I misread. I thought you were someone else likes Ron. But that couldn't be true.

good article. I loved this bit:

"People have built a bit of their self-image on the idea that 'I'm a smart person even though I don't care about grammar,'" he said. "I poked their bubble, and they lashed out."

[decadence5423]

I understand what this guy is getting at. I don't really care how other people write as long as there is some effort. My grammar isn't perfect but I at least capitalize and use full words.

I mean...

dmn that atricle mad kewl yo he weas all like bitch you talk like shit now gtfo

"The person who has decided to not care about grammar is not the kind of person I want to work with," Wiens said. "I understand missing a comma, but if you use 'to,' 'too' and 'two' incorrectly, it shows me you have no idea what you're talking about. There's a very big difference between a typo and something that makes it clear you're fundamentally incompetent."

"...something that makes it clear you're fundamentally incompetent."

I think I have a man-crush.

Grammar is important I agree with his approach.

[Rsmacker]

Grammar is important, I agree with his approach.

Fixed that for you.

[VitaminG]

Fixed that for you.

hahaHaha..

[MetalDaze]

Fixed that for you.

Actually, I think either a period or semicolon would work, but not a comma. Unless the Queen's English allows for such a thing

[decadence5423]

Yes, they are two separate statements. The comma should be a period.

[xenophobe]

All of you are HIRED!!

I've actually thrown away job applications for things like txt speak and horrible spelling.

[Scooter]

I love it.

And I agree with all of it.

I totally agree with him! When I see craigslist ad's for stuff, you always see a bunch of dip shit's that can't even spell what their selling. I was selling some stuff and some guy sent me an email that said, "ill be buy to get dem."

They guy came by and he was exactly the way I thought he would be. Totally ghetto!

Maybe you should work harder yourself. Ads and dip shits have no need for an apostrophe. And THEIR is also not the word you're trying to use in this context. It's THEY'RE (they are).
