Am I an old fart?? (BTW I'm 36)
It kills me to read some of these posts. Either the spelling is atrocious or the grammar is.

The misspelled sentences either run on and on, or it just makes no sense!

My 9 year old can spell better and is more grammatically correct than a lot of the posts on here.

I know when you are in a hurry you can mistype a letter or two here and there, but some are ridiculous!!!!!!!

Eye no! KaN yew beeleave howe soopid peepill ar? Eye got ann eyedeer, if you have nothing more constructive to do than BITCH about spelling errors, why don't you start your own site? You can name it "Perfect Spellers" and have all of your little friends post their stories and you can correct all of the spelling errors! What fun!

Well, at I did get the replies I figured I would get.

Just one question. Obviously an old fart like me has nothing better to do than bitch about grammar, but might the same be true for you by replying to me?

Well, someone has to set losers like you straight. What do you have against retarded people? Why don't you go spend some time with your 9 year old, mommy dearest and enrich the little ones soul with your profound knowlege of the english language.

Imagine the hostility over being grammatically correct.
Boggles my mind.
I guess I have as much against "retarded spellers" as you do against people with a 6th grade education and above.

Thank you for the advice about teaching my 9 year old.
Incidentally,she is in a gifted and talented reading program and has already had a "coffee table" book published.

I guess it's not such a bad thing to teach your children proper spelling and grammar.

Have a nice day :)

Oh grow up - I'm just messing with you! Yesh! Have a sense of humor for the love of Mike! Maybe your daughters next book will be a tell-all about her overbearing, compulsive mother who/whom (?) doesn't have a funny bone! :o)
Now go get your fat ass off the sofa and make some dinner!
End of conversation!

As Aristotle said "Wit is educated insolence."
I'm sorry you do not possess this quality, try as you may.

Why would anyone care so much about spelling here? It's not like you're getting graded for this. Find another topic to argue about, like the war or the price of gas. This topic is boring. Good luck.

I really don't know why anyone replied in the first place. It's certainly nothing to argue or bicker about.
I was just leaving my "anonymous confession".

Assuming most of the posters are in the US, it just confirms the report that put our school systems 4th FROM THE BOTTOM on a world wide list. Perhaps some of them write like that to try and be kewl but they don't realize how ignorant it makes them appear, or they do and they just don't care. Steve should find a way to lock out the youngins who don't belong here. Hey Mr. Webmaster, you listening?

As long as I get my point across, I really don't care about the corrct grammer, spelling, etc - it's just for fun, if it was something of importance, I would be more careful, but why am I explaining myself to some pompus ass who thinks she is Miss Grammer anyway? She's probably some big fat pig that sits around all day with a bag of Doritos stapled to her bathrobe watching Jerry Springer and ragging on people...

Pompus ass? No, I just have an education. I think it's funny that you think I must be a fat ass in a bathrobe watching white trash TV.
I'm sure it comforts you think of me that way. You can somehow try to feel "above " me if it were true.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. I work from home and occasionally poke through this message board for savage amusement.
I can't beleive there has been such negative reaction to my post. People not only verbally attacking me, but making false assumptions.

If anyone needs to "get a life" it would be the people defending others who think that it is somehow "wrong" or "pompus" to type like you have an IQ above 85.

I would think the one sitting on their ass watching Jerry Springer would be the one who can't spell right.

Some people like to argue a point just for the debate of it even when their point is moot. How can anyone possibly defend terrible spelling and poor use of the english language?

I know what you mean. If I can't make sense of the first sentence, I don't bother reading on.

Answer to question: "Am I an old fart?"

I tend to think you meant this rhetorically, so you can make up your own mind - if you haven't already.

Besides that, you don't make an inquiry, but rather make a statement.

Nice place to vent, what, what?

People make all kinds of excuses about why does it matter about grammer, spelling. The truth is most people are stoopid, lol. People don't know how to write a basic thought. Sad really.
