Lindal Kidd Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 6 hours ago, Sid Nagy said: You apparently have no clue how much more effort it takes to write in a language other than your native tongue. Nobody is special because he/she knows the spelling and grammar of their own language. People who take the time to communicate with you in a for them foreign language, should get respect for the effort, how crappy the result may be, and no shame and blame because of the not totally perfect translations. In fact everybody should get that respect even native speakers. This is an international forum, not an English class. I do have that clue, sir, and I have great respect for those who are, however partially, multilingual. Nor do I "blame and shame" any such attempts; rather, I teach, by courteously correcting mistakes. Laziness, however, deserves exactly the scorn that Drayke provided. "Remmy", indeed. As for your final sentence: "English class" may be in session at any time and any place the language is employed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Whimsy Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 This whole 'remmy' thing takes me back to the 2000's when people thought typing it 'boi' was cool or cute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your final sentence: "English class" may be in session at any time and any place the language is employed. It really depends on my mood whether the manner in which someone else is speaking bothers me. In a good mood grammatical errors just bounce right off me and I hardly give them a notice while paying attention to what the speaker is attempting to convey. When in a bad mood however the way in which someone speaks more easily bothers me and I can feel critical of someone not using English correctly. I seldom criticize out loud though. I don't correct them because I think it's rude. I'd no more tell someone they weren't speaking correctly than I'd tell them they weren't dressed properly, or that what they were saying seemed trite and boring. I'm trying to imagine being in a restaurant with friends and correcting their manner of speaking, informing them they're using a word in the wrong way or whatever. How bizarre would that be. Basically we are all just speaking to each other here. I don't mind at all if someone speaks in a more 'stream of consciousness' way as the OP did. I can't agree with your notion that this is an English class -- perhaps you should get permission first to see if someone you decide to heap scorn on wants to attend your class? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathlen Onyx Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Has anyone thought that people that may not use correct grammar or type like an English Professor might have a reason other than laziness? Maybe they have a traumatic brain injury or they are dyslectic. Perhaps they weren't given the luxury of an education that taught them how to construct a sentence or use proper grammar. I see all over these forums about how you shouldn't be racist and accept how people want to play their second life and how this is discriminating and that is insensitive, yet many people in this post feel it necessary to make fun of someone who isn't just like them over GRAMMAR?! A new poster that, God forbid, just came here asking for information. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I might buy all of these various reasons that people are throwing out except the the OP managed to type the full word correctly spelled at the end of his post.

Rowan Amore Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not to people who have posted something serious. Something I think is eye rolling, yes. Something genuinely funny, yes. Stuff someone says just to be contrary, sure. Check my postings history. I'll use confused more than scorn laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
