Oh, they fail FAST.

If I travel somewhere that people talking funny.... down south, in west virginia, canada, etc ... for an extended period, I pick up their verbal habits in like 3 days.

I start talking with an accent, or saying "eh" after every sentance.

It's sad.  People pick up communication habbits QUICKLY.  Luckily I still do a LOT of business writing and e-mail writing to professionals, so I keep my skills pretty up to date.

plus, still being in grad school doesn't hurt.  We write a lot of case studies.

*cough* :roll:

lolz! pwned

Nope.

There's a difference between making mistakes and making mistakes but not caring.  It's one thing to make a few grammatical errors.  It's another to KNOWINGLY continue to speak like a 12 year old child.

 He's over here saying that using correct grammar on the Web is a complete must, then not even proofreading his own message. If you're going to ridicule someone for their grammar mistakes, you better make sure your own skills are flawless. Whether she's doing it on purpose, not caring if she's doing it, etc.

While the attempt at comedy is noted, typos and minor misspellings is not the same as refusing to correct ones grammar and punctuation.

I spell a lot of shit wrong and I make a lot of typos.  But I make FAR fewer than 90% of the people on this MB.

BTW, the irony of the person who is trying to troll me here is absolutely savory.

Edit (edited again to remove blatant ad hominem): Holy fucking shit.

Did you even FOLLOW the discussion?  Apparently not.  Because if you DID, you would realize how what you are saying is COMPLETELY TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IRRELEVANT.

I am not NOW, nor would I EVER, jump someones shit for a TYPO or minor spelling mistake.  EVERYONE MAKES THEM.

THIS IN NO WAY INVALIDATES MY POINT.

Now, please leave this thread and let your betters continue this discussion.

kthxbye.

[Grakthis]

Damn right you're done.

I love people who walk into conversations, say something non-sensical that has nothing to do with the current topic, then storm off when someone in the conversation tells them they are non-sensical.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Andrew and Todd.. On message boards I’m usually quick and don’t think because I barely have the time to be here as it is. At school I have tons of things to do such as homework, cleaning, laundry, class, etc. Then since I live in the dorms I’m always wanting to hang out in the hall with my friends. Partying is fun too. Now my sorority takes up a lot of time as well, I go to my house about two or three times a day. Basically I don’t see why correct grammar matters on a message board. I barely have enough time to be here as it is, so when I am it’s quick.
I don't have any problem with writing papers after using bad grammar on message boards. I guess it's because I write papers more than I go here.

This is a compeltely different point than you were making earlier and completely invalidates your original defense.

Correct grammar DOESN'T "matter" on a message board EXCEPT where it makes your post difficult to read.  Which is precisely why MY ORIGINAL POINT was that you should use linebreaks and spacing to make your posts more READABLE.  Which you defended with "OMFG! ITS A MESSAGE BOARD! IT DOESN'T MATTER."

But, alas, it does.

Because a giant glob of random sentences with no spacing and no breaks by topic/audience/concept etc is difficult to read.

Making typos and spelling errors because you didn't feel like proof reading is fine.  Making the same mistake over and over and not fixing it because you're too lazy/don't care is not.

well i am now an official member as of 9 or 10 days ago!
i cant explain how incredible initiation was! it was amazing and way different than anything ive ever expirienced. its kinda cool to think that it was a ceremony that has been done exactly the same way, but over 170,000 women over the last 135 years. Its weird to think that I share secrets with people like Sheryl Crow and Laura Bush.
I'm still loving everything! It's been great and I know it's only going to get better. I know bringing this thread up again is going to bring a lot of criticism for certain people again, but you know what? I don't care. I'm extremely happy with my decision to join. It's helped me so much.
