I think you are a paranoid and racist dweeb. If you cannot understand the language, then do not assume. Also, do not assume legal status by the language spoken. There are too many examples out there that prove YOU wrong for saying that. Get over your stuck up self.

Say what You will on the Yahoo, I'll always support freedom of speech no matter the content and how much I agree or disagree; it's a right of free People to voice themselves! I've had many violations because someone doesn't like my spiel, too bad for me; but so what? Look where we are and consider how little this crap really impacts anything, it's all just so much chatter anyway! Try and have fun with it, if Your truly a serious Person this is probably not the medium to enlighten or learn upon; it's full of People like me; who really don't give a flying rat's donut one way or the other. God Bless Missy!!

I disagree. Everyone here can only see words- not actions. Obviously if I am making obscene gestures at you right now, that doesn't speak so loud, does it? But if I write these words:\n\nMY THINGY IS SMALL AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!\n\nLoud and clear, huh?

If a person spells the word "grammatically" then it IS correct.\n\nIf they spell the word "gramaticly", then it is not.\n\nIf they spell the word "gramatically", then it is not.\n\netc.\n\nThere is a common wordplay joke which is....."Why can't people correctly spell the word gramatically ?\n\nThe answer is, "because gramatically is spelt incorrectly".

suck it up. If you spelled things wrong on purpose then you have to be prepared for people to assume that you can't spell properly. No need to be offended, just let it slide and move on.

This is the thing about "freedom of speech". We all have the opportunity to speak our mind. BUT in a polite thoughtful publically acceptable manner. Would you like someone screaming obsenities and making obscene gestures if anyone's mother, grandmother, or small child were standing there? Well, I do not like it If I am standing there. Politeness is not taking away anything; it is allowing ALL of us to live together in less and less space...Having control over what you say is being an adult...screaming and yelling or typing stuff that is not really necessary nor particularly indicative of any intelligence is hardly anything to strive for nor anything to complain about if others do not like it and they say so...THAT Is freedom of speech.

b.... is not a dirty word when used in this context.  We as a society have changed to conotation and use it in a derogatory manner.

grammar not grammer. You put the comma anywhere your little heart desires. Grammar is power. Don't be a semi colon when you can be a full colon.

I am of the belief that language should work for us humans.  In almost every area of our lives things are constantly being redesigned and improved, so why not language? Why should we as people work to conform to language?  I think that language should work for us, the contemporary people, and not according to some scribe or scholar of yesteryear. Language should incorporate abbreviations for commonly used words and basic lingo or slang- when they are common knowledge anyway. My girlfriend happens to be a correct you all grammarian wannabe-- and it can just drive me crazy! If you communicate your thoughts, ideas or points in a clear and precise manner- then why be persecuted for grammar faux pas! The Darwinian theory of language must live on.. Evolve, improve and be efficient. Cheers!

Wow! Such a grammatically incorrect posting with abysmal spelling skills. And we conservatives wonder why we cannot rationalize with liberals ...\n\nObviously, I disagree.

Dear Friend:\n\nExplain what and stuff.  (First example)\n\nIn a world without grammar I would go nuts.  I have no respect for those who cannot use the language properly or communicate well.  I cannot abide constant misspelling of words that is not due to English as a second language.  I will not read anything that someone has butchered words such as "with" with "wit".  Its not cute, its not cool, it makes the person look absolutely stupid. \n\nI refuse to read anything that is not paragraphed at all.   I am not usually so harsh, but this is my pet peeve.  GBYou

Never stop slapping those people. I have a degree in English and I don't care if it's acceptable. It makes you sound like you have a speech impediment.

It amazes me that people judge a person by pulling out simple mis-statements and hanging them out as examples of IQ. \n\nTranscripts of ANY live event show over and over that NO ONE is immune to this. Lawyers, other politicians, newscasters/commentators, talk show hosts, interviewers and interviewees... Even newspapers flub frequently.\n\nObviously, mistakes like this happen. He juxtaposed two thoughts on the fly- mixing up asking about one child or a generic group of kids.\n\nFocusing on the minor grammatical flub rather than the actual text is a really, really poor way to evaluate someone. What was the content of the speech overall? THAT is what should be analysed and debated.\n\n\n\nBy the way- calling someone a 'baffoon' for poor grammer is a REALLY bad idea for someone who posts the comment with their own bad grammer.\n\nThe 'P' in President should be capitalized if you plan on using the rather rude 'all caps' format (all caps means 'shouting' in most on-line venues).\n\nAlso, it is either a 'Baboon', or a 'buffoon'. To use 'baffoon' is to commit EXACTLY the same error Bush did.

It's rude to correct someone in front of others, but if you are their friend, do it privately and kindly. This will keep them from sounding ignorant the next time. (I can hear people reaching for the computer mouse to give me thumbs' down). If I mispronounced something horribly, I would want my friends to tell me so I would not make the same mistake twice.
