Grammar Girl is a good thing for people who have questions about what is right between two words. She covers things in a fun way. Does a lot of the things like effect/affect, lay/lie, further/farther etc.
The internet and text messaging have done more to destroy the english language as we know it than Rap music and President Bush combined.
Kids are going through high school without the slightest notion about proper communication.
Yeah, it's just an internet forum and not grammar school, but it sure tells me something of the mind of the person on the other end doing the typing. I figure if you never learned a simple thing like the difference between "your" and "you're", then there probably isn't too much else between the ears.
But I'm also a judgemental asshole, so who gives a fuck about what I think!
i sent way too many txt so i sometimes type like that out of habit. and often wonder why certain words were spelt and used the way they are. for example y - why, u - you and such
there is a business in town that is named Chris's Upholstery that isnt right and it annoys me
It can be annoying, but i can be forgiving. Sometimes it is funny and you have to wonder if a word misused was accidental or the person thinks they are using it correctly.

"The fact that you would spell check posts on my site, let alone any fucking site leads me to believe that you just can’t let loose and appreciate the big picture, who really cares if I slip up on a you’re and your, their and there, melon’s or melons, you should learn how to read past typos and get the overall concept behind the post instead of going to the trouble to email me or comment about me, calling me a moron about the shit like you’re my fucking English teacher who I tried to poison in High School for pulling the same stunt. I am not educated, I am an immigrant, I have lived on the street, but throwing in an apostrophe wasn’t really representative of that, because even an uneducated person knows the fuckin’ difference, and it’s really got nothing to do with being a moron and more to do with not editing posts no one reads, except for maybe the occasional hater like you.
Either way, it doesn’t really matter, I just get annoyed when people bother me with instructions and point out typos, not because it makes me feel inadequate, but it reminds me that this site reaches the people I don’t really want it to. "

Uneducated though Jesus may claim to be, he comes across as very smart and articulate. I'm kind of surprised that grammatical and spelling errors don't bother him, as most other things in life clearly do, but to each his own.
