At most, I might do common abbreviations to fit everything in a tweet. Don't even get me started on the widespread Internet custom on a lot of parenting and pregnancy boards of referring to a husband as a "DH" and kids as "DD," "DS," "DC," and "LO"! I've always felt that people who don't know basic grammar or orthography (spelling) rules just don't read a lot. Otherwise, you'd have learnt a long, long time ago that your≠you're, and that there, their, and they're are different words.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059401159514824135.post-57843215741044390532013-04-08T11:47:55.479-07:002013-04-08T11:47:55.479-07:00I fully agree!

I always try to use correct grammar in texting - but it's becoming a losing battle. Nobody cares enough :(Rebecca Lamoreauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817076564848633798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059401159514824135.post-21617421309873966302013-04-08T11:25:10.933-07:002013-04-08T11:25:10.933-07:00Texting is one of the worst offenders of using pro...Texting is one of the worst offenders of using proper grammar, in my opinion. It's like you can't take the extra few seconds to use the actual word instead of the shortened version? Come on! I don't play games. I don't have the time, or the patience. You must have a heart of gold, Rebecca.

I would like to say that this has nothing to do with him hearing me correct the grammar of others for the last thirteen years.

I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi as an English language teacher, but I don't have time for computer games. You stay right on those gamers about their grammar faux paus. Good for you!DA Cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891944631357476250noreply@blogger.com
