What do you think of....

[Junrall]

No vote here... I tend to be non judgmental about grammar.
It doesn't annoy me in any way. If I can understand the point being made then why should I be upset about it?

I don't think good or bad grammar is an overall reflection of a person's intelligence... it is only a sliver of of the whole.

[Error]

Bad grammar doesn't make you less of a person, or even lazy. Sometimes it's just easier. I've known a ton of people that are incredibly intelligent that type like a damn idiot. I feel it's honestly internet culture to be that way. Some of us may choose not to do so, but it's almost everywhere now.

I am confused on what to think of it. It is definitely getting worse, Or others may look at it as a spread of an easier English language, Which I guess would be good to them.

We goto school and learn the rules of English. We are supposed to apply what we learn in school, to real life. We don't just learn it for nothing. Yet, people go on the internet and Ignore everything they learned... Just doesn't make sense.

The English language of today wasn't something that was suddenly developed! It evolved from many different sources of the past... including lazy use of words and slang words. This is true of all languages today.

Now we have the internet... a place where millions of people communicate with one another... each expressing themselves in unique ways.
Quite possibly there is an evolutionary change happening right now... in how we communicate with one anther via the internet! Imagine what proper grammar will be like in 75 years! How many years before the internet (Or something similar) unifies most languages into a single "common" language! (I vote for the Klingon language!)

I find it interesting that you, the topic starter has at least 3 grammar / spelling misstakes in that post, and at least 5 in your signature. If there is any grammar / spelling misstakes in what I just typed then that's because English isn't my native language.
What's your excuse?

[Spirit]

No problem if it sounds weird (hey, I am not a native speaker and often write stupid things), no problems if there are spelling mistakes. But people who "r typing lik this 2 u" immediately end up in the "ignore or backseat troll"-drawer of my perception.

It's worth writing in a coherent and honest language.

Like I said earlier, It is the attempt to use proper grammar. We are all human, and we all make mistakes, but if you don't even attempt to try; that's what bugs me.

I have to say it now: I lost four posts while trying to answer this because of having to relogin and my browser forgetting the content of the form.

A longer timeout before re-login would be good.

[Downsider]

I really hate when people mention grammar or spelling, period. Especially so when they use a half-proper version of it that looks retarded and they think it's perfect.

Grammar and spelling ensures a greater chance of reader perception matching the intent of your message. Not caring about that perception's accuracy shows the care with which the message came from.

I like the Quake themed insult thread.

What timeout?

[Feared]

That sounds more like a browser setting issue.
Turn on cache/cookies.

I've been logged into Inside3D for several days if not weeks so it's not an issue with the site. (I use Google chrome, by the way)

I'm having the same problem, too. Doesn't look like exactly a timeout, it's more like the session is lost for some reason, since I observed it just after a successful login at least once. And, coincidence or not, it started to me just after the DNS trouble last week. I am using Firefox with cookies enabled.

I agree that typing carefully and trying to improve your English is showing respect to the person(s) you're talking to.

The IE I'm currently using sometimes loses the text in the text field after I try to preview a post, but am prompted to login again.

I wonder why the session is lost, as frag.machine says.

My usual Firefox keeps the text, but the login prompt also appears a lot.

I sometimes take quite a while to write a post.
