Grammarnatrix Comes Out to Play

[offbalance]

I swear, I want to take a red pen to 90% of the LJ community posts I read.

I have never subscribed to the whole "lol just the internet!" school of thought. If you are solely represented by text, wouldn't you want to sound like someone with a brain?

Then again, if you don't *have* a brain to speak of, it may not be such a worry, but still. My inner English major gets twitchy. And, I am less sympathetic to people with lousy grammar.

I am so used to seeing lose spelled loose on ye olde internets that it now looks wrong to see it spelled correctly.

Sadly, most people just don't care if they sound like an uneducated ass on the internet, regardless of what the content of said horrible manglings of language may be.

Actually I don't mind it, far easier to spot the idiots that way, in person there are cues you can look for but when you only have text to go on... XD
