everone misspells or makes a typo from time to time but as far as i'm concerned - if you come in here and your posts show that it's pretty obvious you are a grade 2 dropout, most people will ignore your posts - after pointing out how pathetic they are. i dont know why people insist on celebrating their illiteracy. |

Just realize something, and I'm trying to be nice here. On most message boards, a lot of people have bad habits of skipping over longer posts. If your post is one giant run-on with no punctuation, coupled with bad spelling and grammar, almost no one will read it. Most intelligent people who could offer you honest feedback on what you want to know are going to take one look at the post and click the back button on thier browser. Clean it up a little bit. Hell, cut it and paste it into Word if you need to.
Courtesy to your reader is the greatest thing you can ever have if you want your material to be read, whether it be a simple INTERNETz post or a manuscript. Speaking of which, I hope you're not planning on sending in your script with grammar like that. It's hard enough to get people to look at them as it is. Ask Roderick, he could tell you.

i read the long posts if they are interest to me .. i wont read a post written in txtspeak or stupid slang. or posts written by an illiterate. i think before you start posting on a public internet forum .. learn how to spell for christs sakes. your dumb ass will say nothing of intelligence so why will i want to read it if you cant spell simple words ? |

I was waiting for that... :)
Grammatical errors and misspellings are one of the best ways to get your script/story/poetry, ANYTHING written really, in the dump. I have been doing a ton of research lately on getting published and everythignout there lists this as one of the top things to consider. If you can't write clearly, then you aren't much of a writer. you may be a hell of a story teller, but they dont get published. Spoken word is very hard to print.

I don't get the "Once a man was being followed by a truck..." part though. I don't really understand the grammar nazis to be honest, you're not writing a book here. I mean everyone here must mispronounce a few words in their vocabulary, but you don't have people screaming "It's mis-cha-vous not mis-chee-vee-us you dolt!!!!!111" at you. I'm a bartender in a restaurant and I can't even say worcestershire sauce so I just say "worster". Everyone KNOWS what I'm talking about and if people don't like it they can bite me :D |
