Yes, immensely! I can't stand bad grammar, and it seems text talk and the internet is making it worse

It doesn't annoy me on AB because enough people DO write properly that I can let the rest go. But on FB and on text messages, it annoys me to no end. In 25 years, the comma will have replaced all periods.

:(

Generally, yes. I mean, making a couple of mistakes is one thing, but some of the papers I have "peer-edited" in the past have been absolutely horrendous. One was so bad that the girl could not even tell me what she had intended to write for one of her points when I asked her (because I had no bloody idea). But, what I hate even more is chat-speak. I want to strangle people who use that sometimes.

I can NOT stand chat speak. (I'm probably the only 15 year old that you will hear saying this). It pisses me off to no end!

I would have said that at 15 and I still say that (and I will be 19 on Thurs).

Good heavens yes, it does! Good grammar is indicative of proper "breeding". In all honesty, good grammar is an art form that has been lost.

I completely agree. Chat speak is the worst of it though.
Avatar heavenlyvamp Jun, 03 2009 at 04:04 AM
That is definitely bad. I'm in an online college program. All activities are done via a chat forum. Despite being online, this IS college! There are people in my "classes" that can't properly write to save their lives. There are constant mistakes in spelling, phraseology and overall grammar. It's appalling!

Yes, and unless I know better, I usually assume them to be a troll (online, at least). In the real world, I just assume they are poorly educated. Or a redneck...

Nope. I might stop talking to them if I don't understand a word they are saying, though.
