Re: The correct way to respond to misspelling and grammar
Spelling and grammar are one thing, format and effort are another. I take at least 10 minutes to make a post to any public forum - I read, reread, rereread each post. It takes effort, I know, and I appreciate it when others hold themselves to the same or a higher standard.
Whenever someone points out a spelling or a grammar mistake in my post, I wonder if they understood its contents and the message I was trying to convey, and whether they deserve a response. If I spot a mistake in someone else's post, but it looks like they put effort and thought into it, I'll ignore the error (although, it has to be pretty darn major if I'm spotting it ).If it appears that they literally hammered it out in under a minute, I'll ignore it and not respond. an wen ppl tlk liek dis it menas dat dey dont kar @ all an mebe r byond hlp so u shud nt repond |

Re: The correct way to respond to misspelling and grammar
FWIW, spelling errors are almost never worth the bandwidth.
Grammar error, OTOH, sometimes opens posts to humorous interpretation and presents (to me at least) an irresistible opportunity to correct the poster and have a little fun at the same time. Corrections should always be done with respect tho', the writer may well be an English teacher who just slipped up. |

Re: The correct way to respond to misspelling and grammar
Sorry, this is so easy to get right that it's inexcusable to get it wrong.
This is a picture of Daisy May... This is a picture of I... If either of those sentences sounds wrong to you, then so should this one. This is a picture of Daisy May and I. |
