Bad Spelling Online

Post Reply New Topic

I always try to have correct spelling and grammar online, along with correct punctuation. Earlier today, I almost typed "their" instead of "there" and nearly had a heart attack. When people don't even try to type correctly, it only makes them look stupid.

i dnt get y ppl tlk lik ths. yhu no how dumb u luk?

I'm only 12, and I get compliments online for my grammar. Can't you just invest a little more time typing like a fluent English speaker?

y u gotta typ lik...oh, forget it. I can't even PRETEND to write like that. Urrgh.

I don't know. I don't know the reasoning behind people writing like that. It's just embarrassing!

I, myself, don't consider myself a member of the Grammar Police, but I do try to keep up my writing style. I love writing and don't see the point of wrecking your sentences that way. Has anyone ever read the book Sleeping Dogs Don't Lay? It's a very good resource for things you may not have noticed before!
