Grammar type?

Grammar type?

What exactly are you asking? Do you want to know I type in regular English or if I use l33t speak? Please clarify.
 
Sorry forgot the poll.

Mod note: Avoid bypassing the character limit in this area, please.

I'm very proper when it comes to spelling. Allthough, since i'm from Sweden (and Swedish is my native tongue), I sometimes slip up on the grammar, like using "was" and "were" when it's supposed to be used. Simple mistakes, you know

I'm fairly confident in my spelling and typing, and at times people have said that i probably lie about being from Sweden (but why would anyone lie about that? It's like being proud that you have split ends) - I take it like a compliment =D

Proper~Hey Mark.What's up?

A space does come after full stop (or period) you know.

I can't choose either option in the poll because they're both wrong. I always type to my best ability but I sometimes fail to notice mistakes until a few days after.
 
I don't mind other people lazily typing to me, it's nothing that bothered me in the past. But if there's one thing I take pride in the most, it's making sure my grammar etiquette is substantial.
 
i try and be as proper as i can :)
 
I'll use proper grammar, but it doesn't annoy me if others don't unless they go like: glad 2 c u 2
 
I write the Rellyms way, 'cause most of the time it's like this or lyke thiz, but not lyke iz aint gotz no ejucachion.
 
I have to ask, though (all you English speakers)... when people say "Use correct grammar!" do they mean the ACTUAL grammar or just the spelling? It always confuses me. Because people seem to refer to grammar as "lulz I lyke wat u did thar" and not the spelling... because the grammar seems correct to me

You're probably right. When a lot of people say 'grammar' they probably mean 'syntax' or, as you've said, spelling and grammar.

I feel ashamed to be a native English speaker when people who speak English as a second language are far more grammatically correct and have better spelling than native speakers. ._.
 
Although my grammar is not perfect, at least I put some effort into it. As for my spelling, again, it's not perfect. I do have a bit of trouble spelling long or complex words.

I do agree with Candace's statement where people get spelling and grammar mixed up. Although, I wouldn't consider lulz a word.

This.

But I chose the 'Proper' option because I understood what you were trying to say. I do, however, use improper grammar from time to time. I'm usually aware of this though, and I only do it if I'm too lazy to type properly, I'm trying to be funny, or I think it looks better. For example, I usually use an apostrophe to quote something rather than quotation marks. It just looks neater, in my opinion.
 
I've been sticking to proper since fourth grade my writing skills or proficient.
