Calm Down People
So I think it's pretty hilarious when you see people on FB or youtube having arguments about something, and then they start to discriminate people's spelling, as if they ran out of things to argue about and just want to keep mess going. Who cares how somebody types on the computer. Not everybody has to be grammatically correct. It's like when people text. Example: Why sit there and take the extra time to say the word "people" or "tomorrow" when you can just say "ppl" and "tmrw". I won't lie, sometimes my "texting language" comes off the keyboard onto the computer when I post comments or statuses or whatever. But I think it's stupid and rediculous how people actually get into arguments about people's grammar on comment boards. But sometimes it can be pretty funny when the person judging someone elses' grammar has poor grammar themself. It makes them look ignorant. I mean if I see somebody misspell something and I know it wasn't on purpose, I will correct it, but that's just because it's one of my "pet peeves" I guess you could say. Sometimes I can't stand bad grammar, but I don't get into arguments with people about it. If I do correct someone's grammar, I do it in a joking way because I don't want to seem like an ass. Not that I'm trying to be one by correcting grammar, some people just take a little offense.
