Then funny thing is, when I wrote that message, I knew you’d comment on it.
I think I’ll try to get a job as a fortuneteller because of this. Plus I can tell the exact time when CoD: BLOPS will crash for me (all the time that is).
oh hi
Language is used to convey information and ideas. Sure its nice if the grammar is bang on perfect, but there really isn’t any “proper” English. “Proper English” today is massively different from “Proper English” 100 years ago, and 100 years prior to that and so on.
As long as the reader gets your point, it’s good enough.
I would say to have ‘good english’, it’s better to have sentences that are structured and flow well rather than sentences that are grammatically correct.

Not if you don’t wish to alienate your readers or look like an illiterate jackass, no.
The other day I saw someone on youtube spell “immense” as “ammence”, and after I finally managed to figure out what s/he meant, I formed a very clear opinion of their level of education and intellect. Assuming one doesn’t mind that, go right ahead, mis-spell all over the place, but don’t expect people to take you seriously.
I left several guilds/clans in the past where the leaders were entirely incapable of typing a single sentence without any mistakes, it drives me nuts. It’s like taking the bus/subway without brushing your teeth in the morning or taking a shower. And these people breed, it makes me sad. I could go on about “society” abandoning all sorts of “values” fast, but to what end?
There are no excuses for not re-reading a post, not using spell-check, etc. These sort of people are goat-molesting hillbillies to me, no matter how you try to justify it. I will switch over to speaking spanish instead once someone decides it is now “proper” to use “your” for everything.
This thread is derailing! None of that “hurr but they can understand what it means riight?” bullshit please <3
Thread title.
Now come forth, aspiring rapists of the English language!

Write your sentence. Go do something else. Come back to read your sentence. If it sounds wrong, add commas where you’d pause in speech.
