I'm pretty sure it's all just to play into the whole drunkard thing.

lets see...

I want tell you how ticked off this makes me! If people can't spill or use there basic sentance structure, .... errrrr...

So we drive in a parkway and park in a driveway.. cargo goes by ship, shipment goes by truck.. no wonder we are screwed..

So bottom line is yes, it ticks me off because in my real world, the typed word is our work order, nothing gets done unless there is a request for it.. and if I can't make heads or tails out of the request, or if the person making the request is using some sort of e-ebonic, chat room, text messaging shorthand that I can't read, I'm not going to handle their request! ..

*grabs soapbox and storms off..

The one that bugs the fuck out of me is Our/Are. I work with a few people who always refer to "are job" instead of "our job". After that one it's Affect/Effect but at least they are two of the most commonly misused words in english so my friends are not alone.

Well, think of it like this, you can go to the extreme but you can never get too extreme...To do something or to go somewhere, or do too much or go too far....I'm probably explaining it shitty, lemme know if you understood it

Are you sure that they aren't using "our" , but the way they are saying it sounds like "are"? Just an observation.

It really only bugs me if it impairs my ability to read what is written.

One or two gramatical errors/typos really are nothign big to me, but when I feel like I'm doing a 10,000 piece puzzle reading someones wall of text, lord help me.

(As you can tell I make my own errors plenty and usually refuse to fix them.)
