Noobs who fail at grammar

So today I went to Magatia PQ and I added this girl to my party, I suddenly noticed she switches 'The' with 'AT'.
EX: WHERE IS AT PQ?

So what are your stories about fail grammars?

That kind of grammar mistake just hits me as someone who does not know english very well, but the more subtle mistakes are the ones that annoy me, because it usually = people who know english but speak horribly.

cc plis
Even though this is technically not bad grammar "buy a smega" hurts my soul, because in my mind I hear it as "bai a esmega", because of the 'a' in front of the 'e' it sounds weird so I usually say 'buy an smega', but I know smega is short for super mega phone, but it still irks me.
No ks pls is another one
or youre name is andre, is another one too, *should be your*
this is mines, just screams young kid, also, when people feel the need to walk around typing in caps lock, just hits me as someone who has no sense what so ever. To me, using upper case, is like yelling, or enunciating something, but when you walk around using it all the time, it just makes it seem like you have no education at all. (to me).

On a side note, people please realize, if you tell the TS or others, that you don't care about something, you obviously do, since you care enough to type or say something about it. If you didn't care, you would look at the thread, and exit, moving on with life.

Actually, "ain't" is proper grammar. It's used in one of the many sub-dialects of English. In fact, you can take college courses that explore these sub-dialects.

[quote=Igniter54]Did you know that, English is the hardest language to learn in the world? There are many slang words and words with apostrophes in them that those other people in the world cannot pronounce. This is why people who have a slight accent cannot pronounce words properly in English.[/quote]

Noobs is not a word. The correct term would be "newbies"

Therefore, YOU fail at grammar.

Okay, Il point something.
Im 14 years old and Im french.
I Never had english lessons, nor did my parents help me.
To learn that language, ive sure made alot of mistakes, But people corrected me, instead of harrassing me.
Its Take Determination also to learn a whole language. Some, just don't seems to have it. But some, never had chances to learn about it and are trying they're best.

Don't harass people for those things, Though, I myself hate,when people (typ lik dis).

So today I went into this thread where some random attention-seeking girl asked me to list grammar "fails." I suddenly noticed that one cannot "fail" at grammar. Grammar is a branch of syntax and morphology and therefore, one cannot "fail" at it. I laughed when I realized how silly and poorly uninformed the TS was.

So what are your stories about hypocritical thread-starters?

Those people who try to steal your channel, but can't do it in a civilized fashion.

So when I retaliate verbally (or, rather, textually), they cannot retaliate back with anything. It makes me roflcopter hard to see them try to piece grammar together to give themselves a reason for their superiority.

You might say it wasn't their first language, but if they had learned English elsewhere they would understand basic grammar by the book likely, not use colloquial terms and lame jokes they hear or learn in real life (like "your mom" and all that jazz).

Dude you need to learn to spell. I believe the correct spelling is 'grammer' not 'grammar'. Jeez, learn to spell before criticizing others on their grammer.

So you're using the word "retard" to NOT describe what someone could be? I see what your saying but try saying something like, "Just because someone makes one grammatical errmor doesn't mean they're (insert word here). Dumb, Stupid, ignorant, not well spoken, anything else you want. Lol.

It's better than the people who aren't able to comprehend any English at all(while in game play).>.>;;
I rather have someone trying than just speaking to me in a "mysterious language".
For example, my boyfriend his native language isn't English but doesn't mean I bash him
to death because he says something incorrectly. = x=;;

No. It's grammar.
Grammar:the branch of linguistics that deals with syntax and morphology (and sometimes also deals with semantics)
Grammer:Common misspelling of grammar
