Guest bob_barron Posted February 7, 2003 Report Posted February 7, 2003 As someone majoring in journalism- grammar and spelling are very very important. We fail if we make one mistake. If I notice a spelling mistake after I post- I will edit it. There are some words I can just NOT spell and I just leave those alone
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Bob, you forgot a period at the end of that last sentence.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 You're responsible for *every* spelling and grammar error in the western world CWM. Fuker. Not ALL of them. Just most.
Guest Sassquatch Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 I knew it all along. Bastich.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Even when I try and think about it beforehand, I manage to gte it wrong like 60% of the time. Typo II: The Irony Continues.. Dames Goddamnit...

There are some words I can just NOT spell and I just leave those alone I read the first part of this as "And smoking marijuana in journalism"... it was interesting.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 BAH! Last time I help you!
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Maybe it's my laid back nature, but we're here to have fun.......why complain about our grammar? When I'm typing a long post I don't want to worry about grammar, just getting my point across. I completely misuse the dots (....) in all my posts, but no one has complained.
Guest treble charged Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Well, you can say that, but then you have somone like the Sayian Prince (or whatever his name was/is) who uses no grammar AT ALL. I don't think people should worry aboutiny spelling and/or grammar mistakes, but good grammar/spelling is still something that people should practice.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 how come did i not use right grammar?
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 All I ask posters to do is break it up into paragraphs so it's easier to read. Nothing is worse than one long paragraph with no breaks.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 All I ask posters to do is break it up into paragraphs so it's easier to read. Nothing is worse than one long paragraph with no breaks. I think racism is slightly worse. And world hunger.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 "HA! That's amusing. I won't even bother editing that one, just to show the irony in it. Dames" This is why I never mention other people's speling or grammer mistakes. Everybody makes them. Heck, wire copy that is being written when a story is breaking always has mistakes in them. It's because of the up-to-the-minute hurry to get the info out. Now textbooks on the other hand...

Guest Sassquatch Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 I am offended by CWM's poor usage of grammar and spelling mistakes.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 I am offended by CWM's poor usage of grammar and spelling mistakes. Sass is of teh ass
Guest DrTom Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 I am offended by CWM's poor usage of grammar and spelling mistakes. I just can't resist. That sentence, as written, means that CWM uses both grammar AND spelling mistakes poorly. I'm not sure how someone can use spelling mistakes poorly, but there is apparently someone who can do just that. "I am offended by CWM's spelling mistakes and poor grammar usage" would have been better. Ok, I'll turn off the English degree again.
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 Hey there are good uses of bad spelling and bad grammar........then there are poor uses.
