Grammar and credibility

[Ether-D]

Maybe its just me but I have a real hard time listening to political rants from people who don't use commas capital letters periods etc lets all learn some grammar then we can act like we know about politics and the way the world works though I could care less what kind of grammar or lack thereof someone uses when they talk about their engine

Let's all learn some grammar. Then we can act like we know about politics and the way the world works!

Though, I could care less what kind of grammar (or lack thereof) someone uses when they talk about their engine.

See how nice that is?

So what? I'm a dick in the morning...

Regardless, poor spelling and grammar comes off as uneducated.

If you can't take care in what your write, people won't care to read it.

I agree with you to a point. Im not educated but im not stupid. I dont use proper punctuation because Im lazy and im always going 90MPH
But I know how to speak in a crowd and I know the difference between there ,their and theyre. I also use slang when appropriate. But Id never say "I aint got no" in front of anyone either. I hear people on TV and politicions using poor grammar all the time... I dont get it

This times eleventy billion.

Not to mention I just plain can't spell to save my life.

I'm more of an ideas person. I don't really care if you shift verb tenses or make other minor grammatical errors when presenting an argument, but once they reach a level where clarity is compromised, then that is a problem.

I avoid this altogether by not reading the Politics subforum. I'm here for the lols, ownage, and members' E30s in all states of repair.

Isn't your post a huge run on that needs commas and periods
