Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I have yet to find more than about three questions that do not feature spelling mistakes, terrible grammar and/or incorrect punctuation. The most common crimes against language are the utilisation of 'your' in place of 'you are' and getting 'their, there and they're' mixed up. Lots of people neglect to use capital letters too. Don't even get me started on punctuation! And apostrophes! I don't mind the odd slip up when it comes to correct English, but I have read loads of questions that I just didn't understand due to poor grammar. On one occassion, somebody wrote this giant paragraph, about twenty lines long, and there was not one full stop, comma, colon or semi-colon within it. I mean, I know you can use conjunctives and whatnot, but it's getting ridiculous! Does anyone else feel this frustrated, or is it just me...?
Ok, rant over :)
