I'm seeing alot threads and posts about poor grammar and spelling usage. To those people that bashing the person with poor grammar...instead of insulting them, why don't you take the time to ask and find out why their spelling is bad, or why they used punctuation wrong. Like I've said in one post, many people are dyslexic (learning disability in which someone sees words distorted, words change, letters switch backwards, or words just won't "click"), and many them have English as a second language. English is among one of the toughest languages to learn. At 24, I'm still learning parts of the English language, and I grew up speaking English. I have dyscalculia. It's like dyslexia but with numbers. They just don't click in my brain. I'm extremely sensitive about cause I can't control it. I feel bad when someone asks a math problem and I have to say " I don't know" or " I need a calculator". I KNOW how those people with reading issues feel when they insulted. Please don't assume the person is stupid, or lazy b/c they can't spell. OFFER to help them. It takes a coward to insult someone, it takes a special person to step up and say " Hey. Let me help you". Please don't judge a person based on his or her reading or spelling skills, cause there are most likely other factors playing in that person reading skills. Thank you.
I apologize. I've had someone accuse me of plagiarizing a poem and I thought you were them with a different name. However, this isn't a judging thread, or one about poetry, or stories. It's about punctuation and grammar. Please don't ask me if its ok to judge someone, because I firmly believe no one has the right to judge someone else. Everyone will pay for their mistakes sooner or later.
Some people make threads complaining, but they aren't adressed to those who have problems or illnesses such as dyslexia. They are adressed to the lazy people who cannot be bothered to use proper spelling or grammar. Later on in life they will have trouble using proper spelling or grammar because they are so used to using it on their phones!
When I have some crisps and then my hands are greasy I go to type and the screen gets dirtyneed a screen protector
And Devnee, when you have the little itty bitty letters to type with, sometimes shorter is better. It's not your place to tell someone they need to speak a certain way. I abbreviate alot in text, but you have no idea how I, or anyone else, actually talk in real life. Text proper English takes time and space when abbreviations are shorter and still get the point across. I use omg, brb, lyk, yo. Crap like that and my actual speech is almost perfect. You're still judging.
And FYI, when you have 2 kids to support, a vehicle to maintain, school to pay for and a baby sitter to pay...screen protectors are a rather frivolous expenditure that you can't actually afford. They are rather expensive. Especially for the iPhone 3GS.
Omgf brittani we get it you have responsibilities and bills to pay. No need to mention it every time you comment in a forum. You're seriously in my top ten most annoying people of all time.
That thing was not supposed to be posted in forums. Heck, I ain't even been on pimd for the last hour or so. I apologize for my phone glitching out again, but I promise, I did cancel that last post.
So basically u made a thread about judging so u could judge anyone that didn't reply with a "omg ur soo right" or "thank u for bringing attention to this"lol. U do realize how silly that is? Besides, ppl judge gramar and spelling bcuz they cant see ur face or body to insult so they attack that. It's immature but who really cares about immature trolls on the internet?
