Seriously, people are becoming too flexible with how kids are taught.
When I do emails or post in the forums, I type with the best grammar and spelling as I can (with a few exceptions like "cuz" instead of "because"). Other than that, I use slang because I'm speedtyping... on AIM, etc.
When my parents use their cell phones to send me text messages, it's difficult for them to do it with proper spelling or grammar. So, they use abbreviations. 1 out of 50 times, I'll have to think for a moment to figure out what they're trying to say... other than that, they do just fine.  |
Nods. When I post I will correct my grammar if not always my spelling (I'm really bad at spelling) but when I'm using IMs or playing WoW, it's harder for me to edit my grammar in chat. Most people don't call on it even when I leave out ings when it's needed.
Once some grammar nazi in my guild at WoW kept correcting other hearing's grammar and I typed roll
s her eyes at grammar nazi. He pounced on my grammatical errors and told me in guild chat he couldn't believe I would make such an error. I put him on ignore and one hearing person told me hell nobody uses correct grammar in chat so who cares? I don't need some hearing @$$ making fun of my grammar after all the work I spent on my English skills. I get As in English even when I'm the only deaf in that class. So there.
