bad grammar is the most annoying thing in the world to me - sure i'm not perfect but when I get an email that says: 'i seen ur website and i like what i seen' - it makes me feel insane

i came from another country and i learned how to write in english so people who are from here really should be able to master the grammar

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

but what drives me really insane is when I see something like "your" instead of "you're" and "there" instead of "their" or "they're"

I MEAN SERIOUSLY

isn't taht stuff you learn in like 2nd grade.. come on!! i didn't even go to 2nd grade in America and I know that stuff

YOUR STUPID!! hahaha what, my stupid, my stupid what..?

(I could go on forever about this topic) I love that friends episode when Rachel writes Ross a letter and Ross says, "By the way, "Y-O-U apostrophe R-E means 'you are'. Y-O-U-R means your!" Even my office manager confuses those words in emails, which will never gain her respect in my book.

Everyone in my hall says "I seen". I always say, "Do you mean, 'you saw'?" There's no quicker way to make yourself sound like an idiot.

I think part of it is culture. My early ele school was tough on kids who couldn't spell or pronounce. The kids too. I led the Spelling Gang in the school and we had rulers and everything beating up the kids who couldn't spell. If a kid didn't read a paragraph within a certain time limit we would steal their lunch money and count it right in front of them because they probably could not count either.

We would make them write, "Oh Spelling gang members, you're the best with all of your efforts to hurt the kids who can't spell like you all can. They're not worth living their whole lives, so you might as well kill us now." Then we'd steal the pens and pencils they had since they were no use to them anyway.

lol wow yeah spelling is one thing but grammar kills me

it certainly does make one sound less intelligent when, say, applying for a job starting with the sentence "I am interested in a position at you're company"

i would hit delete on that email right there
