They may know grammar but nothing of graphic design

Can't say I agree with Bruce's flowchart.
One of the main reasons I find the Cellar home is that it is populated by literate people. Yes, we all make mistakes - I find hideous ones in my old posts all the time (serves me right for being vain enough to reread them) - but there are very few genuine mis-spellings or grammatical howlers. Also, people are pretty much laid back in pointing them out, unless someone is being insufferable. We are happy to accept our dyslexic posters; the question "Do you understand the post?" applies very much so in those situations. We're adult enough to understand that poor spelling does not equal low intelligence. I know now and then people will come around and all us cliquey and intolerant. But even without being in the Treehouse Club I don't think that is true. Decent place, indecent people. Damn, off to the tagline thread for a love-in. |

I can't say I'm much bothered by grammatical errors, or indeed spelling mistakes. As long as it is clear what the poster is trying to communicate, it matters not a jot to me.
Language is communication: if it successfully communicates what it is intended to communicate it has served its purpose just fine.

No they ain't!
I'm not saying I don't notice these things. I do. From time to time they may even jar a little when reading something. But overall, I honestly am not bothered. I don't think it's that big a deal. As long as someone gets across what they're trying to say then why would it be?

PMS and pre-menopause meet? You're lucky you don't spontaneously combust.

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't any criminals, one *makes* them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that neither can be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt.
