How important do you deem spelling and/or grammar?

[queensbomb]

Incredibly important.
Who would you hire?
John Doe, or J0hn D03?

J0hn D03. He's my scapegoat.

 

[Souplex]

I make sure my spelling is correct and give my post a read over once after typing it to check for grammar.

 

[Hazy]

It wasn't.
And I'm tired, thats my reasoning.
Know how much sleep I got last night? None.
And I corrected it around 2 seconds after posting, so I have no idea why it delays.

OK, I beg your pardon. And no, I did not know how many hours' sleep you got last night, of course. Perhaps the lack of sleep explains your defensive reply.

Oh no, you have me wrong. I didn't mean to come off like an asshole
True, I'm very tired, but it's not enough to provoke anger in me.

As long as I can understand it, and any mistakes in it are in small amount or minor, then I believe it to be okay. However, I'm a real perfectionist, so any mistakes I make I usually edit instantly.

Only time I've ever considered complaining about spelling and grammar was when a guy was actually complaining about spelling and grammar.

 

[LilGherkin]

It's so important that whenever I see the line underneath my words I'll stop typing and work directly on that word. I'll even Google search it to see the correct spelling.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Well, considering I'm an English nut, I'd say I consider spelling and grammar to be bleedin' vital, although I can understand why, in some situations, it's easier to use shorthand.

Ah, nice to hear it. I did think, when I looked at your profile, 'surely I can't have made that jolly-looking fellow angry', and sure enough I was right

I will not say that I am a grammar nazi, because I tend to make mistakes even with the highest vigilance, so I'll say that I value it well enough. Mostly, it's a personal scanner that I use on myself because I'm a writer. I do tend to wince at some bad word usage at times, but I never take it personally. My preference is just that one should type to be understood. If you can do that, we're fine. That being said, Microsoft Word and I have a few disagreements on what proper grammar IS. For the record, Word is incompetent alot of the time, and pushy when running a spell-checker.

Ah no, I'm a girl, you see, so I can call people jolly-looking and get away with it.

Touche.

 

[flare09]

Very important. The internet does not excuse ignorance.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

as long as it's not totally incomprehensible i don't really care about spelling and grammar. i just think it's funny when people say how they won't respond if the grammar isn't perfect and yet they themselves will often make mistakes themselves

 

[Jamous]

I consider it massively important, to the point where I do not directly respond to most posters unless they have written their's perfectly.

That's right.
Grammar is extremely important, almost as important as the search button

Yes, yes, the all-mighty search button. It even has bold, look! search button!

 

[TheFacelessOne]

Very important.

Now excuse me, I have to make a speech to my fellow Grammar Nazis and the Special Forces, the Spelling Spetnaz.

You forgot a period.

Life happens.
And then you die.
