Post quality

If it is just me noticing this please tell me but does it seem like there is a solid increase of posts that make you scratch your head? Posts that you have to read multiple times to try and understand what the poster is trying to say. Whether it be due to blatant lack of punctuation leaving multiple sentences jammed together, or just words connected without even spaces.

I assume it is due to people posting from iphones or blackberries but I just wanted to see if anyone has been noticing this. If you want some examples I can grab them

 

here,here.....make it a sticky!!!


sometimes man...some people just wanna use a "shortcut word", or abbreviation, or whatever.......fine by me.

 

I've seen it, and I wish there was such a job as "Interweb Copy-editor." I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I post from my iPhone all the time and only a few times have I made any careless mistakes. It just has to do with laziness is all. Most people don't want to take the time to punctuate or check themselves. Also, people tend to write the way they speak. And that's even worse.

 

I blame the American education system and the popular opinion that reading, grammar, and spelling are annoyances. I either go to one extreme, correcting their post, or the other extreme, where I ignore them. I'm not asking for perfect, but run-on sentances, a certain modicum of spelling, and just a wee bit of grammar is not hard!

Oh, by the way,

WHERE'S YOUR QUESTION MARK, YOU TARD??

haha its not bad grammar or spelling mistakes that bothers me, its having to read a post 5 times over again to actualy understand what the person is trying to say. There are 2 people on her who if i see post i stay away from the thread. If you want an example pm so i don't publically call anyone out haha

haha no im just kidding. sometime when i type i just let it spew from my head and don't reread it and post then turn around and edit.

 

The difference between good grammar and bad grammar.

I helped my uncle, Jack, off the horse.

and

I helped my uncle jack-off the horse.

 

Nice, but it should be:

I helped my uncle Jack get off the horse.

HEIL! HEIL!

 

Grammar has no bearing on how your sentence reads. It is up to the reader to interpret your sentence.

 

Example:
