How important to you are other people's grammar and spelling when reading their messages online?

[XIIISwords 1,059]

Blantant misspellings are annoying, but I'm okay w/ people making mistakes.

[Think Pink 1,967]

I find it beyond annoying when I can't immediately understand a post. I feel like if I take the time to write proper sentences, other people should too. I'm not nuts or anything, everyone makes mistakes. I mean like those people who teyp l1ek dis & do eet al d4y.

[Shana09 5,769]

Basically I dont want NO ONE to write like this:

 

S0 W3 G0T T0 G0 T0 TH3 P@RK @ND D0 0TH3R STUFF GUR1111111!! (not homestuck, just those annoying unreadable text) (worse than this)

[HarLea Quinn 26,501]

Grammar and punctuation doesn't need to be perfect,but If I can't understand what you are trying to convey it becomes a problem.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

I'm fine with the occasional typo (I make plenty of them), but not the butchering of a language.

[Obi-wan 411]

I have to read my sisters papers so I am completely alright with mistype grammar because I can understand that and messing writing.

[TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689]

I think it is of the utmost importance. I don't think you need to type perfectly all the time but as long as you have proper, spelling and punctuation at the flip of a switch if you need it to be, I think it's mainly alright if your writing isn't perfect.

[Junko 2,815]

As long i can read what they're saying, im good

[Exodaze 491]

I don't think it is really important at all. As long as it is comprehensible and I do understand what you meant.

[CrownKeeper13 688]

VRY! Peeple ho mspel words luk lik idiets!

[A mystery 346]

I think it is very important to have proper grammer and spelling when typing online. I can understand a typo here and there, but when I can't understand what the person is trying to communicate it drives me crazy.

[_The Door To Light_ 1,507]

It's pretty important to me. I'm fine with an occasional error.

But not when people purposely create errors, insert numbers in words (LIk3 D1S)

and just plain butcher languages.

[Kishira 2,854]

I only mind when I don't know wtf they're trying to say. Otherwise, I don't really care. It's the internet, let me shut my brain off for a while and chillax.

[Rob 5,571]

I don't care as long as I can read it. Now.........

 

WHERE IS ROXAS96???? HE NEEDS TO ANSWER THIS!

[SHADOWPAIN 66]

Not that important but, when you start writing in a way that goes agaisn't all that we are taught in America then we have a problem.

EX: 1 H8 tat dooch becuz H 3 A1T' guuuch1 (This is not acceptible!!)

However, if you mispelled something like I probally did right here ^ then it's ok.

[Always 309]

It's hard for me not to judge people based on their grammar and spelling, but after interacting with so many people whose first language isn't English, I'm getting better about not passing judgments, because you just never know. It is still kind of important to me, though, because I like to be able to understand what exactly someone else is saying so that I can respond properly.

[ssceles 134]

In the modern era, spelling is almost a non-issue with spell check readily available. Grammar itself is excusable. If your sentence structure is confusing, that's fine, I'll just assume English isn't your first language. But if you're not even trying to use proper capitalization and punctuation, in an effort to save time? I'm just going to save time and probably not respond to you. Making first impressions with total strangers is important. It's not just for school, it's for the real world. I'm not going to take you seriously if you act like you don't care.

 

I really hope people don't shuffle around and mumble without coherent ends and beginnings to their sentences in real life.

 

tl;dr - I laugh at the people who don't even try. And not in a good way. If you're like me, you might appreciate this YouTube series:

[Terranort9406 288]

[xxClouDxxmoon 901]

As long as I can understand it, Im fine with it.

[Sora96 17,256]

I don't care as long as I can read it. Now.........

College. Ha ha.

 

Anyway, I'm home now.

 

Very Important.

[simba363 6]

doesnt really matter to me as long as i can read it sometimes i mispell as well like im not so sure i spelled mispell rightXD........(;A;)

[coolwings 1,546]

Grammar isn't really a big deal with me but I would at least like to know what they are saying.... otherwise spelling isn't really a big deal either.

 

But text language.... I just can't stand it..... it's horrible!

[AwersomeOne 109]

sometimes people who use bad grammar make it hard to read , but i really don't care how people type http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png (Who cares whether someone uses perfect grammar, you do you and i do me lol)

[Tsunamo 62]

Aslong as it's understandable I don't mind if their grammar isn't that great.
