Grammar

Post Reply New Topic

Hey,

How much trouble do you all have in mix ups in grammar when posting?

I see it here now and again.

I mix up homonyms, and miss writing words where a word should go-- a hole in the sentence. Incomplete punctuations, contractions, etc.

The funny thing is that it doesn't matter how much it is proofread at the time, for the most part the error goes unnoticed.

It takes a fresh look at it later, when the thought is cleared, to see this only then,.... or is it than :lol:

Do you think this is related or correlated with ADHD/ AS?

When I see impeccable grammar, is it due to being successfuly proofread, maybe even several times?

Of course there are exceptions.

Trouble or no trouble for you?

I found 3 missing words when I proofread this.

As long as I can get my point across, I really don't pay much attention to grammar. Sometimes it just comes naturally.

I have some trouble with grammar now that I am chronically sleep-deprived. Before - well, my mom started asking me to proofread and give suggestions for her college papers when I was in fifth grade. Language is my primary special interest though, so that's something to keep in mind

I also struggle with spelling and grammar and punctuation. I post from my phone that helps me out a lot. It can also hinder me as well. If left completely up to me I would miss spell punctuation. But I do rely on it is bit to much. If I know how to spell it I will not let my phone assist me and when I do need it I will stare at the word for a sec to try to learn it.

I don't normally have any problem with grammer. I am quite good with writing. It's not really an Aspie thing - when I read sites like Yahoo Answers or something, people write terribly! And it's not slang - it's just general mistakes. I always like to make sure my posts are written correctly when posting on the internet, because when I'm reading something that's not got proper spelling, punctuation and grammer, I find it really hard to even get the gist of the message.

I don't make a lot of grammar mistakes, although I'm not sure on this site because English is not my first language.

I don't represent the grammar police or anything but what does get to me is that text speak is now turning up on comments pages on websites and also forums now.

Dis, dat, m8 etc.

It takes an old person like me twice as long to read things nowadays.

I've never had any problems with grammar; language is one of the things that comes very easily to me.

Dysgraphia/Dyslexia/Speech disorders/ADD all are probably more common among ASD people.

Although I may have grammar mistakes since my first language is not English, I have difficulties expressing myself in my native language too. It's not the grammar, but putting my thoughts into words and sentences, finding the most appropriate words and expressions that I find extremely difficult. I takes ages to me to form sentences that actually make sense (I hope). After that I proof-read, edit for style endlessly before I post. Fresh reading the text always shows a couple of grammar mistakes, I have to force myself to leave them there.

I don't have any problems with grammar, though I do occasionally miss words or letters when I write (I can usually identify and fix them quickly). I sometimes spend hours (literally, not hyperbolically) drafting e-mails before I feel confident they are error-free and ready to send. I've taken a number of editing courses at my university, so I'm now more aware of the very minor errors and infelicities that so often slip through unnoticed.

There are errors in many of the posts above.

I don't know about any of you, but my mom said I had perfect grammar ever since I was a toddler. My mom reinforced that by correcting grammar mistakes people made on TV. Now, I have good grammar and I cringe whenever I hear something that violates grammar too much. Also, I am very interested in writing, not just science and math; I self-published a novella when I was twelve and always love to write stories. Unless I'm doing it wrong and no one has told me about it, good grammar comes naturally and I don't usually proofread. I always thought my good grammar as a toddler had to do with my AS. I was suprised to see that you have trouble with grammar.

...tell me if I messed up this post, or I'll feel like an idiot!

I hate grammar

My grammar is excellent in my head, but I often make major typos, such as missing out a word.
