Why do some people have difficulty forming complete sentences? Do they think what they are writing makes sense?

G'day BenDover, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, not everyone receives a good education especially in English. It may also be influence of others who don't understand correct usage. Regards

Apparently so and they drive me nuts. I mark most nonsense down or if it is extreme, flag it as nonsense. Of course, its the lesser educated beings reaching out for help so we should be more charitable, but if I cannot understand the question I cannot help through this medium.

I struggle with this a lot at work, where I handle documentation produced by a large number of documents produced by co-workers whose first kanguage is not English. Sometimes, I see it in documents prepared by American-born English speakers. In either case, my first suspicion is that they are lazy. That is usually followed very closely by, if not coupled with, their attitude that whatever they produce is so important that people will struggle to understand whatever it is that they write, and they need to produce more of the "real" content to enrichen the world of medical insurance technology. What a load. These elliptical phrases are trouble when they leave much of the detail to the interpreter. I require full sentences that I call "standard English" instead of geekspeak, and I correct missing language when I encounter it. It's a bad thing.

I think it is a matter of priorities. For myself, writing clearly is very important; the best form of communication. With writing, I have the time to think of what I want to say, and then decide if it is understandable before I send it off. Many people prefer speaking, finding it more expressive and disliking the slowness of writing out their thoughts. The people who find writing important, try to do it well. The ones who find it a tedious way to communicate put very little effort into doing it correctly. I would like to get them to understand that they are hurting themselves by appearing illogical illiterate and illinformed,..... but I can't speak well! I can't hold a conversation although I know the words and how to string them together when writing. I can't fault poor writers without having to fault myself for something that I cannot change. Maybe it isn't a choice they make, but the only way they can communicate in writing?

in their mind it does because they know what they are or were thinking, have you ever gone back and read something you wrote and thought : " I could have worded that better "? thats because we knew at the time what we were saying, some are worse than others,( since I can t type,and I am computer illiterate not knowing where spell and gramar check is, also can t spell, I am amoung the worst. sorry for that )
