    No, not everyone is perfect but why are you so against using proper spelling and grammar? It's not a difficult thing to learn or do.

    I will never mention it again. I already mostly skip your posts because it is often difficult to figure out exactly what you're trying to say. Have a nice day!

    I have no problem understand you my friend. Though I do understand others views on it.
    If that's how you are comfortable typing the way you do. Then keep doing it, IMHO.
    You could try using "proper" English, if you'd like but, no one is forcing you too.

    Just post math. It is the universal language, and requires no grammar.

    That would be, 'to'.

    Are you really starting a rant thread asking people why they have an issue with your laziness (and sorry, but to me, it seems intentional on your part) that results in difficult to read posts?

    Honestly...if you have an issue with people giving you crap about your posts, you have two options...either look at your post before hitting reply and use your spell check... or don't post (I'm sure there's forums out there with 13 year olds that wouldn't mind it). Seems pretty easy to me.

    Hi Goldenskull.

    I have also noticed the spelling and punctuation errors, but I never mentioned it.
    I realize that you are doing the best that you can.

    Whoever told you that you need to learn to "type" is also imperfect and could also be corrected.
    It's the spelling and punctuation that's the issue, not typing.

    I have been guilty of "correcting" some people occasionally, and afterwards wish I hadn't.
    It's kind of a Compulsive thing, which is annoying to me as well as others.

    Don't worry about it too much.


    LOL

    This could get to be Fun. :-D

    I'll admit, I know I sometimes that spell words wrong, especially if it's a word I don't use them in everyday life but I at least try to make my post have some sort of semblance. If you have difficultly with spelling or grammar, that's ok. A lot of people do but like Laura pointed out, you seem to do it purposely and just assume people "know what you mean". Well, some will and some won't and you could be missing out on pertinent information that person has to share with you but they just don't have the time to dissect your post.

    Honestly, it's really not that hard to use proper spelling and grammar on the internet when there are spelling/grammar checkers built into most web browsers. :-D

    I edit my posts at least 35 times before I am done. Usually to correct grammar. :-D
     
  13. dyamond

    dyamond Imelda Marcos of Majorgeeks

    I do too. I have a tendency to leave entire words out of sentences especially if I'm typing really fast. My fingers and brain aren't always on the same level. :-D
     
  14. Adrynalyne

    Adrynalyne Guest

    My latest trend is to type in broke english and used wrong tenses of words.

    Edit:

    Then I go back and fix it before anyone notices.


    ^^^

    Yes, that was quite intentional :-D
     
  15. Goldenskull

    Goldenskull I can't follow the rules

    I am really not all that bad but i am kinda getting tired of serton people here telling me learn to type.And like i said i am not all that bad of a typer just be cause i do not know where to put serton things in serton spots does not mean i am a bad typer.

    And yes this does get kinda annoying when it is kinda directed at me.When there are other people that do type bad.

    But like i said i do not seem to have this issue on any other forums.And my typing is 70% i would say.I do type over 60+ a min.I am not saying that Every body here is teasing me but there are a couple that are kinda ticking me off a little.Im not going to say who.

    Im not trying to rant too much just trying to say back off a little.As long as you can read it then you should not complain about the person's typing skills.Only time you should complain is when you can not read it.And it is pretty obvious people can read my typing.

    This is all i am going to say.

    Although I post occasional typos (who doesn't?), I also use the spell check function (the check mark with the letters ABC above it at the top right of the message box) before I post. If you've never used it before, it will prompt you to download and install free spell check software.

    It keepss yor posts frm looking lik that bilboard the cow caries in the Chk-Fill-A ads. :-D

    I just put serton in google translator to see of you were calling us all some nasty thing in a foreign language. :-D

    But really?...you do that crap on purpose, don't you? You do realize we are all old (old being over 16) and don't want to spend time trying to decipher poor spelling and grammar, right?

    Like I tell my kids...70% equals failure in my book. ;)

    dyamond Imelda Marcos of Majorgeeks

    Please tell you did this ^^ facetiously? because if not, this is exactly what people are talking about. At first I was like, serton?? :confused then I said oh, he means certain. It has nothing at all to do with your typing. It's all about SPELLING, GRAMMAR & PUNCTUATION. If you don't care, that's fine but don't get upset if people can't/don't/won't help you because they don't have the time to try and figure out what your talking about.

