Is getting increasingly atrocious in here.
I understand that a message board isn't a text book and that the format's conversational nature should both encourage and tolerate a certain sense of freedom. Casual and relaxed phrasing, as well as idiomatic word choice, can be both clever and fun to read. I get that. Which is why I have specifically avoided being a y grammar nazi within specific threads.
But, Jesus people, I can't even keep track of how often I have recently had to read and re-read a part of someone's post in order to glean any semblance of coherent thought.
Commas. Commas would go a long way toward fixing this problem. , I'd be happy with any form of punctuation, even if used incorrectly. As a rule of thumb, it is always helpful to read your post out loud -- there should be some form of punctuation inserted anywhere you pause in your reading. It is necessary to ensure that your post reads as an actual statement or question, rather than a random, unrelated collection of words thrown at the screen.
Srsly.

Well said ( and well written)!
I'm awful.
I'll try harder.
Heavy set girl like you should be more worried about counting calories than counting grammar errors.

I've been accused of using too many commas....
You couldn't fix your mistakes if you tried. Too uneducated.
Penis enlargement pills don't actually really work, so you can't very well fix yourself either

I think your first statement should have read "It is getting increasingly atrocious in here." Practice what you preach.
Uh oh, now you asked for it....
you brought out Nesterofish
Here's some real common ones:
your/you're Your means possessive - I like your car. You're means you are; such as you're going to need a new car.
their/they're Same thing as above
to/too I'm going to the store. You are too stupid to understand.
Poor grammar is a pet peeve of mine.
Awesome.
It's an abomination.
comma, comma, comma, commalean......
I say this belongs in Katy's thread...
It doesn't bother me all that much but then my uneducated ass more often than not can't tell the difference.
uh - you're wrong. Grammar is the first word of her sentence - but I guess if you want to be picky, she shouldn't have capitalized is.
Oooh, quite a few big words have been used in this thread.
This thread is right up your alley. You should be more loquacious in itOooh, quite a few big words have been used in this thread.
I agree with you wholeheartedly CF because punctuation is used way too much in this forum by people who have no idea when to throw in a period or comma or question mark and will continue to throw out big words like they know what they are talking about but pay no attention to whatsoever to their punctuation I mean how can they be on the computer and hold down jobs with out even using proper grammar I bet at work they have to have everything looked over before it goes out like this one lady I work with who simply cannot spell she always makes mistakes and I have no idea why they still let her do what she does because if I were the boss I would have let her go a long time ago but with the way the economy is maybe I would let her stay too because she is a single mother and needs to be able to feed her kids but I would at least bring it to her attention or something or have her sit with someone to see how they do things first maybe she will catch on and correct her mistakes but how often does that happen in life because for the most part once we are set in our ways that is it and we are blind to the way anyone else does anything because we automatically think we are right it goes with the whole old dog new tricks saying that old people like to say but when I get old I will be saying other things that younger people will think is weird like Fo shizzle and off the hook come to think of it it already sounds funny to me it's crazy how in a matter of years bling bling went from something cool to something old white people say to feel cool speaking of cool the weather is great outside and I hope it gets colder soon I wish I was outside instead of stuck here at work.
