Did you attend school?
Did they teach you grammar there?
Spelling? Punctuation? Capitalization?
I'm honestly trying to be as minimally sarcastic as possible, but the nature of this post makes it difficult. I am just feeling ultra-frustrated.
I'm sick of reading blogs full of grammatical, spelling, etc. errors. Does anyone proofread anymore? Generally, I read any post I make, a blog, a comment, everything I post I read at least twice before I click submit just to check and check again for typos or other errors. I don't know about you all, but my web browser has spell check on it-it does the little red lines just like Word!
Who ignores those lines?
Why are we ignoring those lines?
STOP IGNORING THOSE LINES.
This blogging community, specifically, is meant to go beyond just ranting. We are bloggers with a desire to enact change, right? Personally, I find it really hard to take someone seriously who doesn't even know how to spell the word, or who does know how to spell it but it just too lazy to type it out in full.
For me, it's super ultra hard not to get really sarcastic with a member of the blogging community when their blog is full of errors. I try to stick to the purpose of their blog, and actually argue or agree with them, but I find myself struggling to refrain from sarcasm.
To me, blogs are like real live baby versions of actual publications. As sad as it makes me, the internet is probably the future of all publication. Blogs are real things with real people participating in your discussions, if you want people to take you seriously, make an effort to at least present yourself professionally, srzly.
P.S. I made this blog especially stuck-up in tone, I don't always write this way. Also, human errors are 100% acceptable. It's just when it goes beyond an error and becomes a pattern that I am truly bothered. I hope I didn't make too many people angry. :]
Happy, grammatically correct blogging.

I couldn't have voiced my frustration with chatspeak any better.

If you can translate that on your own, you have my undying respect.
I'm not too sarcastic then? :]]
I assure you, there is no such thing. I love how Firefox does spell-check for you. I always find it amusing when I'm smarter than the spell-check and use a word it doesn't recognize, thus requiring that I teach my computer something.
I don't need drugs - I have genetics.
i agree that people should check their post, however latly whats been fusterating me is people leaving nasty comments on other peoples grammar mistakes...but really only because they are fusterated at the actual blog topic. i like how you made a post about it in a way that didn't say hey go back to lit class because your blog sucks.
It may seem harsh, but that's how the real world is. No employer will be kind enough to tell you why your application sucks- they'll just throw it in the back of a filing cabinet and move on. It's better for someone to learn that others will judge based on grammar and spelling before they actually make it into the "real" world.

Hey, I dropped out of school, wasn't even taught English in school (I grew up in Israel). My grammar and spelling are pretty damn good because I read a lot. Grammar as it's taught in schools is pretty boring, no matter people don't know it.
