Please edit that to say "were", it's giving me an aneurysm.

Edit: downvoted for being right, typical Lemmy.

    Spelling and grammar are important. Language is only as useful as it is commonly and uniformly understood.

    Ironically, you have omitted punctuation.

    90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it's never about protecting the "sanctity" of grammar - it's more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.

    The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for the communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.

    I love me some irony, and felt this comment train was more engaging than the post itself; so I'm contributing to its further development.

    “It’s not necessary to be instantly readable.”

    Also: “I’m too lazy to learn simple concepts so you’ll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences”

    Furthermore, you dropped some commas.

    That's kind an argument for not caring about spelling and grammar. We can all tell what Xepp meant. The principle at hand is why linguists say that insisting on rigid grammar and spelling is pointless. Also, language evolves... otherwise we'd be saying thy and thou. Dialects other than the 'prestige dialect' spoken and written by people with the highest access to education are considered perfectly legitimate because all that matters is whether the listener can understand..

    Bill helped his brother, jack, off a horse.

    Bill helped his brother jack off a horse

    It doesn't take much sometimes for a sentence to completely change meaning,l; at best we knew what he meant but struggled through it slightly.
