How important is spelling and punctuation to you?

   / How important is spelling and punctuation to you? #161  
I laughed and laughed this morning over some self-important troll who said on one of my threads: "I read this STATIC"(emphasis added) and he went to say "half of or 50% of people"....:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:


I suggested to him that he may want to learn what the word STATISTIC means and how it is spelled and to learn that "half of" and "50% of" mean the same thing and that there is a keen thread here on TBN about spelling and punctuation....what a moron.

Make that moran! :)

There was a time, my daugther's time, where she was taught to write without worrying about spelling...
I was never sure of why but the teacher continually said she wanted them to be creative, they will learn to spell as we proceed.
Most of the younger set still write that way, my daughter through my pushing and pushing has improved 90% but she still doesn't understand why I am stressing these things and the teacher isn't.

Back to today and this post... my biggest problem with posts, not only here but on a few our forums, is the use of a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and a period at the end and why don't the individual writing the post know they have a run on sentence and that it is hard to understand.

I know old guy bitching here but with all of the Internet services, i.e. FaceBook, Twitter, etc and the abbreviations being used on them, the next generation will not even know how to spell their names or write a book or a short story.

All of our loss in the long run.
I didn't read the other 16 pages, sorry, just want to post my thoughts.
I hope I didn't misspell anything or miss a period.

Yesterday I sent my neighbor a text asking " did you get a hold of the trash collectors". He musta understood exactly what I meant.

All these so called grammar GODS ,that are complaining about miss spelled words/ punctuation must not have children at home they can correct.

They also should try to decipher what these kids today, are trying to say with all the acronyms they use everywhere.

OMG! You put the space on the wrong side of the comma after the word 'GOD'. :laughing:

OMG, you missed the misspelling of "misspelled" and that the commas after "GODS" and "today" are not needed.;)
