    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:

    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 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?

    that is one of my biggest pet peeves people who do the grammar police deal. it really annoys me! of course in my neck of the woods we speak red neck.


    You can speak redneck and still use proper grammar while typing. I am a fluent speaker of all things redneck as well.

    I concur with this statement. Though I do frequently use "y'all". But seeing as that is the correct spelling for the local colloquial term...

    I just love telling people that my bad grammar is because I speak English not American, since most of them haven't been there I can get away with so much :smile:

    You are not "loosing" weight. You are "losing" weight. "Loose" is how your clothes fit when you are successful in this endeavor.

    I see this mistake about 100 times per day, and if I didn't get this off my chest now I was afraid that my head would explode :explode:

    That is all! You may return to what you were doing :heart:

    LMFAO!

    The scary part is that if enough people adopt the incorrect version, wouldn't it by default become the popular "correct" version over time? *shudder* :sad:


    Like "nauseated" and "nauseous." I hate it when people say "I feel nauseous." No, you don't. You're nauseated. So many people misuse it, that it's considered correct to use either one, which makes me crazy.

    English spelling is so erratic that it's no surprise that even native English speakers do it so erratically. "Lose" rhymes with "choose," so I'm neither shocked nor appalled that people write things like "I choose to loose weight." Blame the Great Vowel Shift and don't get your knickers in a twist. :wink:

    In any case, this is a thread for the spelling police, not the grammar police.

    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.

    Your father is a genius.
