Some people are dyslexic. For some people, English isn't their first language. Some people make typos. Some people just aren't very good at spelling and/or don't care. Bad grammar is something that bugs me from time to time, but I generally find more pressing things to get stressed/judgemental about. :ohwell:

(... and if lose/loose bothers you that much, you might want to stay away from these boards.)

For the record it drives me crazy too! :drinker:

I know there are more pressing problems on our planet, but when I see someone who I can tell that English IS their first language write something like "HELP I AM NOT LOOSING WEIGHT drives me crazy.(Gotta love the ALL CAPS)

-- Of course I understand that many people feel that I am wasting resources just by responding... oh well :drinker:

To be honest, I didn't really ask for an explanation of why people do it, still drives me nuts regardless. And don't worry guys, it's not like it ruins my day when someone does this, so I'm not 'wasting' energy or whateva. Just wondering if anyone else was in the same boat.

I usually disregard posts that are spelled incorrectly. I wouldn't go so far as to put the person down in any way though.

everything drives me crazy.

No, it does not drive me crazy. Because you can still understand, in context, what they mean. And that is all I care about. Correct grammar is nice to read and preferable but if it's wrong I don't care as far as we can communicate. Me knows some french mouth and when me travels to french me will get speaking like this. Like I did with English as well at first.

What annoys me tho are people who are obsessive about those little mistakes and then corrects you and throws that in your face. Yea, I know my English is bad at times, but don't need to correct me and be a **** about it. It's annoying. Ya know...

Geez people! The title of this board is "chit-cat, fun, and games." Loosen up!! (See what I did there...)


ETA: Yes, it drives me crazy. But my job also involves writing and editing, so I guess that's a good thing since it pays the bills.

Dyslexic in the house! I struggle occasionally with spelling. However, I strive to go back over what I wrote to fix my typos. I seem to struggle more when I try to type fast, but when I go back over my writings I can pick up on most of my mistakes.

My brain goes faster than my fingers and I will find that I flip words around, or miss them completely. Sorry can not apologize for a learning disability.

As somebody who has worked as a letter vetter for a national company's complaints department, bad grammar in general concerns me rather than bothers me. I see far too much of a trend towards 'whatever works' and people thinking as long as others know what they are saying, they are right. I guess I just come from an education system where 'near enough' was not acceptable.

I think I just made myself sound like the oldest 26 year old on these boards :S
