    Does poor forum spelling and/or grammar make you nuts?
     
  2. Yes. Not a little bit here or there, but in general yes...

    I just don't want to feel like I'm getting a text message when I read a post on here.

    Little errors, no biggie. But several people in the past have really made it difficult to understand the point that they're trying to make. That gets on my nerves.

    If I remembered when/what thread that I wrote it in, I'd pull up my thread from the late summer about why spelling and grammar are important.

    Instead of getting aggravated over it and attacking people who cant spell correctly we should all just post this in response to them as a stress reliever.

    And for the people who have a hard time with using proper grammar and cant spell I would suggest you get FireFox and stop using IE because FireFox will underline a word it does not recognize and all you have to do is right click it and chose the right word. If you still spell things wrong then you need to go back to school.

    "Make me nuts" might be a little strong for my reaction. I overlook occasional errors that all of us make from time to time. But if the writer is too lazy to compose a proper post, I'm not going to waste my time trying to decipher it. Skipping to the next post keeps my frustration level down!

    Bad grammar drives me nuts!!!

    I grew up with an English teacher for a mother. She was constantly correcting my grammar, so now I have a real problem doing the same to others. I think that I piss people off sometimes with my correcting them. My wife always misuses "bring” and every time I say "You mean, take." She always gives me a dirty look when I correct her. There are some grammar things that really irritate me, but most I can handle.

    My problem is, as is with most Engineers, I have spelling issues. I guess its because my mom couldn’t correct my spelling as I spoke to her for the first 21 years of my life. If she could have I would probably be an excellent speller.

    I think that most people's problem here is that they don't take the time to read over their posts before they hit the submit button. Just read over your post before you post it to see if it makes sense. I think that would make everyone's post more palatable, but that is just me.

    I can overlook some things. It's hard though. I see a lot of people correct someone else then use the wrong form of "there, their, they're" in the same sentence. Or even worse "you're grammar needs work". I can usually hold off the attack though.
