One of my names around the net is Mr. Spellcheck. There is no one better to turn to when you need help with spelling or grammar than me, and I'm damn proud of that fact. Because I managed to get the last post on the page...DX |

| Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Slowly, completely, gently beyond comparison, cruelly to the point of numbness, I'll violate your life. That's right. The instant I rip off your limbs, tear open your rib and pull out your intestines, biting into your neck as you scream in agony, chewing through your eyes as I ignore your pleas for mercy and spreading your brains on the ground like butter! |
| I guess that I could call myself a grammar freak, even though I often make mistakes :l. I usually let small mistakes slip, but it REALLY bugs when people mix up "then" with "than" , "their" with "there" (or even worse; "theyre"). Also, having played WoW in an Italian guild for almost 2 years, I'm amazed they all do the same mistakes, writing out words as "Post here your screenshots" rather than "Post your screenshots here". I'm also generally annoyed by lazy people who uses numbers instead of letters and shorten down words to one single letter. |

| To the best of my ability. Lol. I find that if I use proper grammar when it doesn't matter then I'm less likely to make mistakes when it does matter. |
| I completely hate when someone uses incorrect grammar, or tries to use more difficult punctuation marks such as the colon and dash. I also find it annoying when people use abbreviated words such as "can't" or "won't"; just spell out both of the words please. I will admit to using incorrect grammar from time to time, but I hate myself afterwards and wish I had paid more attention when I used it. |

| Gooder than most. |
  |
| Yeah, I find it more convenient to write it that way then without them. It's easy to understand and it most certainly doesn't break any grammar rules. |

They aren't grammatically incorrect, so you're just being conceited if you think they are... or are simply idiotic if they aggravate you for no apparent reason. |

By the way, you used the complicated punctuation semi-colan...shame on you for being a hypocrite. |
| Feels too weird when I don't use contractions. But I ain't going to use ain't. On a totally unrelated note, Anayu, is your avatar supposed to say Anaya? |

| I try my best to use proper grammar, but no one is perfect. I find using Internet shorthand less often minimizes stupid mistakes at work and school. While not a Grammar Nazi, I will get irritated when I see co-workers make obvious mistakes. |

UserZero said: ima gangster yo we not use it I believe that's spelled gangsta. Oh... I see. Never mind then. This poll doesn't surprise me. Most of the posts I've seen around here seem to do well using proper grammar. I like good grammar, but if it's readable, it's acceptable imo. Yeah, if it's understandable and readable, it is ok, even though they mix up words like "their" "there" "they're" and such. But somehow I encounter people who uses non-understandable grammar.

I can relate to the things you've said... ^^ |

I'm also generally annoyed by lazy people who uses numbers instead of letters and shorten down words to one single letter. Well, I understand wherer your going. I correct people who use "then" instead of "than" etc...but it's not really a "big" mistake, exspecialy to someone that's primary language is not English. Though, I was in an Aussie guild for alot of my time in WoW(I'm in a US now..xD)) and most of them spoke rather well. They did the whole "r u fine?" thing, which annoyed me to know end, but that's basic internet stuff that alot of people do, so I let it go...xD |

| Seriously,i need to practice on "How to use proper grammer".I have to even learn new words and stuff. |
 Love is filled with mystery |
| I find that I have to correct people who use poor grammar. Though I only do it to people if their first language is English, unless, of course it is constructive - not just "laaaaaaaawlz, u used the wrong 'there/their/they're', nub!". |
| To Kuyukly and Asako. I know that they are part of the English language, but I find it bothersome when they are used in papers. Personal papers and notes is fine, but in formal or professional documents, it seems out of place and undermines the paper. I just try and stay away from them. Nothing is physically wrong with using them (and nothing in my post led to saying that they are grammatically incorrect), I just refrain from using them. To Anayu. I had stated "tries to use" in the context. I way inferring that they would try and use one, but fail miserably and just make it look like they are clueless to the English language and its principals. |

Rebel160 said: To Kuyukly and Asako. I just refrain from using them. Not very well. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=23438&show=80#msg1003884 said: <snip> Wouldn't the... <snip> ...doesn't... It's actually rather difficult to not use them, given we're generally taught to use them in school, and they're commonplace throughout the entire language. I went about not using them on a forum a few years back, and it took a concentrated effort. It made my posts stand out though; people would often note I sounded "cold" or "too proper" which amused me greatly. |
| lol The NeoPets guild filters, for some inexplicable reason, block apostrophes and quotation marks. Fortunately, this only happens once in a while now (when it happened last year, it happened 100% of the time). So when a post does get blocked, I have to go through the whole message and turn each contraction into its full word. |
| In-game I need to be able to type fast, so I only use abbreviated words. But when I see people mixing up words like there/their/they're it makes me wanna kick them in the face >.< |
  |
| No i don't use good grammar. If you don't like it then learn how to use context clues. |
 |
| Im not a freak but I do like to write proper grammar :) |
 ------------------- nyhusern.net |
| I make a few mistakes here and there, but I do try to type in proper grammar. |
| I try to use correct grammar, thus I went with the second choice listed. I used to correct people every once in a while...I stopped eventually after people were getting annoyed by it. But I'll still correct people whenever I think they're being annoying. As for people who don't use correct or at least semi-correct grammar, I usually think they are probably adolescent children and I try to empathize to some extent.... |
| I'm so bad at grammar -_- I try my very best at grammar. |

| I try, homie. If only there was a way that we could join these people that can't spell correctly into one concentrated mass and kill them all one by one. What's that called? |
| I won't say I'm a grammar nazi, but I do try my damnedest to spew out proper grammatical shit, so that even if it gets shot down, at least it looks good^^ |
 |
| Don't be a grammar nazi like spider-man... as long as what you say/type is somewhat legible, who cares, not the end of the world amgawsh |
   |
| Complete grammar freak. But if english is not your mother language, a mistake can appear >.< Although non-capitalized "I", that's what always pisses me off, too. |
| I can only express something in English when typing/writing. I'm bad with the speech since I don't speak English so to catch up I try to be in good grammar as much as possible. |
| Yes, I do. I'm a grammar nazi. :/ |
| Cross my heart and hope to die I promise that I will never lie and if my promise ever does go I give to you my eternal soul! |
