...Yuse:wtf:

Fail at being funny.

Hahaha, that was actually a typo, they never seem to miss me in irony.

Youse is actually a plural of you in my dialect, and I use it. :(

So you are saying that people that post with grammatical errors are less superior people?

Are you serious?

Just because someone has less smarts than another person, whether book smarts or street smarts, doesn't make them less of a person. There is a lot more to life than just intelligence.

On top of that, a persons grammar on a forum is an extremely inaccurate way to measure intelligence. Some people just don't care about perfect grammar. Amongst those people are some brilliant poets.
i agree, if you have to put someone down for what some says on the internet... well then that's just sad.

In this instance it wasn't been used as a term for addressing multiple people it was 'use' and completely different.

It is pronounced the same that's where the similarity ends.

Hence why it was a typo.

I'm not intelligent, I just know how to use grammar to get my point across correctly. I have said nothing that could make anyone less of a person.

I just think that, when people are writing out a CV, they use correct grammar, which is believed to impress, of course it works, you just earn my respect if you type in correct grammar. It shows that you have the time and actually care about a thread, it's not like you should value every little bit of time you have, but adding in a few more letters will make everything all the better.

Is it just a lie for someone to use correct grammar on their CV when they don't use it online? I see that there is no difference between them, obviously these people do, a CV is potentially used to get you money. I thought people had some good will to at least type orderly when not getting something in return.

I just measure respect to the language, and the readers by using correct grammar, it's just polite. Alright, you can let your slang and speech slip into your posts, I really don't mind that, I'm not typing in an essay manner, I just like to believe that it is conversational. Imagining that people actually talk like that is quite pathetic and not human.

I like you for challenging my opinion, that's what I believe a forum is about, not asking a quick question and getting the hell out.

I see what you are saying there.

I have no problem with people talking grammatically incorrect, it just lessens the chance that I'm going to take their posts seriously. And I really don't see the need of abbreviations for things like 4-5 letter words.

General knowledge.

Don't make me get the scousers on you, because they like a good ginger to feast on. =P

I'll set the smoggies out in a flash, all I need is a car for them to chase to steal and a 'parmo'.

Do you honestly believe that text talk is easier to read? Because I personally have to decipher it all the time.

And like the hell anyone from Middlesbrough can take on scousers.

No, where did you get that idea from?

I hate text talk, especially with all those abbreviations changing words into single letters.

I thought that you were pretty neutral to the idea. But I just have a major problem reading it...

Oh it could be a close match.

We even have larger chins and looks like zombies, :)

I dont got nuthin gainst usin rite words n stuff n avin dem words go in a way so u can read em gud n all dat in fact I fink its a gud idea but cum on r u tellin me u dnt undertand dis post ?

yes. it takes me longer to make sense of this. therefore i don't bother reading it. someone who isn't going to type properly probably doesn't have the intelligence, patience, or depth for me to spend any time of day considering their opinion.

this thread is getting out of hand.

there's four groups:
the who cares group who type as wii>you describes.
the who cares group who types normally.
the oh-my-god-how-dare-you's.
and those who agree.

what's the point in carrying this on? the creators of the forum don't mind - they didn't specify typing styles in the registration process. if they did, then there would be an issue. those who don't like it, like myself, just skip anything that irritates you. those who are outraged - don't let it bother you, i'm sure you have your reasons for typing in such a fashion.

edit: point well made :prrr: don't lock it.
