. XD

With chatspeak and stuff, I can tolerate 'lol', 'brb' etc., though I tend to find that people come across as less intelligent when they use chatspeak the whole time. Sometimes I'll use it myself, but only to goof around. XD

EmeraldSky July 27th, 2009 2:45 PM

I'm the same way--I tend to use chatspeak more when I'm being silly, but any other time, and I'm the human spell check

Haha, first reading this topic, I noticed that immediately. I was hoping someone would catch on to that as I was scrolling down, then finally we had a winner! :)

I always try my best for the right grammar. I think what my biggest fault though is trying to use the semi-colon when it isn't necessary.

I try to use good grammar, though english is not my mother tongue. But I improved a lot since I am active here. :D

DARKSHADE January 12th, 2010 10:15 AM

I try, but when I'm in a rush I usually make a mistake just a typo or a capital letter or something stupid like that.

but I cant stand bad grammar!!!

Sammi January 12th, 2010 11:00 AM

I try to make sure my grammar is correct in everything I post. I'm not perfect, though, so sometimes it probably doesn't look good. XD;

Despite giving me something to do, I have to ask... What's up with all the thread revival lately? XD

Threads older than a month old are considered to be dead. Replying to them would mean that you're reviving them, which isn't allowed. Be careful when replying to threads, Darkshade. Make sure that the last reply was within a month's time frame and you won't have this problem again. As for this thread, the last reply made was on July 28th, 2009, which is well over a month. :(
