Grammar=Intelligence
I noticed alot of reponses from people who equate the two.If the grammar,punction and spelling are poor,the person is illiterate.Give me a break.True some responses are ill conceived and poorly structured,but a little leeway should be exercised.
Has it come some of the people's attention there are brilliant people,but are poor at English.Surprise,surprise. I'm famaliar with a university math professor who admits his weakness,grammar,but he is superb in math.I'm not the greatest in English either,I'm a math nerd,love calculus,but that doesn't make me any smarter or dumber than anyone else.
The condemnation I see is abhorant and all too famaliar.One of my favorite authors is William Faulkner, a great in the literature world.I haven't seen anyone on these posts come close to his mastery of writing, but these same people are the biggest critics of English structure.
I feel that some of the subs should be given a chance to impress and show some of their other fine qualities and strengths.
My Mom taught seminars to govt. employees nationwide for years....on grammar, punctuation, semantics...etc.
7 or 8 years ago I bought her a computer.
I've always been a grammar snob. It just pisses me off when I speak with someone...who can't speak well.
My Mom is one of the singularly most brilliant women on the planet.
She IM'd me some months after she got her computer.
What I read appeared to me as if from someone who had been beaten over the head profusely....after having been dropped off a rather large cliff.
It then dawned on me....some people just can't communicate swiftly or accurately....with a keyboard.
Unfortunately, I had to kill her.
