Drew Peacock Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Because it is sloppy. I always rejected a cv which had spelling errors and poor grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Not noticed the English Nazi's for quite sometime. I like many post on the run and as such spelling and punctuation can be a little iffy. However if I were an English teacher I could see it would get on your nerves! Romans Go Home!

I would give this about D- for grammar. Rather amusingly the lack of grammar in your English only highlights its very urgent necessity. I'd say this is a classic paradox.

Calm down chivers. I take your point it just frustrates me when some one comes out with a very reasonable post only to get shot down on how they wrote it! Surely the the content of the post is much more important then the spelling or the full stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the the content of the post is much more important then the spelling or the full stops. I believe there should be a comma between post and it whilst "some one" should be someone.

Mike Litoris Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Poor standards shouldn't be tolerated in my opinion. 'Txt speak' has destroyed the literacy of a generation. It's just lazy as well. There are no real excuses either. Spell checks, the internet and 'auto-correct' make it that much easier to get it right. Often I feel people must go to considerable lengths to spell badly. Let's not forget that grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

pongo88 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I agree that the content is more important than the grammar but poor grammar and spelling often makes the post difficult to read. The use of paragraphs is often ignored which, with a long post, can make it almost unintelligible. Minor mistakes should definitely be overlooked but if someone can't be bothered to make an effort with a post, why should others make an effort to read it? (Remember, if there are mistakes in the above, I did say that minor mistakes should be overlooked. Plus, I'm about to go to the pub and I'm in a hurry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Life's too short to be correcting someones grammar on the internet, or worrying about it if someone does. Or replying on a thread about it (oops). It's worse to someones face. My better half only speaks basic English, and insists on me correcting her every time she gets something wrong (every other sentence!) in order for her to get better.

Red-Robbo Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think the most common homophone [insert your own joke here] on this site is *loose* for *lose*. For those who don't know the difference, I offer the sentence: "The defence was loose under SOD causing us to lose frequently." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually hard to understand posts that don't use at least some basic punctuation and it's not difficult to do. If your opinion is important enough to you to write down why don't you take ten seconds extra to make it possible to read easily? Nobody really picks at typos or the odd spelling mistake.
