Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
i dnt agree wiv tlkin in txt tlk cos it makes evrythin hard to read innit
Ok, thats a poor attempt. But I do like it if people write properly; the spellings dont all have to be correct, and the mis-typed letter here and there is ok, because its not hard to hit the y instead of the t key! Well, not for me anyway. But I like the posts to be legible; you can always tell a new young person on the forums, because they leave posts in the same way they leave their freinds a message on myspace! Spelling and grammar is important, but as long as its almost all correct I dont mind a few mistakes here and there; after all, Im far from perfect. Matt |
Re: Spelling, Grammar and the like.
The importance of the correct use of English grammar, punctuation and spelling is dependant upon the target audience.
My youngest son has dyslexia. For him, it is more important that he communicates. For many years, he was criticised by his teachers for his poor reading, writing and spelling. Not until he was given a statement of special educational needs was anyone prepared to make an allowance for him. My eldest is reasonably bright and working on a career in law. For her, the nuances of language, implications of incorrect punctuation etc. Could result in very expensive claims. In my own defence. Where I make spelling mistakes it is generally because I am not a proficient typist and look at the keyboard, rather than screen. This generally results in spelling mistakes, where the correct letters are there, just in the wrong order. So, I voted yes, accurate spelling and grammar are important. However, if somebody can please tell me where to find a spell checker on the reply form. I would appreciate it. |

So do I. Not only that, I text my brother in Welsh, in order to practise. (Welsh not texting!). So who needs to get a life? :oops:
