really guys screw grammar i mean really if you just put it as one run on sentence you can still get your point across, although a comma every now and then would be nice, but really grammar isnt that important is it
I beg to differ.
If you can't be bothered to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation (GSP) when asking questions, why should the other members bother to respond?
You obviously aren't taking the time necessary to think out your use of the language, what should make us believe you took the time to think about the actual question?
I will rarely respond to people who 'typ lik dis' because they obviously are to lazy to type correctly, leading me to believe they are to lazy to have thought about their post and the question/content contained in it. Which further leads me to believe they were to lazy to do any research at all in order to answer it themselves.
So why would I bother to help someone out when they haven't made any decent effort to help themselves? (For example, google search, wiki search etc.)
If you aren't putting the time in to use proper GSP, why would I put my time in to give a decent well thought-out response to it?
To clarify, this post is directed towards people who have English as their first language, and still fail to speak/type it correctly. This post does not apply to people who are learning/do not know English.
However, something to point out, there are many people on this forum with English as a second language who still use better GSP then people who have it as their first language.
Sorry about this long rant, but it annoys me when people expect good responses to something they didn't bother to think out themselves.
I believe there is a difference between a run-on sentence with no punctuation, capitalization, or thought versus a few typos in a well thought-out post.
I'm just making a point. No one is perfect and until you are, don't expect others to be.
I know no one is perfect, and I am not expecting people to be. However, it is extremely easy to use proper GSP when typing, there is no time constraint when typing, there is no limit to number of times you can use the period key or the shift key. If you spend an extra 2 minutes to type a decent post and use proper GSP you will get a lot more respect.
Also, care to point out to me where in my posts I claimed to expect perfection?
Sorry, don't want to start anything here. Just saying, your grammar isn't the best yourself. Repetitive use of 'to' instead of 'too' isn't a typo when done three times in one paragraph. None-the-less this is becoming a series of pointless rants which are very off-topic from what the original poster has asked advice for.
