    Default Coherent Sentences

    I don't know about everyone else but I enjoy being able to understand what someone is saying when I read their post. Incoherent sentences drive me... something. I guess BONKERS is the word...

    Here is a prime example of what I'm ranting about:

    "if you want I modify you the images you say which to me and I will make it"

    Is that a scrambled word game or what? I don't get it.

    Topic: What in the name of wholy jeans are people learning in school these days? Is grammar really not that important or do I just suffer from OCD?

    Maybe people just don't proof read anymore. I empathize with you though. It drives me crazy.

    Well, whatever it is, it obviously isn't enough to pass those "no Child left behind" tests. Not that I consider those as acceptable standards of testing for intellegence, promise, or any worth at all. Public schools are FTL.

    It is most likely due to the fact that people become rushed or otherwise care little to check back on that which they have written. Their thought process could be running ahead of their fingers as they type, which I know happens to me from to time.

    Or they are simply lazy or care little for the notion that their posts may not be understandable to everyone else.

    I understand with cellphones why people use text speak - it can be a real pain in the ass to spell eveything out fully - but for some reason we have this idea in the world that because something is on the internet, it doesn't have to conform to the rules.

    It really pisses me off when people use improper grammar anywhere, even MSN.

    I can tolerate the whole you = u, and too = 2 but there's a point where it gets to be too extreme. All of us are old enough to have gone to several years of grammar class, so unless if English is not your native language, just stop being so lazy. It isn't that hard to capitalize and type out words fully.

    I lose respect when people start saying "ur".

    Those kind of posts - the kind that was described in the first post - just makes me feel really dizzy or disoriented when I try to read them. I can't wrap my brain around it and I just give up. Anybody who types like u, 2, lol, etc ;P all seem the same to me, for some reason. I can't tell them apart.

    I really think it is funny that people in a forum think that you have to type like you're filling out a job application when posting to a frickin thread. Also very few people i know are language nazi's and only type in 'proper structure' when they're doing something in a professional capacity. i highly doubt my employer or a future employer will hire or not hire me due to a blasé attitude toward typing on a FORUM .
    Its repugnant to me to see people say that when you say "ur" (or something) that they will think that the person is mentally deficient, or they loose respect for them, or whatever the complex it is that swells up the head and makes that person look like a great big jerk . I can't stand that mentality . To me it makes the person saying that just as juvenile as the person they are complaining about .

    Peace out
