@98: If you're referring to it being spelled "realise" instead of "realize", be aware that in many (no, MOST) English-speaking countries, especially members of the British Commonwealth, it has always been spelled "realise", as this is the British original version. This includes Canada, Australia, Ireland, etc.

you do a good job of messing up your country's words all by yourself

sick burn bro at least i can spell 'interfering'

well it's GONNA get me further than you since you'll have to repeat primary schooling a few times before making the jump

i'm pretty sure that i'm better off than someone who doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're"

Too bad good grammar IS important. Go back to school little boy; you clearly know very little of the big adult world.

hahaha, you're calling someone else snobby and stuck up right after saying that your life is something to be envied. now THAT'S comedy.

OH MY GOD. will you **** OFF with all this grammar pish! me = 15 = A for a-level english. but i dont talk (well, type) with capitals all the time, nor do i necessarily punctuate. just because people talk lyk ths on da net (or type 'your' like 'you're' or vice-versa) doesnt mean thats their level of intelligence, and theyre all morons. at the end of the day, you get their point. learn to chill a bit, not everyone gives that big of a shit

i guess you can't appreciate the irony of him claiming someone else is messing up words while he manages to misspell two words in the same comment

#137- False. The way that you present yourself to the world is the way that you are going to be perceived. Online, that means through the quality of your language. If you present yourself as a person who cannot be bothered to type vowels and spell words with numbers, then you are going to be judged as such. The judgment is harsh because accepting lazy and trendy communication as standard lowers the bar for acceptable human interaction and damages the English language. Pardon me, but I don't want to live in a world 50 years from now where books and newspapers are printed with a "u" instead of the word "you" just because 15 year olds wanted it to be acceptable online.

I agree with #141. Whenever I see someone type with illiteracy, it makes me think that they're lazy, immature, or twelve. I especially hate it when people replace lowercase G's with q's. Though it's irrelevant to the case, I just felt like adding that in there.

yeah, i get where youre coming from, but not everyone who speaks that way is stupid. some find it easier, quicker, whatever. it IS online though. its not supposed to be formal, its meant to be chilled and more relaxed. i just doubt half the people who talk like cretins online actually go out and write that way. i would also like to point out im not including #143 in this, cause i think he might just be... thick.

I found this whole grammer battle very funny. But mark266, I think you lost. Sorry, but your arguments made absolutely no sense, so I couldn't really call that a win for you.

Umm, it just looks like half a conversation, and all you get is the douchebag grammer nazi side. What exactly happened?
