RedM Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 With reference to people who feel that getting their poor spelling and grammar commented on is "pointless" and "boring" I just have to ask how you got on at school? Did you perhaps not go? That would explain the appalling standards on here. What do you do when people correct you at work? Have a hissy-fit and moan that it's boring? Stop being so damn lazy.

Guest Phillw454 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I dont think its so much lazyness as simple cant spell!! I got a B in my engrish GCSE's a few years back and i know i cant spell! It really doesnt seem that bad on here to other forums i could direct you to where every other post is txt language. I mean sure we dont use commas and always capital letters but it doesnt bother me that much as long as i can read it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was so lame! I personally (can not speak for others) get on really well at work as at work I do become professional, after all in REAL life it matters. As for school I do think that is a need to know basis. Personally I done fantastic at school. To judge people based on internet chat is childish, and to actually judge a persons upbringing is even more childish. However we have a lot of users that use Firefox, I do believe this has a spell check built in. I wonder how many people actually are as good as they say they are.

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Also, you need to consider another factor to the spelling on this forum. I'm always multi-tasking whilst reading the threads. I just can't devote my full attention to spelling. Its a compromise between spelling, quantity and quality. looking over my shoulder for the boss is a prime example of this. TV, work, music, porn, copulation, etc,.. is all done during my browsing time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I think alot of spelling mistakes are made due to typing errors. At the end of the day this is a car forum, about cars. Its not open university , is it . Stop the snobby " I can spell better than you " Bullshit for Gods sake, as long as you can tell what somebody means whats it matter.

Sorry didn't realise it was a prerequisite to spell correctly before you can post on this forum. Also concerning the "hissy-fit" nah i wouldn't do that i'd just smack the cnut zero points please!

Pixelfill Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Why does everyone get so defensive about their poor grammar and spelling? If you are that upset about people pointing it out, do something about it. just IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are that upset about people pointing it out, do something about it. just IMHO You are right on this one mate! It's a shame to cripple english language like this by using txt style or by making such simple grammar mistakes. Some of forum members forgot, how lucky they are to know almost universal language and yet they cannot manage to keep it clear of mistakes (mostly because of lazyness...)
