I have noticed this for some time were has peoples mind gone off to.
I know I may not be perfect, but at least I try to fix my sentences. I at least check my grammar.
Some people look like they never even tried.
I also want to know how a 16 year old girl can get off telling a 23 year old hes hot.

I have to say that I don't have the greatest grammer, but I try my best.
Some people don't look at what they write and that could be the problem.
Also there are some people who don't pay attention in their English classes, I know a few.
And then some people don't try! It's pretty plain to see...
And about the 16 year old statement... that is WRONG!!!!!!

Who cares how people type or if they have grammar mistakes? If it worries you that badly then maybe you should get some help.

Sagat I understand were you're coming from. Sailor that doesn't make an excuse for them.
If they are tired of being yelled at or poked fun of about their grammar then they should pay more attention.

good question i'm starting to notice that. but thats why we have the edit button even though some people don't use it.
as for the 16 year old girl thing. some girls find that older men can give them what they need and the fact that some are mature. and sense most girls want a mature older man they go for older guys. i don't quite understand sometimes

This is a big part about it.
It aslo hurts my brain to try and decipher what the people are trying to say.

Hm, I may not have the best grammar, however I do try to review what I write for any errors.
At times, I may miss a few typos here and there, but I do attempt to keep it at a minimum. =D
As for others, there are many explanations why they don't have proper english/grammar, perhaps it's because they type in a rush (However they should try to at least check for mistakes once. =\), or perhaps they just don't seem to care about their errors, or perhaps it's simply because they're dim-wits. *cough* O.o
**Edit**
Bah, to answer the 16 years of age for girls question, perhaps it's because girls like mature men? For example, have you ever heard of the saying-- "Women should date men approximately 3 years older then them." Why??? I do not know... Maybe it's because girls find that guys that are the same age as them, rather immature, and that girls are looking for experienced mature guys... Oh, hell I'm really not sure... it's just a thought.. ^-^; Correct me if I'm wrong.

Even older men try to get into a ladies pants. Just like a boy their age.
Probably less worse because the mature man wants to fill her up with nice things before doing.
Younger men just want to do it.
Excuse me if that post was disturbing its thr truth though.

I hate bad spelling, syntax, and grammar too, but there isn't anything you can do...
...Except not read those posts because there isn't anything worth reading there anyway. That's what I do.

Where have peoples minds gone....I submit that most people you'll see on the net actualy have no mind of their own. They've been infected by an alien I like to call 'Noob'. This 'Noob' buries itself into it's host's brain and takes over all intelligent thought. It then proceeds to change all intelligent thought to dim thoughts. Life seems to continue as normal, but the host is now a 'Noob' soldier; a force that shall take us over unless we fight back.
I have horrible spelling. But most people in AF don't know that. Why? Because I have a dictionary. It's not that hard to use a dictionary. And if you don't have any luck with a dictionary, ask someone in the house. If there is no one else in the house. Then do your best. But I can tell if your trying because if your trying, then you could at least use proper punctuation. That is all I have to say.

yes i see what your coming from buy view this. in the mind of a 16 year old girl most guys around her age seem rather dumb and immature and also sex cravers..but when it comes down to a older guy she expect that sense they older they aren't as immature as younger ones. and some of those who think that are very foolish because there are men who are like 40 and such who are immature and all they want to do is get in the girls panties.

Some people are just lazy. And alot of people are used to chat or messenger talking, and when you're just goofing around talking to a friend on the internet, grammar and spelling doesn't really matter. But, I think alot of people fail to recognize that a message board is not the same as a chat room, and if you're going to post something, at least put in SOME effort. It doesn't have to be perfect, but let it be at least semi-readable.
But, I'm a grammar nut. ._. I can't stand when something isn't worded right or spelled the right way. It's almost kind of obsessive.

Well honestly I understand where you are coming from. But you have to remember that some people are younger and can't use correct grammer. I'll admit that I sometimes take the short cuts. Usually when I'm fighting and need to type fast, but when you start using them they get addicting. The best solution is to just type everything out and never start using them. I wish someone would have told me that! >.<;

But the problem here is that they don't even know how to spell the easiest words.

First of all *yawn* My brain is half asleep.
The only time I ever have had bad grammar is when I wake up. I'm just to lazy to fix anything if theres a mistake.
And Hikarun if you were that worried about your grammar you would actually wouldn't be lazy to type another word.

I truly deteste it when a post is of incredably poor grammer and spelling - I can forgive an odd mistake here and there, but when someone has obviously not made any attempt to "preview post" it really irritates me:
yo howz it goin? omg i can't belev that wot a crzy idea! c yuo l8rz!!!If your going to speak the language - at least learn to speak it properly.*
Oh, and for the record peeps - if you can't spell a word for a post and you haven't got a dictionary handy - simply type it into Google - if it's wrong it will usually come up with the correct "did you mean..." word.
Thanks,
Sayoran ^^;
