Why the bad grammar and short posts?

Post Reply New Topic

Because I write at a 9th Grade level. Pretty much, like the real Mick Avory, I'm a drummer, not a writer. Don't you all start feeling sorry for me, now. That's the last thing, that I need. I've seen topics about spelling, grammar, and elaboration, that convey the opposite message, and I thought that it would be interesting, to see it, from the other side. I'm all tired out, from posting this. This is a long post, for me.

short posts are good

I like short posts too. My use of grammar is a bit unusual.

My short post.

I don't care how long posts are, as long as they don't have bad grammer.

Maybe it's not bad grammar. Maybe my accent shows up, in my posts.

I've seen far worse grammar on this website.

My posts are known to be very short, I even think some of my shortest ones are to wordy

As long as people can understand what your posts are saying, it doesn't matter. Grammar Nazis tend to obsess over the little details of a person's post so much that they actually miss what they're trying to say.

And yeah, sometimes the shortest posts are the best. Nobody likes to read a huge wall of text.

Your comments have more commas than are commonly considered correct, Cockney, but it's mostly a stylistic thing. It reads like you're speaking ordinarily but with a lot of pauses.

Why, they're short posts!

Grammar and spelling is important to me, but seeing as I have trouble with both myself due to Dyslexia, I do not nit pick someone else.

Unless they're misspelling an insult to someone's intelligence. That irks me.

I don't think anyone's feeling sorry for you.

Ok, I am a bit of a grammar/spelling Nazi, but I understand that some misspellings are stylistic, and probably a bit better since they show that person's voice better.
I don't think there's a reason to mistake "your" and "you're" though.
And sometimes you're just lazy with dumb fingers and don't give a crap if your spelling is off. XD

My posts tend to use bad grammar, but they're actually too long and wordy rather than short. I envy people who can get their ideas across in a minimal amount of words.
