Apparently I am a real geek because in an attempt to convert this I quickly recognized that you are 3 bits short. I guess that is the binary example of poor grammar?

What does this mean in binary? Havn't brushed up lately. Or should I say "I haven't brushed up lately?"
I have no idea!! I saw that the OP had binary in his user name. This was my attempt to be a smart *kitten*. I'm not smart enough for this thread!0 -
Good english has went :yawn:0

I also know some people think grammar isn't important at all, or worse, used as a tool to make people feel poorly about themselves.
Should the person who authored the sentence above really be complaining about grammar?0 -
What about my terrible spelling, MFP doesn't have spell check and the computer does not allow me to completely think on my own anymore!0

Loving grammar and being a nazi about it are two different things. I would never correct someone other than my children.0

I love this quote:
"Good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. In blog posts, on Facebook statuses, in e-mails, and on company websites, your words are all you have. They are a projection of you in your physical absence. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can't tell the difference between their, there, and they're."
Their's a difference??

Proper punctuation is important as well. It's the difference between helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse; and helping helping your Uncle jack-off a horse.0

People aren't applying for a job on here. So what, some don't spell well. There may be a reason. They just want to lose weight like the rest of us not for you to correct their grammar. You probably right about jobs, but jobs discriminate against fat people too. If you don't understand them just move on. Good grief!0

Considering the job is to write manuals, I think proper grammar is a proper job requirement.
My 19'year old took a writing class in college last semester. It was just a basic freshmen class. In the class they took a grammar quiz that gave them results for potential salary.
The quiz was based on a study that cited that people with better grammar end up getting higher paying jobs.0 -

It's not nice to talk like that, even in binary code.
How were you able to translate this malformed binary? When I wrote this in binary, it showed up in the finished comment as "how were yo". Then when I clicked edit, the full binary sentence was there.
p.s. I just read all of the comments. I now know about the poor little kittens. :sad:0 -
I cringe when people ignore punctuation, mispronounce simple words or insert extra words while reading out loud.
I want to ask them, "do you have any comprehension of the text you just read? Thanks to your eloquence, I certainly don't."0 -

I do add or change words when I read.
It's part of my dyslexia. Kinda annoying sometimes. But I usually have excellent comprehension.
Unless I pre read the passage twice before reading it out load. I can usually get all the correct words in that case. When I was in grade school, I would count the kids ahead of me and count the paragraphs to get to what mine would be, then read and reread it until it was my turn. So I would read the correct words the correct way.
But then have no idea what the text was about because I missed all the paragraphs the other kids read.0 -
well, the majority of the time I'm typing on my phone so if you were my friend you'd delete me. Not worried.
