Does it bother you to see posts with terrible spelling/grammar?

Question

It's like nails on a chalkboard for me to see things like "my friend and I seen it" or to see misspelling of basic words. This is true for me not just here but everywhere; online, in writing, etc... Am I alone?

Answer

Not everything. "Wen u type lik dis" though, that pisses me off. Or when people type "ghetto" I hate that. But if it's a simple thing it doesn't bother me.

Answer

It bothers me but I'm not so ignorant to jump to conclusions about people because of it. Not everyone has access to education, and English isn't everyone's first language.

Answer

I understand typos and some common errors, but some writing is so bad I cannot even tell what they are trying to say!

For example I keep seeing "convince" only to discover people mean "conceive." It means something completely different!

Answer

Yes!

Answer

It doesn't bother me. I make typos all the time and sometimes my fingers are slower than my thoughts. Also, this site and many others are internationally used. This means that there are many ppl on here trying to write English even though it is not their first language.

Answer

I don't really, because I don't know these people. They might just have another first language.

Answer

I'm a grammar teacher, so of course it bothers me 😊

Answer

The only reason it bothers me is when I actually can't comprehend the post hahah then i usually just skip it.

Answer

It does bother me, honestly (talking aside from things I can tell are written by someone who is not English as a first language, that's different). Some of the posts are so poorly written, I can't even make out what is attempting to be said. If it's that badly written, I won't respond. Yes, I am a grammar Nazi, not sorry lol. It's the curse of being raised by a school teacher!!

Answer

It does bother me but I also have horrible spelling and grammar. English isn't my first language and eight years into exclusively speaking English I still have trouble.
