not stupidly written, and not correcting stupid small errors kthxbai (for example, I sometimes get letters mixed up when I typle or preempt myself and type letters before they're due. if i miss them when i look over the message i don't think they should be corrected, it's just pedantic.)
I think grammar is fun. I'm not ashamed to say that, either. Grammar was the only thing I liked about English class.
Grammar must be correct!
I think decent grammar is acceptable on certain occasions.
I like my grammar pink in the middle, but not overdone.
I love the smell of fresh cooked grammar.
Grammar should be burnt to a crisp. Every imperfection must be cooked out of it. Sentence fragment.
I hate bad grammar, I'm always correcting people on msn xD I'm always like 'DONT YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT THEIR, OMFGZ'.
Grammar Nazi's are annoying.

I don't need to explain why I think they're annoying now. :cool:
If you can understand what someone is saying, then I don't see the point in pointing out a grammar mistake when the message is perfectly readable.

Relax, that was just us kidding around. While I don't like people pointing out minor imperfections in the sentences of other people, really bad grammar is one of those things I can't resist giving a verbal slap in the face over.
xD My friend and I will do that all the time for kicks. We correct each other's grammar, but do so with incorrect grammar usage. :)Quote:

To answer the question, I prefer my grammar riddled with errors and incorrect sentence structure. I also like my periods, semi-colons, and apostrophes to be misplaced. In addition, I believe that every sentence should begin and end with a preposition while not conforming to the standards of a language that contradicts itself at every step. The upholders of such ridiculous rules such as those found within the English language should be drawn, quartered, and burned at the stake for their crimes against common sense. Everyone makes mistakes, don't make others feel bad for theirs just because yours was breathing.
i hate all of you grammer nazis!!!! i like mines raw!!!
I make it a point to try and type properly all the time. A long time ago when I would be lazy on the internet, that laziness started to bleed into my work. So, I try to be perpetually proper to keep some consistency.
I tend not to to correct people online though, unless they're just plain using incorrect words. The 'GrammarNazi' commenter on this recent anime blog post is me...
That blogger disrespects the excellence that is Kannagi thus far. He had it coming. Nice one. :DQuote:

im still the only person who said raw....
I prefer my grammar to be better than others' grammar; that's all. =O
I'm not a grammar freak with others, but I try to use the best grammar I know and highly appreciate when others do so as well.
I prefer people to know it, if not use it perfectly all the time.
My pet peeves include good instead of well, then/than mixups, qualifying "unique"*, and irregardless. I usually don't correct them, but they drive me crazy.
*I'm guilty of this one still, but I'm trying to phase it out.
I usually refrain from correcting others, not least because I know I sometimes make mistakes, too. If someone regularly makes the same mistake, I point it out, though.
Could you give me an example of those?Quote:

I'm a big fan of good grammar, even though sometimes mine isn't perfect. I at least try though, which is more than I can say for about 90% of people that play WoW and type like "omgz can u hlp me plz plz cuz i r new".
boornt tu eae creesp.
Medium...I guess...:D
I'm sure my grammar can be wrong sometimes, but I do my best to make sure I write properly. That being said, I hate the English language with a passion. It is fair too complex, and has fair too many contradictions. But I still make the effort.
Also, I try not to correct people even if I have the urge too. I don't want to offend them, or give them the impression I think that they're stupid. :D
What a lovely pyramid.
The votes, you mean? :)
I like mine with a kiss.
