Does it matter if you can't spell?
 

Kids these days can't spell. They have no idea what apostrophes are or what they're for. People struggle with simple words, like spelling lose as loose. And as for grammar, forget it.

But does it matter? With the advent of text speak, in 20 years time will conventional spelling be dead? Will English be officially abbreviated? Wat d u thnk?

Why should the little turds even bother to learn when examination authorities allow them to use 'text speak' in English exams? Apparently, it doesn't matter how you spell as long as you can get your point across. Pupils get extra marks for using proper English, but that's a bit arse-over-tit if you ask me.

It matters if you can't spell or have bad grammar if you're trying to advance in your career. No one wants to advance a 2nd grader.

what the fuck are you on about?

People usually come out with the excuse "im just typing on the internet so im not trying" or words to that effect. But you normally see people doing the same stupid shit over and over which suggests they probably havn't a clue in the first place.

Same as mobiles and texting people, normally if i text it'll be the way i type, then i get responses back that look like theyre typed in a fluent form of tard. I know people try and keep them short but sometimes ive honestly no clue wtf theyre trying to say.

when people use "I would of", it pisses me off to no end! It's "I would HAVE!" Ha

Or my favourite "I could care less"



:rolleyes:

Its "I couldn't care less" you fucking brain dead dingleberries.

The ones that most annoy me are too/to or there/their

Grrrrrrrrrrrr F$^@&*^(%$£}!!!

I hate when people use anyways when staring a sentence...its ANYWAY!!!

People are consistently fucking up You're/Your.

Or.....i'm even a victim of this.....alot. It's not alot, it's a lot

We must not teach those kids proper English! That might involve holding them back a grade until they can pass the class and that would hurt their feelings. It also might make their parents angry and get the shit sued out of us if the student is black.

I laid into a Freshman in math class the other day. We were asked to write a paper(which I promptly did not) about a problem we had done in class. I read over his paper and came across a sentence starting with the word and. I don't know why but this pissed me off an I proceeded to call him a dumb ass and a brain dead moron.

Oh, and I still got a passing grade for the paper.

who tries to use proper grammar in a fucking math class? a "paper" about a math problem you did in class is clearly bullshit to begin with, I sure as shit wouldnt have used anything near correct grammar either. AND i would have called you a dumb ass for caring about it.

i fucking hate retards who don't know the difference between you
re and your.

ps- On 92bengals I have a wordfilter for "alot" that filters into "a lot" laawl!
