The problem is that you are judged by the way you present yourself - and given the medium, the only way people can get a good understanding for one another is essentially via the written word.



dr_"feel free to make as many spelling mistakes as you like - but don't be surprised if I think you're an illiterate inbred"_sarcasm.

 

Who are we to judge people?...

Especially off of something as insignificant as a post off a forum.

I am not going to base my views about someone and judge them negatively just because they made a typo or because they misspelled a word. We do not know what type of problems they have. Like this Thread: This person is deaf. It's a shame he had to let the board know his situation so you guys could stop flamming him.
Or the person can have some type of learning disorder.

Even if the person didn't graduate from HS or get his GED, are you going to think lowly of him? So, it makes you better than everyone else because you are fortunate enough to know how to read and write? or spell better than someone else?


dr_"I have to put something in the middle of here to make me feel better even though it looks silly"_sarcasm.

 

Yeah, but when people use their grammar shittily in posts, it makes them seem MUCH less intelligent.

and improper use of "to too and two" or "there, they're and their" just indicates that the "poaster" is under the age of 15

 

Judge? Don't get so paranoid. When someone points out a spelling or grammar error to a fellow member, it can come off as rude, but the spelling offender should be open to their mistake(s), and embrace it as education.

 

redrims that post was why i made this post. now he thinks all the guys that flamed him are ********... so it goes both way's. BTW emb = eat my *****

 

i still like enough mother bitches.

 

hehe that one is good too

 

Finally!

It was driving me crazy not knowing what that meant!!

As far as correct grammar/spelling goes...

I was an English major in college, and currently I'm a reading teacher. And guess what...sometimes I miss my mistakes, too. We are all human.

Yes, sometimes other folks' persistent and obvious errors grate on my nerves, but I've learned to read past a lot of that stuff just so I can get the meaning of the message, which is a hell of a lot more important than the difference between "to/two/too."

And the person who mentioned learning disabilities is absolutely correct...you never know who might have issues with that.

We all need to get over ourselves.

 

Like I said before in my above post...everyone "should embrace it as education."

 

Spelling and grammar **** really pisses me off too for some reason, but I don't really give two ***** so I just keep my trap closed. By the time I take the time to make a post about it I can usually figure out what the **** they're trying to say.

 

I come to this forum to be educated about cars not english...

This is a Mazda forum, right?

 

Agreed, but learning proper grammar and spelling would be a bonus.

 

Have you been typing into Microsoft Word or what? Your typing skills are improving

 

Paraphrasing a famous quote, are your typing problems both caused and solved by alcohol?

Let's see if we can find that translator pic around here...

 

I have that pic on my computer.. too bad damn forum won't let me UPLOAD things...
