Poor grammer is still poor grammer, even on the internet.
Poor Grammer, is sometimes still Poor Grammar, even when spelled incorrectly. AND even on the internet. /AttemptAtHumor
Touche, my friend. Often between spelling and typing, my typing ability is the limiting factor.
“grammer?”
Nice lecture, pops. Try a little Strunk and White’s, will ya?
[How the goal posts have moved, from not discriminating on race to demands that minorities partake in every activity or you’re a racist.]
If an event open to anyone that wants to come is not attended by colored people because colored people choose not to come, the organizers and attendees of the event are racist. Sure is a stretch to use the race card if one asks me...but, of course, no one asks...
Strunk & White’s does not support the use of “and” to start a sentence. It used to be a sign of poor literacy.
I see. So, even as you don’t know how to spell “grammar” you want to both accuse others of not being “literate” and at the same time are willing to throw away the points of an entire article because ONE sentence started with a word you don’t like?
That’s a nice cutting-off-your-nose-despite-your-face sort of reaction, don’t you think?
I guess, then, Thomas Jefferson who sometimes misspelled words, should be thrown out as far as you are concerned? In fact ALL the founders had various levels of grammatical failings on occasion, especially in their letters to each other. I guess they were all illiterate and therefore not worth listening to, eh?
“Grammer” Nazis like you always makes me laugh. I would agree if a piece had multiple misspellings, tons of bad grammar, and poor argumentation, that that piece is easily dismissed. But when you read a piece and find ONE grammatical problem or a single misspelling and that is ALL you can focus on? That is just pedantic and childish.
