    Speak for yourself.

    I am actually loosing weight.

    By that I mean I am making the stored triglycerides in my fat cells looser by way of a calorie deficit created by way of a hypocaloric diet and exercise resulting in their release from adipose tissue and their transformation through lipolysis into free fatty acids and glycerol.

    Something I plan on telling my boyfriend this week:

    "You had me at the correct usage of 'you're.'"

    haha


    This is definitely me...When I am chatting with someone and they don't know the proper use/spelling of words I cringe and it's hard to keep communicating with them...It may sound terrible but it's just the way I am...I am pretty laid back but when it comes to this I am anal...lol

    ETA: But I am not the type to correct them on it though...I am NOT the grammar police!!

    In addition to the grammar mistakes you are pointing out and are annoying......maybe learning to spell would be good too.

    what drives me insane is the way some english as from England spell. I could sit here all day corrcting their grammar, it just does my head in. Pity i don't get paid for corrrecting grammar mistakes. lol.

    I am shocked by your ignorance.

    I second your comment bm99. This level of verbal diarrhoea shocks me at times.

    I as well agree!! That's just insulting. We aren't talking different culture barriers, we are talking dumb azzes that just don't know the proper way to use words. The Engish... as in England, as you put it, speak in a more proper form than we ever will. just because they use 'u' in a lot of words, doesn't make them wrong!
    I personally find it super attractive when a man knows how to spell and use the English language correctly!

    When I was a kid my father pay me 5 cents for every grammar mistake I could find in the newspaper.... my mother for several reasons hated that he did that. BTW I grew up speaking Spanish.

    Okay, yes, it is annoying to read grammatical errors, and yes it is irritating to have to decipher what someone is trying to say, but seriously...not everyone can be perfect at everything. Those people who can't spell, don't understand the grammar rules, are too busy to worry about it, or just plain don't care have other God-given talents and gifts to fulfill their purpose in life. And having other people harp on them about their grammar and spelling isn't going to change the fact that God didn't put them on this earth to practice proper grammar. He has much bigger plans for them!

    Not too concerned on social media but went a little crazy over repeated spelling mistakes on CNN's news feeds this past week! The best one was:

    "Gibbs to meet TOP-SEEDED Serena at Bank of West"

    :noway:

    I am shocked by your ignorance.

    I do believe English is spelled with a capital "e" every time. It's not like earth, which can be "earth" if you're talking about the soil or "Earth" if you're talking about the planet. Additionally, "some english" doesn't express a complete thought. Does this mean the language? The people?

    Second, before you criticize people for their grammar, the first person pronoun is "I" not "i" and sentences should begin with capital letters.

    Third, where does the English language come from, if not from England?
