Why do some folks think if you have bad grammer then you must be dumb?

Because we judge each other by how well we communicate. If you can't pick up on the most effective method of communication for your audience, then ... well...

I have asked myself that question. Some spelling is so bad I read it more than once thinking it is a joke.\n\nI do the same with some of the questions that people ask. I am by far not a genius, but I wasn't aware of the number of people that are totally ignorant. I am not trying to be cruel or mean by saying that.  It's a fact that I had not thought about before.

Maybe you are being a little over sensitive and some people are just mean. As for grammar skills pay attention and you will learn them and you are right not everyone knows everything that is for sure though they certainly like to believe that they do.\n Keep your question short and to the point and check your spelling it won't hurt you. If you are unsure if the word is spelled wrong then put a (sp?) after it. YOU know someone will correct it for you. Good Luck and don't let the pettiness get you down

I think some must be speakers of another language and their english is the second or third language they speak.  Because alot of times it is not just spelling  errors but every other grammatical faus pax you can commit.

OK, I'll 'fess up.  I do it sometimes.  It drives me crazy seeing people make the same grammatic or typographic errors all the time...but that's not to say I'm perfect.  I would hope someone would correct me if I erred (and on occasion, they have), but I see it as an attempt to help someone communicate better.\n\nI've seen what poor grammar, limited vocabulary, and spelling can result in...people not getting a job they really want or getting stuck in a dead end one, not being taken seriously when trying to communicate with other people or being misunderstood because they just don't have the language skills to get their meaning across.  This is of course not true in all cases, but if someone along the way had corrected them each time they were wrong instead of letting the error go, they'd probably be communicating a lot better by now.\n\nYes, probably some people do it to feel better about themselves and you can usually tell that that's their motive in the way they do it when they belittle a person while correcting them. But I'd bet that there are just as many people who correct others, and try to do it in a supportive, constructive way, because it's our responsibility as neighbors, brothers and sisters, as human beings to do what we can to help someone else, even in this small way.  What good is having knowledge if you don't at least try to pass it on?

chiding people for being poor spellers when you (and i, for that matter) play fast and loose with capitalization rules makes you look kind of silly...\n\ni don't use spell checker cos i'm lazy, and if i spell something rong it's cos i want to.

If you are going to insult people at least try to spell things correctly and actually use correct grammar. \n\nOtherwise, you are the one who is a dumbass.

When typing it's easy to misspell words but also easy to check their spelling but either don't know about checking their spelling or just don't give a hoot.\nThere really isn't any good "excuse" for bad grammar or abbreviations either other then some people might think it's sexy or cute but to any one with an ounce of common sense they know it's stupid and lazy. Those who don't take the time to type out the words correctly are the uneducated and will get no where in this world at all.\nI may not be the smartest person in this world but I do take pride in myself and don't like to look stupid either.
