When a person persist, for whatever reason, in using bad grammar or spelling, especially when it is intentional ("Ebonics," internet-ese, etc), it becomes almost impossible for me to take that person seriously. |
Then that's their problem, not yours.
I admit I don't have the best grammar or spelling at times, but that's because I type as fast as I think, and I usually don't bother to go back and make sure everything is perfect for those out there who are anal about grammar.
My grammar at times isn't the best, but it doesn't involve any relation to your intelligence, since I apparently have an IQ of 164.... whatever that is.
What about people who are very intelligent but are dyslexic? You're gonna try and take them down a notch because they're not as anal about getting their grammar right, or just can't compared to you?
I write the way I talk.... I talk the way everyone else around me talks, as I grew up.... it's an accent.
So long as the message can be read and understood, then that's all that matters..... for those select people who bitch about spelling and grammar..... I think it's time for them to grow up and get out of school...... this is the internet and a forum.... not English class...... get over it.
