Typing "should of" instead of "should've"

[ppbebe]

Thanks a lot, Will. I love this GNR nation too.?

i didn't mean to offend anyone.

Na, and the first part of my previous post was an attempt to be funny, but, baw! apparently failed.? ?
Maybe Skeletor got it?
I love reading broken English. It?s so amusing to image each poster speaking "liek" they write.

But the last bit was all serious. It's a question for all musicians.

the reason i took up music was exactly that, it can communicate to anyone.

And that?s the answer I wanted to hear.
May your music resound through the world! One day, Someday..?

Then, I think there?s something in what Dizzy and Skeletor say.

We are trying to UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE SAYING!.......and it's unfortunate, because I honestly do believe that you're intelligent and have interesting things to say.

It reminds me of "I want to know you".... whose song was it?

(Comments on a trial lesson: Thanks Dizzy. Somehow an element of doubt about the view on my "being kindly corrected" arose in my mind. I may well follow SCL?s advice. )?

For the benefit of all those who speak English as a second language, I'm not even touching this topic

................................ Hmm MCT, your language is very difficult.

You all need to get off your high horses and just enjoy the site. English teacher or not no one's perfect.

To each their own, I say.  Everyone has different ways of expressing themselves.  There is no right or wrong way... all that matters is that you are able to get your message across.  Grammar and spelling should be of secondary concern in my opinion. 

[Dizzy]

Bollocks.  Language is the basis of all communication.  We would have nothing without it.  Not even the ever so precious element that fools call "love" could be possible without language.  If you can't take the time to correctly formulate your expressions, why should I take the time to read them?  In layman's terms, if you're going to type a half-ass post, why should I give it more than a half-ass glance?

Apparenly, you only gave my response a "half-ass glance"... like I said, it was just *my opinion*

Yeah, and I refuted "your opinon" by stating "my opinion".? So how did I only give your post a lackadaisical glance?? Just because I didn't acknowledge the "it's my opinion" sentiment?? Isn't it a given that any post you make in this sense is "your opinion"?

Sheesh, sometimes I think I'm the only one posting here who doesn't use the rather superfluous phrase "in my opinion" for fear of the ramifications which might ensue.

[D]

i rarely use that but i honestly can think of about a hundred better things to do with my time than to bitch about peoples grammar, but thats just me!

Ah, I see.  So instead of spending your time bitching about grammar, you spend your time sitting there thinking of 100 better things to do with your time.? No wonder you have no time to type properly.

to elaborate on my previous post, (sorry, my brother was outside to pick me up to watch alien vs predator) i am intelligent enough, that if someone misspells a word but is close enough it's *u like that* no big deal.

i think anyone with an I.Q. over 50 can tell the difference in a contraction and when something is possessive.


axls a dick. I think it's pretty evident that I am saying, axl is a dick.

axls hair is not real.? That is pretty easy to figure out whose hair im talking about.

i dont capitalize shit because i guess im too lazy to hit shift, i dont use apostrophes cause i have no problems understanding what people are talking about, so i guess i assume everyone is intelligent enough to figure out when a contraction compared to possession is being shown.


I mean i think everyone knows dont is do not, i mean fuck does typing don't really make that much of a difference? does capitalization change the word? does it make it mean something else?

who knows if anyone is goin to read what i post, so i sure as hell am not gonna sit here and make a 5 minute post take 10 minutes just so i can have proper sentence structure and grammar.

when i post i could care less if im quoted or people read or respond, but considering most people read my threads, read my posts, id say the majority is like me and could give a shit either way.

if proper grammar makes some people happy, by all means use it! i frankly dont care enough to bother

am i wrong? probably, do i care? hells no!

I could sit here and give u proper grammar all day long if i really wanted, but ive never seen anyone congratulated for grammar on a message board.


"Dude i totally dont agree with your post but holy fuck your grammar is amazing."
I've never seen that!

great posts are great posts and i guarantee only a small minority even thinks twice about grammar etc etc or cares.

  that was a good one..





And what it comes to me is, you've all seen that my grammar isn't that good now and then..english isn't my native language but I always try to put my words that way that others here in messageboard could get something out of my message. Sometimes my grammar is so poor that later on I can't even myself figure out what I tried to explain with that post of mine? ......

...and what I've noticed is that, what i've learned at school how to spell etc. is sometimes giving me hard time here. I mean, there are many posters here that are americans or british..or just have good english skills, and some of the people of that group spells words wrong or have bad grammar. And I'm thinking that, damn is that sentence right??..well, I guess it's got to be 'cause his native language is english..and then I'm just confused 'cause I remembered that it was taught different way back in school. So often I got mixed up the things what I've learned at school and what I've "learned" at here.

[journey]

I really admire people who can speak and write in a language that's not their first. I took a year of Spanish, and it was strange to learn a different way of speaking and forming sentences. My biggest problem with English sentences, are commas. I'm always making comma splices. I try to catch myself, but it's a slippery slope.

It's not a question of intelligence, and it's not a question (at least in most cases) whether the reader can understand the meaning. It's the million other things already discussed earlier in this thread.

does capitalization change the word? does it make it mean something else?

No you're right, let's fuckin' change all the rules of the English language because they're no good!

...Capitalization doesn't change the word, but it makes the text EASIER and FASTER to read. Is that honestly so hard to comprehend??

i sure as hell am not gonna sit here and make a 5 minute post take 10 minutes just so i can have proper sentence structure and grammar.

  If it really takes you that long, I feel sorry for you.

I could sit here and give u proper grammar all day long if i really wanted, but ive never seen anyone congratulated for grammar on a message board.

It doesn't need to be congratulated, because it should be taken for granted.

[D]

point being its a message board, more of an informal type deal.

i guess its the same reason u type "lol" instead of spelling out laugh out loud

Im not disagreeing with you english buffs, i mean true i should use proper grammar etc, i mean i know how etc, im not saying im right, im just saying I,and the majority of the board dont really care.

i exaggerated, it would probably take a minute 15 seconds opposed to 1 minute to post, i guess i never really thought about it.

my next 5 posts after this, i will try my hardest to capitalize,use proper grammar etc etc etc

this could be fun!

Is it scary that i could read everything you wrote word for word??

[Elrothiel]

Jeez, I FUCKING hate it when people say "should of".

In some of the programs I watch here in England, occasionally a character says that, and I find myself screaming "ITS "SHOULD HAVE" YOU STUPID BITCH!" at the TV... its slightly scary how something so trivial pisses me off so much!!

Its the same with "would of", and "could of".

"would of", "could of" and "should of" make NO sense whatsoever!!

AAARRRRGHHH!!!

Another grammatical error which pisses me off is when people mix up the usage of "to", "too", and "two", and also when people say "alot" instead of "a lot".

This is why it is so important for kids to read, and to like reading for leisure. The more people read, the less errors they will make with their spelling and grammar.

Oh yes, that's another one!! The mix up of "there", "their", and "they're"!!!

[SLCPUNK]

That is quite the bump.............

[the dirt]

also when people say "alot" instead of "a lot".

I think this is actually the most common misspelt word in the english language.

[Skeletor]

That is quite the bump

Yep. Reading this stuff reminded me it's a shame Dizzy's gone...
