Though I don't know for sure who speaks English as their native tongue, it certainly seems to me that it's the natives who are sloppy.
Who cares, some say. Well, when you're trying to combine me of your understanding of "the principals of googles algrythm", it does matter whether or not you sound like you know anything. Even if it's not business, something silly like politics, if you criticize "Jon Mcann" people ignore you because it appears that you don't know what you're talking about. It's amazing how often in political posts people don't even get the names right. Why would I believe you know anything about "Romeny" if you don't even know his name?For historical display only.

I was thinking that people that make these mistakes also often lack elocution, so they often write as they say it.
Although strangely, the Scots in here don't write "I should a..." so, maybe it's simply education.
Or education and elocution.

the funny part is that nobel prize winners aren't any better at grammar than the rest of us. They just paid people to edit THEIR shit ;)
I'll admit some grammar issues that are constantly repeated wrong bug me a bit too, but when people call people out on it to try to strengthen their position in an argument is pretty sad--so that should be noted here as well.webmaster at pimproll dot comComment

Bad grammar doesn't bother me in the least. Your spelling isn't an exact sign of your success since plenty of successful people are bad spellers. The content of what you say is what matters.
I had this same conversation with my girlfriend recently. She's a complete grammar Nazi and feels that if you misspell anything in a debate then you completely lose the debate. As far as she's concerned you could be the president of the USA speaking to a 10 yr child and if you misspell a single word then the child wins the debate. I find that level of grammar Nazism to be stupid.
I speak fluent English, Italian and can get by in Spanish. I was born in the US but technically Italian was my 1st language and I still sometimes think in Italian and then translate to English. But for the most part I just think and speak in English since I am actually American.
I would rather be a bad speller but speak 3 languages well than a great speller that only speaks 1 language.Comment

exactly, as long as you are communicating your point across clearly grammar and spelling are pretty moot--not to mention both those are constantly evolving as language always has. If perfect grammar and spelling were that important editors would be getting all the credit for their brilliance rather than the authors. ;)Bad grammar doesn't bother me in the least.

This has stuck in my head since school. I had a teacher that had a poster of the words "a lot" on a parking lot. The caption said, "'A lot' is two words; you should be able to drive a car between them."
I noticed my 10 year old write them as one word in a school assignment. I told him about the poster and caption, and he's written it correctly ever since.Online strip gaming with sexy gamer girls

Another thread reminded me of probably my biggest pet peeve, people using the 's when it is not possessive. Like "I am going to visit the website's." "I am going to buy some apple's."
I was thinking of the ESL thing after reading this thread. We don't want to scare away people whose first language is not English. If it is obvious they are ESL then a typo doesn't bother me. It's when people who obviously grew up speaking English make basic mistakes constantly that it drives me crazy and I wonder what went wrong.Comment

Tell that to Dan Quayle.
Six years out of office with two failed presidential bids now behind him, ex Vice President Quayle still ranks as America’s favorite dumb politician because of what happened in Trenton on June 15, 1992.
That’s the day, you probably recall, a Trenton sixth grader had to teach the Vice President of the United States that potato is not spelled with an e on the end.Comment

Agreed! And why are there so many posters who forget the basic rules of semicolon usage? Unlettered Barbarians! It is abundantly clear that one needs to separate two sentences where there is an absence of a conjunction with this device, yet one repeatedly is forced to endure sentences wherein the semicolon is not properly employed! Philistines! Surely the sight of your fellow posters writhing in the agony induced by your poor grammar will compel you to mend your ways. I certainly hope so; however, he that lives upon hope will die fasting.Comment

I totally agree with you. The worst part is that most of the stupid mistakes made here, are made by people with English as their first (and most likely only) language.Another thread reminded me of probably my biggest pet peeve, people using the 's when it is not possessive. Like "I am going to visit the website's." "I am going to buy some apple's."

The misuse of "then" and "than" are probably the mistakes, I see on GFY almost daily.
With ESL people, you might get something like a wrong tense or bad use of a preposition, but again that is understandable, as most of us did not grow up writing in English. The mistakes that we see here every day; are most likely from English speakers that just can“t be bothered to spell right.

Names are the worst, if someone can't spell a name properly and they are trying to make a point, then I just can't take them seriously.
The others which I find funny are people ranting about something and gets to a point where they resort to things like "fuck of, you fuckin retord" I just laugh at them.
Part of the problem with English is The amount of accents and slang we have in the UK, Canada, US and Australia, South African English speakers, and all the other English first language nations. Different spelling in each country aswell.
Colour and Color just being one of them, Herbs being Herbs in the UK and Australia but Erbs in Canada and the US.
I used to work with people from eastern Europe and lots of them spoke good English, I noticed all of them were taught "proper" English and were shocked at all the slang etc.
I also worked with a guy from Madrid and he told me there is no slang in Spanish, not 100% that is true but if it is then I can understand how much easier Spanish must be in that respect.
I was also taught German at school and although I'm not fluent I found it extremely easy to learn because of the structure of the language made it easier for me.
I think English although it is quite an easy language to learn, has too many variants, slangs, and differences and that is where all the bad grammar comes from.
Also, English Speakers tend to be lazy with their language and that is where some problems come from aswell I think.Last edited by Si; 02-03-2012, 07:38 AM.Comment