    I can type 65 WPM and make sense, I never took typing lessons or had classes, I taught myself. Don't feel like you just have to type fast because everyone else can. It would be much better for you (and everyone else) if you slowed down, thought about what you wanted to say, typed it out, proof-read it and THEN posted. Then fix any errors before the 5 minute timer runs out like I do. :-D

    Well, despite a University education, I am not the world's best speller. Most are just silly typos than anything else, (hey, I majored in Chemistry and Physics, not Literature :p). Typing, I basically learned in my old army days, of all things, (teletype, etc.).
    The purpose of typing a message, is to have it read, (i.e. communicate), right? Well, you're not communicating well if people have to scratch their heads in order to work out what you're babbling about, i.m.o. Is it really that hard to look at what words are underlined in red, that the spell-check says is wrong?
    I disagree with rudeness and arrogance, I get your drift there. But I don't see what's so difficult about using a spell-checker, either, i.m.h.o.

    Garble is a mystery: Is he a foreigner with only tenuous grasp of English? Is he on drugs? Does he suffer a serious mental debility? Is he typing wearing boxing gloves? Garble's rampant typos, malapropisms and execrable grammar can't be blamed solely on poor typing skills. Garble is all the more puzzling because if one manages to hack his way through the tangled muddle of his messages a discernable idea will often emerge. For example, in a forum discussion about a painting he might say, "Sorry the picchr the har is wrog. The culir. I liike the lips bot teh Paintng is sucs". When someone refers to his random capitalization Garble might say something like, "oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK". Garble drives Grammarian and Nitpick absolutely nuts, but he disdains all efforts at correction, and if complaints persist he will indignantly sign exit saying, "yuor forum si stupef. bYE!" HINT: Garble may be Net Rat.

    Slow down, wpm means nothing if its not correct. Also majorgeeks is not "other forums" majorgeeks is one of the best tech support sites on the internet and stays that way by maintaining quality support. Im telling you this as a friend, its really hard to use your info, which often times is very good. We regulars know your advice is pretty good, but first time posters dont have much to go on.

    Also, adry, omg yes! thats exactly how i picture Fred_G.

    We are mainly a support forum. People come to us to solve their computer issues. It becomes very doubtful that they will take advice from someone who can not bother to spell correctly. It reflects poorly on our quality of help. :major

    Your at a crossroad Goldenskull. On the left side the forum beckons but the gradient rises steeply so it'll take some work. On the right side the road drops of sharply and descends into a tunnel requiring no effort just a flick of the wheel.

    I think everyone who post's here has had to make this decision at some point "I did."and most people don't get the benefit of sign post's warning that forums are not a battle of wills,the traffic flows one way.

    Blue pill or red pill,time to choose-:-D

    Because I'm English I'm automatically awarded grammatical license,I could fart and it's still English:-D

    Plus half my laptop keyboard doesn't work due to a coffee spill,it takes me an hour to post a few sentences. I know I'll fix it rolleyes

    Please correct me though I'm intrigued and willing to learn:confused I'm sure whatever I posted Adryn would have been along soon:-D

    Not sure if you're serious or not, but I've got some time to kill while these updates download, so why not. :-D I wasn't calling you out (honestly, I thought you might have done it on purpose, but I forgot about that automatic license that comes with being English :p ). LOL

    You're at a crossroads, Goldenskull. On the left side the forum beckons, but the gradient rises steeply so it'll take some work. On the right side, the road drops off sharply and descends into a tunnel requiring no effort, just a flick of the wheel.

    Didn't we ban you already, mmmm I guess it was for only a month! need to fix that spewwling error im the bwan servwer.

    I would never start a rant you cannot defend ever, it will on the interweb be jumped on so hard and fast your heart would pop! plus you really get the attention of forum and web admins with a rant, we don't like them and especially if they are null and void to the site, personal stuff is your domain and not ours.

    Like Barry AKA Phantom I'm university educated and also spell or more so type with 4 fingers way too quickly but I do use spellcheck in the main to make sure I'm near 99% there, its not a criticism but you can tell those that accidently type too quickly and miss spell too those that well just don't.

    Grammar and Spelling is a major thing these days in getting a job and also being successful in that job, you need and I know I need to be 99% perfect as my work is medical docs and papers so they to be correct and these days it not hard as computing will do this for you.
