Damn, do they even teach spelling and grammar anymore?
When I grew up, stupid was looked upon as a bad thing. Being stupid used to be embarrassing. I guess not anymore.
I don’t mean the occasional typo or mistake. That is going to happen. I mean the users who regularly rape and pillage the written word. And it isn’t just spelling. It is also problems with basic grammar, using the wrong words (there/their, etc.), run on sentences, and complete lack of paragraph breaks, to name a few.
And don’t get your panties in a bunch, or go on the attack of any particular users (attacks on other users is a rant for another day). I am not calling out anyone in particular, or even just users on this site. It is everywhere on the web I go. But if this post makes you mad, then you must be a repeat offender.
And don’t cry about no spell check (although I think you can get add-ins/browser tool bars). Copy & paste from MS Word, etc., works quite well.
BTW, here is a good site:
http://dictionary.reference.com/
My head just hurts from trying to read indecipherable threads. I may post this rant at NastyZ too.
