Kind of cute, actually. Not saying I disagree that I would have liked to see a study with more participants but still interesting.
It's been crossing my mind for a while, at least on forums such as here and Fet, that we're seeing fewer people make comments regarding misspellings, typos, and grammos. (New term for me.) We've gotten so used to people who access sites by phone aps that we see less criticism in these areas when it comes to posts. Probably not as much for emails because the general attitude seems to be that more care should go into writing a personal email. What do you think?
I know that I try to make allowances for english as a second/third language.
I have also used text speech, and chatroom bdsm lingo for nearly 20 years, but I also type in slang and other "bad" english often. so I gloss over most of it.
Also auto correct can be hilarious or annoying, but its more accepted now certainly.
Sometimes I write seriously, sometimes Im anything but, I miss apostrophes ALL the time, sometimes I type carefully( usually at my desk), other times my tablet keyboard gives me the heebie jeebies.
Mind you I had to restrain my self from a post the other day talking about intelligence and using the word pennacle for pincacle. (dammit I knew I wasnt going to be able to keep myself from mentioning it.) Im sooo far from perfect:)
(grammos is a new one for me too)
In all my emails I try to be spotless in my English....except with friends, I type to them as I would say it vocally.
It did remind me of Sarah Palin, with her word scrambles.
The article that is.:)
