Every time I make a thread no matter what there is some kid that points out the littlest mistake in my grammar . I was just wondering what good dose this do? are you just trying to be a ass hole? It is a skiing web site should you focus be more on commenting about skiing than being a ass.
 
does*

Just kidding. Yes I think the majority of NS'ers are American. They are probably just bored ...
 
Op's american. What the fuck does nationality have to do with it? It must be that americans are more superior in all fields than the rest of the world, isn't it? /argument starter
 
You write like you're 6 years old and it's extremely distracting. You have two options:
1. Grow up and ignore it.2. Grow up and learn to speak like the government pays for you to be forced to learn to read.
 
Just a guess from this thread alone, but it's probably because you seriously need to improve your reading and writing skills.

It's bigger than this being "a skiing website." It's the fact that I literally want to punch myself in the face reading this title/post.

Is that how you talk? With mis-conjugated verbs and missing words? Then why write like you are a caveman? If you plan on being homeless, then fine don't worry about it. No one is being an ass, just being honest. Sorry.
 
Sorry, I didn't notice OP was American. That just makes it worse, he can't even conjugate "to do".
 
I am a quite gifted righter I am in ap english as a freshmen. I just find my self not giving a shit wen righting a 2 sentence reply on the internet.
 
wow, this thread is full of geniuses.

Everyone should cut him some slack if English isn't his first language. But it is.... sooo.... yeah.
 
This is an example of something that has nothing to do with time or being too lazy to double check.

You flat out wrote the wrong word. And the correct word is actually SHORTER....
 
Jesus fucking christ. Now you're making yourself sound repulsive. I cannot believe you are in an AP English class. Spelling is spelling regardless if its on the internet or not.

Oh and to static, I was being sarcastic with that post.
 
It's annoying and hard to expect thoughtful responses or advice when you don't have the decency to proofread what you're about to post.

Threads that start out like, "ZOMG shuld i get da new full tilt booters or hotdoggers?r", make me immediately click the back button. Your intelligence is directly reflected on what you type on this forum, like it or not. Type like a jackass, and you deserve to be treated like one.
 
Every time I make a thread there is always someone (less assuming word choice) who points out the smallest (better word) mistake in my grammar. I wonder (shorter, better word) what point or goal this meets? (better sound (in my opinion))

This (answers the 'who' left in "it is") is a skiing website (not two words). Why don't people focus more on the content of their posts rather than being an ass? (adding the question mark signifies that this is not a rant, but an actual question)

To answer your question: I am bored, I have just finished watching 4 hours of House, and I am an ass.

Your friendly neighbourhood ass-hole

The first thing that jumped out at me about your post, after the grammatical errors, was that it is vaguely worded.

Saying that proper grammar and spelling don't make you sound like a total fucking retard is well and all, but it would have been more precise to say that proper spelling and grammar make you sound like you aren't a total fucking retard.

They also help you convey your message. Technically there's nothing wrong with "...helps you get points across" but again, vagueness is a culprit to be wary of.
 
To answer your question, no. I am an English minor.

Downplay the importance of grammar in written communication all you want, but it will still be the first way people judge you if you're not talking to them in person. For me, somebody making basic mistakes in written form is somewhat akin to having a conversation where the other person intermittently adds "durrrrrrr" throughout whatever they're saying.
 
shit, i was not paying attention to the fact that write has an e on the end so you actually have to add one letter.

me - 0

other homie who i falsely corrected and aenigma - 1

 
Just kids need be lernin' ta speak cuys if you dont the college wont except your and then it harder to find a jobs when u grow up n u dont wunt 2 be a bum do u so defenately lern 2 sppek weel.
 
surprised no one has pointed out the thread title yet... "is everY kid on ns aN english major or something (should be no space)"
 
yee whaaiiyy ddeeeewieie peeepopeles eereevern carrrrz abut meeeyyy weeey taaat iii choese two right cuz itz my lyfe idyitzz
 
i'm sorry but it's really distracting and annoying to read even your first post in this thread. how can you not know that it's "aN asshole" or "aN english major"??? i mean really.. it has nothing to do with people "being english majors"
 
You can't make fun of him or you'll feel bad, but pointing out his mistakes is still in line— after all, if it's only to help him be a better member, then it's OK, right?
 
Proper spelling and grammar is going to be a huge bonus once you go to college or start looking for a job...
Last year at college, a friend of mine wrote a 15page paper about rock tectonics in western France and got sent back home from his presentation because his opening page contained a spelling mistake ....
Or lets say you're an excellent carpenter and you're applying for a job somewhere, and your résumé starts with a huge spelling/grammatical error, even if your credentials are very good, you're gonna come off like retard and probably miss out on the job because someone else wrote without errors ....So if someone shits on you for bad spelling/grammar, try to learn from the mistake and i'm sure you'll thank him/her/them later .....
That being said, i'm Belgian, i don't speak English for shit and it amuses me when i can correct Americans/Brits/Canadians on spelling or grammar mistakes, it gives me a raging boner !:)
 
Grammar is an important part of life, if you want to have a successful future in a career you should be intellectually up to date. If you make yourself look uneducated by spelling a couple easy words wrong, you are unlikely to pursue a good paying career, so instead of making yourself look like you have the IQ of a 12 year old.. Make yourself look presentable and acceptable to the rest of the population over the internet, don't make an asshole out of yourself and our society. Seeing people spell the way they do makes me think what the fuck they are thinking, learn how spell in a correct format, nobody likes reading anything that doesnt make sense.. Its something to think about :)
 
To me it's kind of a love-hate thing. A lot of people on this site don't check profile's so they don't know I'm Finnish (although I bring that out in like 1/4 of my posts). It just kind of makes me sad that foreign people are one-upping them in spelling and grammar.
