Is it wierd that I am a total grammar freak?

It's not weird, it's sexy! No, actually, it is indicative of a touch of the OCD. You will probably mellow on it as you get older, but if things like grammar really get to you, you should probably stay offline. I was very much that way.\n\nOtherewise your asking for trouble from stuped people and there poor grammers.

It ain't so! :) lol******* You aren't alone!\n\nIt gives me a headache trying to figure out where one sentence ends and the next begins. UGH...Don't get me wrong...I misspell an occasional word here and there but we are talking about "minor mistakes".

Maybe it's because your grammar, spelling and punctuation are terrible!

There is a lot of people who have grammar problems but you dont have to be that harsh. You think English is easy to learn? Even the people who were born in the U.S or England have grammar problems. Nobody is perfect. It's not the matter of stupidity but the matter of being a human. Not saying there's no stupid people out there. Just dont worked up over little things like this. I rather see people trying to write in english than go into Yahoo answers and write in spanish assuming people know spanish. Take a chill pill girl. Besides, look at yourself before you judge people. Your sentences aren't that perfect eaither.

Why do people have such horrible grammar?

Please trade your enthusiasm for hunting for an enthusiasm for grammar.\nOh, and to answer your question, NO!

But, I see that punctuation, and grammar are issues for you:\n\n"I cannot, for the life of me, understand why so many people continue to misspell (words in Yahoo! forums) when there is access to a spell checker."

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

This is the third request from you that I have read. To "correct" your grammar would be tiresome. However, I did want to say that you have a way with words and write quite well. If you were my student, I would conference with you and give you hints on how to improve your grammar and some punctuation, the only weaknesses. Your descriptive passages are excellent. You are a good observer. Keep writing. You have a talent there.

I don't know if you are a bad Mom, but you could clean up this listing and correct the grammar.  I could't make sense of this and sadly, I thought I could help.

One is, as I am sure you know, the contraction for you are while the other shows possesive case. There, I wrote that for all the yahooites who might read this and do not have a clue about proper English. While I am not perfect myself, some of the spellings are simply too strange at times so it is little wonder that some are confused by the two words. It is a sad sign of the times I am afraid.

Wow, I am just shocked that someone here knows how to spell.

apparently spelling and grammar...

Absolutely. I may only be 16, but I detest incorrect grammar. Why must anyone have an excuse for it? How can anyone misuse a little mark (the apostrophe)? Are they so stupid as to be outsmarted by the apostrophe and the simple rules that come with its use? I must admit that correct grammar is not taught properly (in my school, at least) at GCSE level. The only time I have come across a grammar lesson was for coursework requiring it! It isn't just you; I have noticed the decline in the use of the apostrophe, the semicolon, the colon and even the full stop! It's time we put an end to this and stand up against poor punctuation, grim grammar and substandard spelling. One area of debate, however, is that of the serial comma. . . I don't use it. . .

I'm amazed. You spell very well and use periods at the ends of sentences and your grammar isnt bad at all. Yet I see kids posting questions in here that claim to be in high school who can barely communicate at all. Their spelling is so bad you can't understand them and they don't use a period for an entire paragraph. You are obviously smarter than them but you were the one left back?\n\nThis says a lot about teachers and the screwed up school system. Good luck to you.

In the past I have been asked to proof read papers people are writing for a college class.  Their grammar and spelling were so bad I just had to tell them to type it in Word and use its spelling and grammar tools to proof it.  Being obsessive compulsive, I just couldn't deal with the thought of it. \n\nI'm not perfect but the lack of grammatical skills most people possess amazes me.  What amazes me even more are the grades college students are getting turning in papers like that.  I imagine there is some point the teachers just throw up their hands and say, "f-ck it!"  \n\nApathy seems to be the root of the problem for both teachers and students; they just don't care.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, I think it has to be put down to laziness. I like to take pride in the way that I write, It may take a little longer and even though I'm sure that I have made no mistakes, it dose not hurt to use the "spell check" to make absolutely sure. Once again, those that don't take care are just plain lazy.\n\nBe like me, don't let it get to you.  Good luck.
