BTW, I respect the fact that you know you are an ass, freely own it (as does my own ass, er hubby) and that it helped you snare a wife. You are 100% correct, for certain women, myself included, assholes attract women like shit attracts flies.

@ rainbow… Yes it was jb591333 I thought was older… I was not correct… I expected worst grammar out of a 21 year old american, can you blame me… I am older than you both at 32

There you go….i’m slinking away in shame now!

i couldn’t find it…

Or, Lisa is a Hoe that catches Mononucleosis a lot.

Or, she’s retarded and is trying to be like the Mona Lisa, a very famous painting my Leonardo da Vinci. Only she’s stupid and spelled it wrong. She obviously can’t spell anything else.

On top of that, yes, I realize that my skimming through the comments is also a waste of time, but I’ve looked twice today out of curiosity to see if people are still arguing. Some people have checked back and responded multiple times over the course of almost 8 hours. So I wonder if they have anything better to do. If not, good for them. I was just observing.

That is all.

I’m 21.

Case in point.. Sammy! *seethe*

By the way, was it me or Jb565246 who you thought was older than you? I’m 22 …

BTW I am an educated American and I dont always use proper english… And I’m willing to bet you are older than I and not part of my generation

Also I am not racist or ignorant… I am an argumentive ass… I make jokes that are not always appropriate… But I am here to entertain me while my computer systems exchange data not entertain you folks

And finally… I am not defending the kind of writing like sammy… Some go out of their way to spell incorrectly… I dont understand it, but I dont waste my time correcting it (As you have seen correcting spelling isnt my thing, lol)… Its just a generational thing… Texting, facebook, forums and twitter are changing communication… And in that free form communication grammar and spelling are not important… So to correct or hate on those that arent perfect is just being a stuck up jerk

I’ll admit I’m a spelling/grammar pedant – which is more hassle than it’s worth! – and ‘correct’ spelling, phrasing and punctuation is built into my character. I learnt how to do it at school and I’ve never forgotten. I even studied English to degree level, so it’s pretty deeply ingrained! However, we’ve stumbled across the interesting point that this sort of linguistic behaviour is no longer routinely ingrained; it really IS something that we see as appropriate in certain social situations, and out of place in others. The question is, is it a bad thing that so much ‘incorrect’ language is being bandied about on the internet, or should we just be grateful that groups of people whose intellect, social status, lifestyle or interests would previously have restricted them to verbal communication are now turning to the written word?

The increasing tolerance, and even validation, of non-standard spelling and grammar is something we’re going to have to accept, however reluctantly. Eventually text-speak and other common misspellings (e.g. definitely as ‘definately’) will become standard alternatives. This will annoy people like me (and possibly Steve!), but language is a utilitarian system, and the language of the masses will win out.

Sorry for the lecture, guys! *hides in shame* I am a nerd.

If Sammy had typed her message like that I would’ve had NO problem understanding it. Actually it was a lot clearer than some of the posts on here. Pehrpas we sholud wrtie lkie tihs all the tmie!

And don’t say things like “in America we don’t care about spelling and grammar in professional situations” because that’s just silly and generalises an entire country. I’ve never seen a President do an address like: “OMG Amezica is da BOMB! WOO!! We sooooo awzum! I lyk tottally luv this cuntry!”

@ Aveldessa: It’s not racism, America isn’t a race. And you might want to read what’s actually being written, not just make assumptions. Also, that little experiment proves that as long as you have to right letters, even if they’re not in the right order, you can read it. As you may have noticed, these posts don’t have the right letters, they in fact don’t even resemble the English language.

Speak for yourself, slimjayz. Educated Americans use proper English.
