It's getting painful to read some of the posts on here.

Call it what you want, it's still social media and you get what you get. I have noticed the grammar skills since day one but
I post how I want and glean helpful information where I can regardless of grammar or spelling. Attitudes now, that's
a different story and now that my car is finished I really don't have much call to be here.
Who has the time or self-importance to monitor others on a free social media site anyway?
 
Did my wife put you up to this. I know she works full time for the grammar police but now she has just gone too far to get my attention. I know I am one of those impatient people who rely on spell check with fat thumbs typing on my phone. I didn't realize it was that big of a deal but I will definitely try to improve. Seriously your point has been noted. As I am a half retarded southern redneck.

Hell I'm pretty happy if I can just get you guys to use the spacebar, period, and the Shift/ capitalize key once in awhile LMAO
 
Some just need to chest thump and go on about how much better they are than everyone else.( No one referenced in particular)
 
I'm often on the net on my smart phone. The keyboard is so small and my finger tips don't come to a point! I hit the speaker button and say what I want to type. The bad thing is there are no caps or punctuation, just one long run-on sentence.

I don't have/ use a smartphone/ tablet, but I bet that is a large amount of the trouble right there..........a keyboard that is difficult to manage as to be nearly useless. I have some tiny "convertible" tablets I bought. They DO have removable keyboards but they are not full size, so trying to "touch type" with my club fingers is "not happenin"

My current smartphone got dumber when it lost the ability to rotate to 'landscape' where the keys were wider. Probably get a new one soon, but phone still works otherwise.
The worst ever for my was when I had a Blackberry phone for work. Them beady little keys...:wtf::BangHead:

LMAO. I saw that and went back and 'uncorrected' it before your reply!
 
But sometimes spelling does matter...

Nobody is perfect, life deals everyone a different hand. I never say no to someone asking for help,as well i never look down my nose at anyone. God has blessed me with the life i have today, and for that i am grateful. Pay it forward i say.

Is it just me or have the posts gotten way worse lately? Horrendous spelling, run on sentences, atrocious grammar, and a complete inability to convey one's own thoughts seem to be becoming commonplace. I consider my comprehension skills to be pretty good. Even after rereading a post several times, I sometimes find myself at a complete loss as to what the hell the poster is trying to say.

It may well be you, I have noticed it since the day I joined... but it's not just here, spend enough time on EBay or CraigsList and you'll be unable to avoid it. As suggested by others, if it's so bad that it truly affronts you - just move on, let the Grammar Nazi in you chuckle inwardly - we're not in grammar school and it's not a winnable battle. Wutcha gunna due dood. :lol:
 
Most of the time you can read a paragraph even if all the vowels are missing. It is also not to difficult to read a paragraph as long as the words have the first and last letters correct, and all the other letters are present, in any order.
I think it is concepts that are difficult to understand. For instance, my wife has a degree, spells great, good grammar, good punctuation, blah blah blah. However, when she tries to describe a real or perceived problem with with her car, my response is usually... huh?.
