I'm not the best person at all when it comes to Grammar, I just do my best and make sure it can be read by others.

I just can't stand when people don't use punctuation, like periods or commas and just have run on sentences after the other.

I know you guys LOVE me talking about us all the time, but grammar really makes a difference.

Back when I didn't emphasize grammar so much, I was loathed. I grew out of it, became a (semi) more intelligent poster, and her opinion of me changed immediately.

Dakuda, that's a great find!

I try to use as proper grammar as possible as long as I don't have to think too hard to figure out which word or phrase is the most correct.

You just used "too" and "to" properly in a sentence! You get a gold star.

Holy cow thats fun.

A sentence from a paper my friend wrote:

In its broadest sense, science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") refers to any systematic knowledge or practice. In its more usual restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This paper focuses on the more restricted use of the word.

Translated:

Holy cow!

I understand that some words are hard to spell and that the backspace key is all the way over there --->. But i cannot stand someone that makes a thread asking a question that is just jiberish(<--- hard word example) If i can read the post, i'm happy. What gets me more pissed than someone using bad grammer is someone that corrects a person who used their or there or they're in the wrong context or many other similer examples. It's and internet forum, not and english paper.

Even though it's a forum, people still have to read what you write. It's easier to read if it's in proper English. And it's easier to be taken seriously if you don't write like a 6 year-old.

Using proper grammar, puctuation and spelling does make posts easier to read. I really don't mind to much if the sentence structure isn't perfect as long as what you're typing is readable. Typing "Hi, how are you today?" as : "HI HOW R U 2DAY ???!??!? OMG LOL" adds no meaning to what you're trying to say and subsequently makes it harder to read.

Correcting posts that only have small errors seems a bit pedantic though. It's easy to not completely focus on what you're typing and write "their" instead of "there" or "to" instead of "too".
