Bad Grammar on myLot  |
|
I have noticed that many people on myLot use poor grammar! I'm not saying that mine is perfect, but it is readable. I am new to myLot so I was just wondering if I happened to come across some bad posts, or if this is what I should expect from the writers here. Is anyone else bothered by this? Also, do those who post with bad grammar receive as much money as those with good grammar?

1. lilaclady (17249) | 10 months ago | I think grammar is something that we all must just accept here as there are so many people from different countries coming in here, I know a lot are trying to learn English and I think they are doing a good job so I think we can put up with a few grammar errors.

| allatti2d (17) | 10 months ago | Well said, lilaclady. If you spend any amount of time on internet message boards or discussions, there is horrible grammar and spelling and punctuation. That doesn't sit well with someone like me, being one of my pet peeves, but after a while you just have to let go. The internet is not a good place to be a 'grammar nazi' or to get all worked up over that sort of thing! It's also frustrating to me having been a teacher and seeing such terrible decline in the quality of our U.S. schools. But you are right, especially a place like this as an international website appealing to other countries besides the U.S., and more than anything else I love communicating with people from other countries and hearing about their cultures and perspectives. I have no problems with any spelling or grammar errors while getting to meet so many great people from all around the world!!

4. Foxfire1875 (1118) | 10 months ago | A lot of people here do not have english as their first language, so it's a bit unfair to have a go at them. The other problem is even the best proof reader would have problems, as you can't edit responses so once they are posted you are stuck with mistakes. Try and not let it bother you, as they really isn't anything you can do to prevent it. The least you can do is encourage the non english speakers mylotters and help them learn a language, that isn't that easy to learn.

6. diillu (3841) | 10 months ago | I think bad grammer and the earning here in mylot isn't directly related. But it is sure that people will respond less to these kind of grammer which have indirect effect on the earning of the person starting the discussions with bad grammer. But as people using mylot are from different coutries it is sure that some people will have bad grammer. Apart from that some people are trying to learn english through mylot so it would be alot better to help them when you come across these kind of discussions.

7. marilynlynn (365) | 10 months ago | I have noticed it to, but some of the bad grammar, probably is from people typing too fast, or from other countries. As for myself, I've been out of school for so long, that I just forgot how some things are spelled, and where I'm suppose to punctuate. That's what I think anyway..... Marilyn:o)

8. CanadaGal (1412) | 10 months ago | I think that a lot of the poor grammar seen on this site has a lot to do with people writing as they would speak. I also wonder if some of the people who don't speak or write english as their primary language, are perhaps using some of those translation programs, like "babelfish"? I have more of an issue with certain spelling mistakes. That is more of a pet peeve to me than the grammar issues. One of my biggest issues is with the improper use of "then" instead of "than".....ooohhhhh... that one makes my skin crawl!

9. balalaika (106) | 10 months ago | I've also noticed this aswell, my grammar is not the best but i try! Also i agree that because there are a lot of foreign members some of them may have bad grammar because they write in english only as a second language, however i fully support them, i believe if someone has made a post with good content it should still be credited regardless of the grammar not being the best. What i don't like is when native english speakers write "all like dis liek lol u kno wat i mean dis is not a sms text msg or a chatroom" or non-native speakers that make no effort to improve their english skills.

| 10. choose1 (24) | 10 months ago | I don't think it fair to find fault of others,whom may not "know" everybody didn't get the chance (for one reason or another) to finish school or specialize in English.But is that a requirement here?.
