dperry Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Is it just me or is there a really bad new trend of internet forum users to not give a crap whether or not they spell correctly? I've noticed way too many new people here who just can't seem to care whether or not their posts are intelligable. I mean, some peoples' posts are so bad, I don't even want to bother to read and decypher them. Maybe It's the fault of too many mobile phone posters, but that is no excuse. If you want to be taken seriously, please take the time to spell your posts correctly, and learn how to use punctuation. Notice how I use a period to end each statement, and a question mark to end each question? Commas are your friends, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm still trying to learn this typing thing. Plus add the touchscreen and BAM you got a typo king here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It bothers me also Dperry, but my experience has been that vendiscuss has far fewer of those problems than other websites or forums. I'm studying for the Gmat; I'm constantly noticing grammatical errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using Tapatalk for Android. Agreed, but spellcheck does not fix all things. Example, improper use of words like their instead of there.

dpvnc Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Truthfully I do not think I could post using my phone. When texting it has an automatic fill feature that drives me insane. That maybe some of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have trouble reading the post, I just move on to the next one because it probably isn't worth replying to. The spell check feature should be used to spare us all but they are too lazy or don't know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mage Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I know my spelling used to be atrocious. I loves me the spell-check. (Poor grammar is okay if it is intentional.) I don't have a problem with relaxed English, but some people actually weaken themselves with their language skills. If you cannot communicate properly, you cannot convey or receive ideas and concepts. Now I have started texting quite a bit over the past few years, but not really before that. I do understand most of the shorthand and slang used for texting, and understand why. I have decided that if I am going to text, it is going to be full English, not shorthand. I will say that learning a good form of shorthand is very beneficial for taking notes. Sent from my computer using a freak'n keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
