Answer 1

Poor grammar, capitalization, and spelling in written communications leads people to believe you are less intelligent than you might be.
So does inadequate and/or improper punctuation. It is painful for those of us who are relatively educated to read posts such as yours. If you spell and punctuate in school, as you have above, and they pass you, that is a shame. To aquire and hold any job worth having, a decent education is neccesary. Don't short-change your future by being lazy (your words), or just getting by in school. If you are already out of school, I feel sorry for you.
P.S. All the incorrect abbreviations, as if you were texting someone, is the worst of all. How intensely annoying.

"I don't know why but I get really irritated when people make fun of other people's grammar and spelling like on comments on yahoo answers, youtube, and many other places. It's like dude it's a freaking comment, people do it to have fun. It's not a freaking essay and I really don't have the time and energy to check if every word is spelled correctly for those who have no lives, who are on the Internet to make fun of someone. Seriously, they really need to get a life. Does anyone else feel this way? P.S. Sometimes I misspell some words. Not because I can't spell, it's because I accidentally type in the wrong letter and am really lazy to fix it and automatically people assume that just because someone didn't spell the word correctly, the person is a retard or something and they put some dumb comment about it."

You made some errors so i fixed them for you.

Answer 3

Most educated people find it hard to take someone seriously when they have a worse grasp on the English language than a 6th grader. It is usually a sign of being poorly educated... or immature if they are purposely using "Zs" where "Ss" belong and such.... not always the case I know. Some people are really smart but can't spell... dyslexia and such... but I do use the spell check myself before sending out anything so as not to look like an idiot. Once I had a car salesman email me back and he spelled "automobile" incorrectly twice... and all I could do was email him back and tell him ain't no way I am buying an automobile from a guy who can't spell the frekkin' word. Yah.. I was thinking "idiot" - at least use spell-check.

Answer 4

Perhaps someone has an interest in the well being of others. Poor spelling reflects on the person that has made a post for millions of people to see. If you want to appear as being lazy, or a slob, that is your choice. It is also the choice of others, and their freedom of speech to comment on what they see. If you don't like it, then perhaps your best defense is to do the best that you can, thus avoiding comment. Not everyone can read the cryptic messaging that others use. There is also the issue of words misused, such as "bare", where "bear" should have been used.

Answer 5

hmmph. i'll try to take this seriously...

well, i don't really point out people's spelling and grammar mistakes too often; i only do it when i really can't understand what's going on.

in some instances, however --like with your question and comment-- really bad spelling, grammar, punctuation (or lack thereof) can make understanding what someone else is saying a really difficult task. so, that's why some people like to point out these sorts of mistakes.
i mean, if you were talking to someone, face to face, and you emphasize all the wrong words, pause at weird times, and use really odd intonation... well, you'd probably get a raised eyebrow --at the very least!-- in response. don't you think?
the same is true over the internet. here, where we're all more or less anonymous anyway, a "wtf?!" is just a raised eyebrow. granted, those folk who resort to name-calling and beyond would probably get better results if they just asked for clarification. but, hey, different strokes for different folks.

of course, there are also those others who are just really, really persnickety. yeah, with them, i guess they just really have nothing else to do...

still... if you want to be understood by others, it's best just to stick within the rules of the language. if people get all bent out of shape because you don't even try to be coherent, you can't get all pissy for not seeing it coming. know what i mean?

language is not something left up to the individual; it's more of a social or group agreement. you can't just make changes to language and expect people to understand you.
this is especially true on the internet. i can't hear your tone of voice; i don't know when you make pauses within your sentences; i don't know what words you stress... it's in this context that following the rules of language is most important.

if you want to get a message across over this medium, you have to strick to proper --or accepted-- spelling, grammar, and punctuation as best as you can.

i suppose it depends, too, on your audience. if you're in a chatroom where everybody else abbreviates every word or spells things --err-- uniquely, well then no worries... ^^

Answer 6

If you spell things particularly badly, then people can't understand what you are trying to say. It's easier to read words that are spelled correctly, and sentences that contain punctuation.

Your comments on the internet are all that I know of you, so I have to presume that you are poorly educated, retarded or lazy, because you haven't made an effort, or are incapable of using correct English grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

First impressions are important, and my first impression of you is not good.

Answer 7

I agree that writing can be more informal on the Internet, so it's okay to make spelling and grammar mistakes. But in some cases, the writing may be difficult to read, so readers will leave comments. For example, I found your question difficult to read. The Internet is a text-based medium, so expect others to judge you on the only thing they can - what you write! If this doesn't bother you, then no worries.

Answer 8

buddyann, its correctly with a c,, lol, sry had to throw that in there. an i have not the time to correct all those grammer probs you put up there, jees, how long did that take? Stop sweating the small stuff, you have plenty of time and other more important thing to worry about then why someone wants to correct you and try to keep our youth growing and pushing our great country in the right direction, now go back to freken school and become a great leader.

Answer 9

well people make mistakes all the times. So misspell can happen all the time especially when you are typing. For some people to comment on others who have misspell maybe because they just can't help to notice and tell that some words are misspelled. Or there are some people who just have nothing better to do and want to make fun so that they will sound smart for knowing some mistakes that others made. There is nothing that we can do that's just how people are...

Answer 10

It is hard to read things that are misspelled or plainly made up. To me, it also tells me how uneducated you are, but then you said it yourself, you are lazy and that is just sad for a young person as I am sure you are.
It is also obvious you don't just accidentally type in the wrong letter; don't fool yourself, you just can't spell very well.
By the way, it is not 'does people', but 'do people.' It is spelled 'grammar' not 'grammer.'
