Some grammar…

[NerevarParticipant 8040]

Men, sometimes the grammar here annoys me. I don’t care if your first language is English or not (it’s my second language, Dutch is my first), you have to check your s~~~.

They’re: they are.
Their: possessive “it belongs to them”.
There: a location.

It’s: It is. Mind it, and see if it is correct in a sentence. If you type something like “It’s bike is awesome”, replace it with “It is bike is awesome”. Sounds s~~~ty, doesn’t it?
Its: not the above. But: “Its Johnny!” is wrong. It should be “It’s Johnny!”, see “It is Johnny!”

Your: possessive, “Your house/place/friends”, etc.
You’re: “You are”, the the example above.

thanks dude..
sometimes when it’s going hot and heavy in here the grammar flies out the window.
for me, i went to public school in new york city..
horrible education system..
kids would fight you if you got a good test mark.
we all had to “dumb-down ” or risk getting ganged up on.
but i know what you’re saying..
.
also different regions here in the U.S. have different slang words and i always thought that must f~~~ with people not from where i am..
i like the english and australian slang..
don’t know all of it for sure,
but it sounds cool to me ..

I know mine’s not always perfect. Grade 1 sucked – female teachers who were not very nice.

Though I try to get it right.

Yeah sometimes I get low blood sugar if I eat too much or I’m just f~~~ing tired, not just physically but men tall. Btw I am in a lot of pain so that makes a real problem too. Taking pain medication doesn’t work I just deal with it.

Well, strangely enough, usually the people who make these grammar mistakes are native speakers.

I use spell check on my computer but sometimes mistakes will slip through.

This site is actually pretty good compared to other social media sites and don’t even get me started on how some people text,lol.

Not to be a dick here, but quite a few members just have really s~~~ typing/grammar/dyslexia. It’s understandable. I don’t give a s~~~ about perfect grammar or even good grammar. As long as it’s coherent, it shouldn’t matter.

Plus, if you’re gonna be a grammar nazi, you should at least write paragraphs correctly. Which you don’t.

You forgot further and farther, I always make dyslexic mistakes, I even think I spelled the right definition even when proof reading sometimes, I even read words I forgot to type.

Sorry if I strained your reading experience.

are you a chia pet in man drag

[Anonymous 54]

I am dyslexit,but do the best I can. Do you like motorcycle racing ? I’m pretty dammed good at that. Too busy spending my life learning about women’s. But I’ll keep it to myself if you like. Now go ahead and tear me to shreds.

On a positive note. I have learned mu h here. Both from the intellectuals and basic working guys. Some are brillanty eloquent, others make pretzels and change change your life with one sentence. We all bring something to the tabke. We all help other Men. I know my sentences are ducked up. Its embarresing.But I want to help. I want to communicate with other Men who are aware of women’s way of being.

lel, u wot m9?

You’re only telling one side of the story here OP.

Communication is a didactic process, that requires effort on behalf of the speaker and the listener. I would argue that anyone who takes the time to post on the forum is putting in effort as the speaker. So, while grammar can always be improved, as long as there is enough context to derive meaning the listener should be encouraged to put in the effort to decipher the meaning.

I would even go further and suggest that people who have spent enough time communicating on the internet, don’t even have to put the effort into deciphering ‘incorrect’ grammar. Personally, I don’t even notice the grammar.

Informal language (which I would categorise forum language) has always been different. I think internet forum communication is evolving to it’s own grammarlite style.
