"There" indicates location, "their" indicates posession and "they're" indicates contraction (of 'They Are'). Repeat that 1,000 times and you will be on your way to grammatical glory!

don't expect professionalism from this board

this place is full of high school drop-outs and college kids or people working at McDonald's

you can count on one hand the people wth an MBA degree here probably

Your write, it's much more anoying when native speakers do it. Non-native speakers do it all the time, but than it's understandble, sometimes evan enjoyible.

Thus:

Let Their Be Engrish!

LOL That's funny. I try to keep my grammar in check but we all slip up at times.

CDSmith 03-18-2008 08:01 AM

Okay, now do "to, too, two"

After that, I have a serious bitch in the hopper about people's inability to spell "Probably".... prolly, probly, probally...

Don't even get me started with idiots who say "Libary" instead of library. *bitchslap*

I often use "prolly", I guess that's an abbreviation, quite common on forums etc...

EDIT: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=prolly

Shortened version of "probably". Typically used in online conversations, although REALLY lazy people have started using it in verbal conversations as well...

Web-slang abbreviation of "probably". Used extensively in forums and instant messsaging worldwide.

Ha, wait until the current generation begins to speak and write narratives as it texts...

I'm with PBJohn; so bad I edit my own IMs... I still feel we are building long-term credibility every time we are composing an email or a thread/post...

On another note, I was on ICQ with an EU Sponsor yesterday with excellent written skills who preferred ICQ to the phone - he told me he learned to write in English on GFY but his verbal skills were not as accomplished - best validation of GFY I have heard in a while :thumbsup

And for those of you for whom English is not your native language... Don't ever apologize for your English language skills - they are almost guaranteed to be superior to the average American's foreign language proficiency...

The best way to legitimize laziness and stupidity is to enter it into urbandictionary and pass it off as real.

Lol you can't hide from the grammar police!

DWB 03-18-2008 08:58 AM

Your and You're is another.


But even though I know the difference of all of this, I still screw up because I type much faster than I can process and do not check it.

Aye aye Sir! :thumbsup

That must be the reason why some native english speakers don't recognize what's superior and what's not. :error

I understand there are a lot of non-native English speakers on this board and it's not their fault. Then again, they're probably misusing the words less than those on here who speak English natively.
