Suggestions, comments, and concerns should go here.
no subject
- Yes, there are debatable specifics regarding the grammatical rules. I had a teacher try to tell me that I used too many commas, but none of the commas I used were arbitrarily placed for the sake of sticking commas in there. My boyfriend once argued with me on where end punctuation goes when there are parentheses involved, and the information we found contradicted what he was taught. Yes, I understand that language evolves, and I generally don't bother with attacking people for their own logical interpretations of specifics. However, there are some very solid rules that a lot of people agree on, and it's mostly those rules that I judge people on. I'm sure everyone will agree that "you're" is a contraction for "you are," and "your" is not.
- That example was aimed at the people who bitch at Grammar Police by saying, "This isn't English class/school, so what does it matter?" I didn't mean to imply that everything outside of academia was informal.
- I did mean to include a clause regarding things such as Twitter and SMS. There's also a reason I've sworn to never join Twitter. I can't stand "txt tlk" even though I understand the necessity for it in that situation. Unless the Tweeters (Twits?) are mixing up homonyms like "here" and "hear," (I'm looking at you, Misha Collins) I think it's useless to even bother being bothered by it.
- I never meant to imply that a great majority of ESL students had a better grasp than a great majority of native speakers. I know English is a difficult language. It's just that I've interacted with some very articulate people who learned English as a second language later in life, and I've interacted with people (my own parents included) that have spoken and written English all their lives and still mix up "your" and "you're."
- It would be great. If I could just berate people into wanting to educate themselves, I'd be a much bigger internet bully than I am. But I know that's not the case. It's why I'm going into being an English teacher, so I can educate people instead of ignoring them.
- Handwriting, especially in personal correspondence, is one of those places where I wouldn't be judgmental. Much. I don't always spell things correctly when I write by hand, and my thoughts are always disorganized and scattered. It's why I prefer typing. But again, that sort of situation is understandable. There's no spell-check for pen and paper. But most web browsers nowadays have spell-check. LJ has spell-check. Word has spell-check. There's a lovely site called dictionary.com where people can go to look up words to make sure they're using them correctly. (I've learned the hard way that taking the time to use a dictionary is worth it to not have people jump down my throat for misusing a word.)
- Again, typos are understandable. I've made my fair share in the past, and will make more in the future. I don't usually nitpick at typos. I nitpick at the complete and utter disregard to even try.
