Are you really that obsessive compulsive?

Hello. I have noticed a lot of bad grammar also. I agree that it is not hard to learn good grammar. All you need for a simple correct sentence is a subject and a verb. Anyway, the only thing you can do is ignore it.

LOL Yes, isn't that annoying? It's one of my pet peeves.
Some people need to revisit English 101 and learn the basics.
They're - a contraction for 'they are.'
There - specifies a place, stage, or point.
Their - a possesser of an object or action.

Don't forget capitalization and punctuation but it really bugs the hell out of me too! Blame our wonderful educational system. Soon the whole planet will be run by people adding to the Declaration Of Independence..."we's gots da rites to bare arms."

I think you meant to say "IT'S not that hard".
I believe you just proved that it is somewhat difficult to get things right every time even when you're a stickler for good spelling and grammar.

Because people don't care, and usually these questions are horribly annoying. It's just a computer so our typing doesn't need to be perfect. Especially if it's for stupid stuff liket this forum. If you understand it, then just let it go.

It is annoying. i think people just don't take the time. i normally just skip the questions where the person can't take the time to make it readable. i figure if they can't take the time neither can i.
BTW yes i know that i don't capitalize i... but their is a reason...so i guess i am just as bad. :P

because we are just trying to get our question in before anyone else answers with the same answer as you. So sometimes we dont think about what we are writing until afterwards.

Some people never made it past first grade I guess. Or they are just plain stupid and don't care that their English really sucks!!

Tell me about it. Doesn't it get on your last nerve?
Urgh! I could just choke some of these people!
Conclusion: I feel your pain.

I know exactly what you are talking about. Where did everyone learn how to spell?
