Are bad spelling, bad grammar, cultural illiteracy and lack of reading comprehension?

Question

prerequisites for becoming religious?

Reading these boards certainly makes me think so.

Answer 1

you will also see a lot of nor-religious with the same problem.
no it is not a religious thing,

Answer 2

No, I don't. I lived a great many years in a very small town in Arkansas. A lot of people there speak in what can only be considered a close approximation of English and can barely spell their own name. Most of these people are not stupid, they just do not place the same emphasis on language as others do. I know there are those who think if you don't concern yourself with grammar and spelling there is something wrong with you but everyone has their own thoughts about what is important in life. Just because something is a sign of intelligence or class to one person does not make it so for everyone else in the world - the smartest people in the world accept that not everyone measures themselves with the same stick. So no, some people don't care and some people are concerned with other things. People should also keep in mind that not everyone communicating via the written word on online forums such as this are native English speakers. Some people are speaking/writing English as a second, third.... language. I only worry about another person's grammar and spelling if it is so poor that I have trouble figuring out what they are trying to say.

Answer 3

Misspellings, improper grammar, illiteracy and the lack of reading comprehensive skills do not have any direct correlation to religion. I just wish not to be bothered with all the rules of the English language. The meaning of a grammatically incorrect phrase is often still understood, as the human mind is trained to see rough patterns, not precise order. So, for example, the common typo "teh" is taken to mean "the", naturally.

sew know, its knot eh pre wreck quiz it

Answer 4

Not necessarily.

You would not think highly of my answers if you could see them before spell check as I have one of the many forms of dyslexia and my spelling and grammar is a mess until I can check it.

For some there are legitimate reasons for bad spelling or grammatical errors.

Answer 5

Seems like it. I am surprised that most of them find this board, let alone manage to set up an account and figure out how to post.

Answers in Genesis must have instructions posted some place.

Answer 6

I savor the delicious irony of someone posting a disjointed sentence fragment as a question meant to mock others for being illiterate.

Answer 7

I really have to wonder about that. Frankly, it depresses me. The phonetic spelling, the bad spelling, the quality of the questions..what are children learning these days? Are they learning at all?

Answer 8

I don't know what the explanation is.

I work with elementary students that do a better job with spelling and grammar.

Answer 9

Only for the Abrahamic religions.

Answer 10

NaH! Its commom amongst most peoples dee's days,A sign of dee tymes.

Answer 11

God writes with crooked letters, in straight lines.
