What about the english langauge

[Knowledged_one]

After posting here for several months, i have noticed that hardly anyone uses semblance of english. I'm not talking about misspelled words here im talking about the basic lack of coherent thought. Most people use slang or abbreviations because it is shorter. However the constant posts with horrible english have finally gotten to me. I'm not calling these people stupid, but do you even pay attention when typing, i mean do you people actually write things for work/school this way, because if you do the nation is in big trouble.
Does anyone else have any feelings about this?
Can anyone make a pseudo-Ron and Fez eboincs dictionary for those of us who think coherent thoughts?

I love his, "why me?!?! Why must I be the only one who cares?!?" tone...

Was this post clear enough for you? Or was there too much "slang" in it for you?

People who bring up the lack of Grammar here are ALWAYS picked on.

I'm with Knowledged One. If you type like a MONGOLOID, I FUCKING IGNORE YOUR IGNORANT ASS.

Use a period and commas every now and then. Some people type a 6 line run on sentence, and it's annoying.

You have the right to type whatever you want, but I also have the right to call you an illiterate feeb, and start to hate your posts.

And Typos and misspellings are different. They happen. But how about checking what yo types again to make sure your point gets across. If not, why type it in the 1st place?

I'm an editor and proofreader and sometimes bad grammar gets to me. I'll only tool on someone if they're a friend and if bad grammar irks them as well (*cough* skidmark *cough*). Otherwise, I'm "off duty" when I post.

But people, reading your post before replying couldn't hurt!

EDIT: Oh! And another thing-- openly complaining about other people's use of grammar only opens you up to scrutiny and tooling. Better make use of that edit button, Mr. Man!

Are you listening Sheepy???!!! I agree that since this is a written word oriented medium, people should try harder to use proper English and grammar in order to better get their points across. It can only help. That said, I'm not losing sleep over it.

Sheepy gets a pass. He's a "made" poster, if you get my drift (he's in "waste management").

See, I made a little joke there.

yeah way to go guys way to pick out me forgetting to use a word in my post. But if you read it i mainly wrote about the lack of any coherent thoughts by the people. Obviously you read it and were able to understand the gist of what i was saying but Dan if you feel the need go ahead, and while you are at it go ahead and critique everyone of my posts. Because i for sure did not single anyone out for criticism, just posted my thoughts on a subject. You guys sure are good at responding, oh no wait you didnt respond you chose to use sarcasm for the most part. However, the thing with sarcasm is it should at least be funny

As previously mentioned, I was an English major in college and poor grammar, etc. bugs me as well, but I'm more than used to it. My point (as well as Dan's, I presume) was that if one is going to admonish others for misspellings, poor grammar, and a lack of coherency, then a post doing so should be beyond reproach.

Yeah, use your edit button Knowledged_One. Your no better at writing I see. What should of been another sentence was ended with a comma.

It is easy to pick on other people, but you need re-edit your own post.
