[quote]I'm sorry but it really isn't that hard to type out grammatically correct, coherent sentences. I can't read a post without picking out 15 wrong uses of your and you're, or their, there, and they're. Use your big kid words.[/quote] Firstly, [i]speaking[/i] English is an irrelevant term in this conversation because in verbal communication one does not consider commas or differentiate between their/there. Secondly, for the purpose of this subject, there's quite a bit of distance between being [i]coherent[/i] and [i]grammatically correct[/i]. One can improperly use [i]their/there[/i] and still communicate with precision the point they're trying to get across. So, coherence is more important than grammar; the previous sentence improperly ends with a preposition but I bet you understood what I was trying to communicate, right? Even though your grammar isn't the tightest, even though you make mistakes too, I wouldn't pick them all out because these are forums and the style of communication here is informal. Don't read people's posts like you're marking homework, not unless your grammar is 100% perfect.

  • The whole preposition thing is generally agreed upon to have no real use in modern English. It was necessary in the Latin language, but entirely unnecessary in English. If a sentence is worded properly and will make sense, you can end it however you please.

  • Damnit, stop trying to be all logical to the wanna be grammar trolls; it's beyond their comprehension. Most people on here would probably get confused all to hell if posts like yours started popping up. Lol

  • Grammar bother me a little, however this is an informal environment. There is no expectation of coherency.
