why does me grammar...

[Deleted User]

suck egggs ---no I mean why does my grammar go down the pan on here. Usually I write very well -I dunno!


do you find that too?

[Deleted User]

You just don't try.

[Deleted User]

Maybe it's just carelessness, Hoose.

[Deleted User]

I'm a grammar pedant and will get really arsed off with myself over a misplaced comma, dubious semi-colon etc. etc.

A wrongly used apostrophe could lead to a spell on Valium.

I think slight carelessness is infinitely preferable.

We don't tend to correct each other on here, so we get a bit lazy! For me, it's my spelling which has gone downhill:S

[Deleted User]

Just trying to be tactful!;)

[Deleted User]

An affectation?

A nervous tic perhaps Hoose whenever you post on the forum?

[Deleted User]

The thought crossed my mind, Beebs! You have to know your grammar and spelling if you consistently get it "wrong" the same way, Hoose!

[Deleted User]

You sound fine to me!

M..o.use

When you are on forum you are typing quickly and therefore don't devote so much attention to detail.

Also you type as you 'speak' which isn't grammatically sound either.

By 'you' I don't mean you individually Hoosie, I mean people in general.

We don't "hear" each other's accents this way, though, when we post, so when I (and others) do meet people who have been posting on here for the first time, it can be quite interesting for me as a foreigner!:)

I'm forever typing 'of' instead of 'have' cos we never done no proper England at my skool

[Deleted User]

Now you're being silly, Hoose

Does anyone else have really carpy handwriting since using computers so much? I filled an application form recently & could barely read what I'd written! Its like ive lost the ability to write!

[Deleted User]

I actually find that I print more rather than join up my letters :S

[Deleted User]

Mine has always been grim and now it is just atrocious. Blame that on biros and not having to write anything, unless it's on a big old white board thing, which I hate.
