Come on, give us a little above average in grammar a break. There are levels of grammatical skill. There are those who don’t know what a letter is, there are those who are perfect in every way, and there are the rest of us who fall in between.
Those of us in between are condemned if we ever make a comment about horrendous use of the written language. It is almost like the global warmest who are mostly not “scientists” but they condemn anyone who criticizes global warming as not being scientists, or someone who questions Barack is condemned for as a racist.
Why can’t we make some minor grammatical errors while pointing out grievous errors in these kids posts? We can goof up in our writing while still communicating a reasonable thought. Those kids barely seem to know how to use their text input devices. Then, they use it for criminal activity.
I make numerous grammatical errors in my posts. I am not proud of that. Some, I know better, some I don’t.
If anyone finds errors in my posts and you have the time, send me freepmail. I would like to improve my writing, but humiliating and making fun of fellow posters gets tiring.
