"True, but is it that important in a profile??" It was a joke,but yes good grammar is always important. Why should folk let standards drop just beacause they are sending an email or posting on here? | |||

"True, but is it that important in a profile?? It was a joke,but yes good grammar is always important. Why should folk let standards drop just beacause they are sending an email or posting on here?" Sadly, you're missing the point. Some have no standards to drop! What you see is pretty much it. | |||

"wasnt being droll in the slightest , no commas or full stops inserted, therefore didnt know where one sentence stopped and another began , made reading difficult. Just my opinion." but you actually managed to read it enough to comment showing how much better then me you are exactly my point its all snobbery is punctuation really that important? i'm sitting on my sofa with the lappy on the arm typing with one hand i really can't be arsed to try and bend my hand into odd shapes to use shift just so you and others don't judge me as an imbecile. please note i used a full stop just to try n please u | |||

"I'm particular about my own spelling and grammar, but I try not to pick holes in other people's, I too have dyslexic friends. Most of the time I'd rather read what people have to say on the forums, not worry about how grammatically correct it is or how they spell it. I've said before on the forums. To hear what someone has to say you just have to listen harder. Maybe, just maybe, you'll learn something. xxxx " i really need a clapping emote and a thumbs up emote right now very well said couldn't agree more xxxxxxxxxx | |||

Bows down to Queen View I can never see the point of trying to put someone down in here for their spelling,punctuation or grammar,if I can work out whats been written then thats good enough for me It makes me cringe when people don't answer a question and just pick a post apart for no other reason than?......well what is the reason anyway?

"When ive been at work all day, i come on here to relax and I just cant be bothered with ensuring there are appropriate capitals or that the grammar is 100% correct. No excuse today of course, I havent been at work, but the same applies, im on my pc, just typing on a swinging forum, its not my dissertation or a project or report for work, therefore I cant be arsed. Of course I would never write a report without punctuation or with incorrect grammar " my sentiments exactly hun. am the worlds worst for not using capitals on here. cant be arse. but in work would get a bollicking for doing a medical report without them. and if i was judged by my capitals on here, i would just say....do i look like i give a Fuck | |||

I can't believe you mean that just because nasty things happen in the world, we should all dumb down! Perhaps if we did that, all would be well in places of violence, no one would starve and knife crime would dissapear! The post above with no capitalisation or punctuation of any kind was almost impossible to read, which means that persons _iew doesn’t get read by all and their _iew is lost! As has been shown on this post, wrong punctuation can lead to totally different meanings for exactly the same words. That in turn can lead to misunderstandings that in itself could lead to violence! | |||
