HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Is Grammar and spelling online meaningful to you?

The internet is a funny place, it doesn't spell check (well it kinda does, but not always), it doesn't correct your Grammar, it doesn't tell you if you are right or wrong. But yet we are hidden behind a veil of secrecy which doesn't reveal who we are, so we can presuppose whatever type of person we want.

I, personally, think I am some sort of writer. Yet I make some mistakes. Those don't bother me, others do.

We all can't be perfect, but perfect has differing levels. This debate is about people who grew up learning the language, and it doesn't include local dialects. We can debate accents and other language affectations later.

Does someone who should be able to speak perfect English, but doesn't, bother you?

Is Grammar and spelling online meaningful to you?

Yes, it means more than we can comprehend.

Proper grammar, spelling and punctuation are the roadsigns for the reader, at least for me. Aww-ite!

As a nation we dumbing up.. Now we found an excuse.. We think it's cute. Like cigarettes, it's bad for you in the long run.

thebutterflyfx says:

Dipends on the context but in general it bothers me. It is kind of sloppy not to spell check. Since we are all hidden behind that veil of secrecy you mention the language we use is the only thing that gives a clue about the person behind the article, post or comment. And it makes it hard for not english speaking people to learn it the right way!

It immediately lowers creditability with me if someone has bad grammar and/or spelling. I am very picky about my spelling, and I use spell check a LOT!

JamesDoyle says:

Yes I tend to notice spelling mistakes. It breaks my concentration when I am trying to read something that interests me.

Torbjornar says:

Bad grammar and spelling tends to tick me off a lot.

mhosong72 says:

Yes, This is important for me.

nancymaggielee says:

Of course! If someone spells something incorrectly I immediately see it, and then I don't really respect whatever point is trying to be made. I just saw a typo on the Commission Junction sign up form!!! P.S. I just made really sure that I did not make a typo in this little blurb (lol).

worthim says:

I couldn't write cool guitar articles without using grammar and spelling correctly. The key phrases are used by google to resolve what is at the top. So, yes, it's important!

LivingByFaith says:

Yes it is very important.

MaineLobsterMum says:

As long as it is readable, grammatical errors don't bother me, except when people use the wrong spelling of a word that has several versions and one is left to decipher what exactly the writer meant.

Marlenesquidoo says:

Yes, if the grammar isn't right, it is very easy to misunderstand or misinterpret what is being said.

jimcor62 says:

My first language is Spanish and sometimes I feel myself lost because is very difficult to not make mistake.We are suppose to learn English and then I found peolple who grew up learning this language making terrible grammar mistake. Its look that there is another type of English. What about text message spelling? How I'm going to learn if people look at me when I speak correctly and they are speaking a kind of dialects?

WTF U TALKIN BOUT?

AlleyCatsandMutts says:

If the content is great and I mean great, and it is easy to read then spelling and grammer mistakes can be ignored.

exotickitten731 says:

exotic23 says:

For me,Not all the time depends of the statement or the articles you writing some of us are not cared much about the grammar as long as we talk nicely or write a uniqueness and easy to a reader and listener to read and listen.correct me if i am wrong.

roarman says:

waht do yuo maen it deosnt splelcheck?

emarketingcoach says:

nope) unless it's readable)

grahamkcooper says:

While small things like incorrect grammar can be irritating, one must keep in mind that these are just the trivialities of Life, therefore one should keep all things in their proper perspective!

LigiaFlecken says:

As a foreigner, I've learned grammar and spelling and I'm very conscious of it. So, I always try to do the best I can in everything I write. Consequently, I can usually spot mistakes in somebody else's writing.

uwin says:

If you are relaying your message, it doesn't matter unless you're an English Teacher.

Sodponder says:

it is some what meaningful, but I think the content of what your trying to say means more than the speeling.

SilenasImages says:

No it doesn't mean that much to me. I'm a very bad speller and without spell check I'm totally lost. When I'm writting to MBF I just wing it. As long as they understand me I don't care, however at work it's another story. Spell Check gets a workout.:)

timthom1 says:

as long as you can comprehend what is being said then its ok 2 use shortcuts lol " r u ready 4 sum football "

TerriJo says:

gills says:

i know some people prefer the exact spelling. but i tend 2 type the way i sms. its quicker. on my lens i had 2 try hard not 2 abb.. i think its just wat ur used 2.. although on sayin that i get tx's off my kids i still dnt understand lol xxx gillybean

Charmingscents says:

Not really I use abreveations all the time while online in chats and on blogs. I also use them when texting. Now I am not saying when you are writing up your resume online that you should tell them you are a happy, outgoing person who <3's to LOL. But if it is friends and everyday company go ahead and tell them you will TTYL.
