Where-ever did these young turks get the idea that bad grammar is “in”? Sure, when you say out loud,“i feel like nobudy iz lisning to meeeeee!”, we can get from your inflection and facial expression the meaning of the statement, but these are not available on the internet. People, _please_ try to remember Rule #1 of Communication:If “they” didn’t understand you, you ain’t communicating! ---

Just another sign of the decline in American education since those damn Liberals took flogging out of the schools. ---

I was educated long after the discontinuation flogging, and I have no problems with spelling or grammar. This is because I’m not a moron. ---

_duplicate of a post made in the Love Spell thread_ > [@](#): > > Oh yes and this thing about grammar. Is this a discussion forum or a fucking English class? COntent Content so I failed keyboarding. Lest start another thread abot that ok? Yes, it’s a discussion board (Actually, if you bothered reading the descriptions of the forums, you might have noticed this is the BBQ Pit. If you want a discussion, you might try posting in the correct forum, such as General Questions (to discuss facts), Great Debates (to discuss opinions) or Comments on Cecil’s Columns (to discuss the columns, which some of your posts seem to be addressed towards.)) but you might have noticed that the discussions are made up of these things called words and sentences. If you use little or no correct punctuation, grammar and spelling, as you have done, no one can understand what you are saying. how ezy ix ths santecne to unnerstan how bt th won stl think tht correk speelng nd grrmmrr nda punkation rnt mprtnt imgn if evry sngl pst i wrt or evn evry postt on th bord was lke ths how exy wold itbe to reed evn won theard WHAT YOU say yours isnt as bad as the pargraph abov prhaps this won is a litle closr to you postng but its stil hard too read isnt it just face it, if yu want peeple to unnerstand wat yu r writin yu need to make an effort to make yor writin readable wich means use corect spelling corect grammer corect punctution CORRECT CAPItlztion no mater how much yu think it doesnt mater, it stil does ---

Okay, I think I read all of the posts concerning this, and have drawn an intelligent, logical conclusion based on the information in these threads. Its hard to type coherently when you have a broomstick up your ass. ---

Brithael admits to failing keyboarding. My observations lead me to conclude that typing is the least of his/her problems. It’s apparent to me this poor dumb bastard has also failed every English class ever taken. I did very poorly in typing class also, but that doesn’t prevent me from expressing myself clearly. Correct usage of punctuation, capitalization and verb tense is not derived from keyboarding skills, rather it stems from a firm grasp of the rules of grammar. Brithael, you may leave now. ---

Hmm…am I the only one getting the feeling that Brithael is doing it on purpose. A few of his misspellings are just too far off-kilter. ‘seet’? ‘luke’??? ‘Buasy’? Sheesh! * * * ‘They couldn’t hit an Elephant from this dist…!’ Last words of General John Sedgwick ---

I too caught a foul whif… Look,if this is a ‘loverock’ thing again…please drop it! Most of us come here to converse intelligently with other adults… there is a reason they dont put young children on the board…because they would be annoying!!! I miss melin,quadell, and I havnt seen much of papabear,tomndebb,minty(phil :))and so many of the regulars…instead,we get heatherlee-a poster for what? a whole day? oh, and her brilliant posse! now we see a loverock-witch-wannabe, and this banshee/he person… look, I am all for new blood(hell, I was new once too)…OfficeGirl is witty and coherent in her posts, and she starts a good thread…but to the rest of you morons lurking out there…fuck off! Dont join just to rant or spew for a day…It is like walking in to a party, taking a piss and then a beer on your way out…RUDE!!! Lurk, read, and if you feel like you can converse on a non-moron level…please!Come into the party, put your feet up and have some dip! \ ***The opinions above are mine alone,I do not feel I necessarily speak for the others** ---

I’d give Kelli a “You go, girl!” too, except … uh … well … I do think she ought to work a bit on her capitalization and punctuation. 😉 * * * I’m not flying fast, just orbiting low. ---

I thought he did it on purpose that time just to be sarcastic, like, “You think I type bad? I’ll show you **BAD**.” I didn’t get any loverock whiff from that one, myself. * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-brithael-cant-type/2272.md?page=2)
