Does bad Grammar and Spellings Annoy You?

In Malaysia, English is considered as our second language while Bahasa Malaysia ( Malay) is the National language for our country.

I believed that certain Asian countries had adapted English as their second language too since it is easy to speak, write and read English from A to Z.

 Although I do not embrace a 100% perfect English, I could still write articles without much grammar or spelling mistakes.

Thanks to MsWord that comes with the Spelling Checks that had helped me to sort out the mistakes.

You can see the red jaggard line under the word that is not in the list.

Right click the word, you will have the option to choose the correct spelling or simply ignore it.

In Evernote, you could use it online to draft out your article and check the spellings under Tools.

However, there isn’t any Wordcount unlike MsWord that has this feature.

 

Are you annoyed with Bad Grammar and Spellings?

  • Nope. Everyone is not perfect.
  • A few spelling mistakes are acceptable due to typing mistakes especially when one is using smartphone. The touchscreen keys are closed to each other.
  • Bad grammar is acceptable if the writer’s origin country is located in Asia. Furthermore, English is not his mother tongue.

 

 

 

 

Are you annoyed with CAPS LOCK writings?

  • Yes, definitely.
  • CAPS LOCK signify that a writer is writing in a raging mood, angry and commanding language.
  • It sends the message of SHOUTING and DEMAND that do not please any readers at all.
  • It is wise to check the CAPS LOCK is off before you publish your article.

 

 

 

Are you annoyed with “No punctuation marks”?

Yes, I am.

Without punctuation marks such as :

. ( full stop)

, (comma)

! ( exclamation mark)

it is difficult to read a post that goes on and on without an ending.

Although, a writer with a good common sense could figure out where the sentence stops, which sentence begins, it is uncomfortable to read a full page of sentences without a pausing mark.

Conclusion:

Last but not least, not everyone is a professional writer here.

We are here to learn and to express ourselves freely in our posts.

It would be kind to accept “remarks” from your fellow friends in order to improve your writings.

Do not judge it as an insult to your writings.

We learn from mistakes.

However, the saddest thing is we COULD NOT edit our mistakes in our posts!

Hence, it is wise to double check for grammar and spelling mistakes before submission.

Do not rush your work.

As the saying goes: Practice makes perfect”

    • Yes it does, but I know we are not perfect. English is not our first language so mistakes are bound to happen. So, nothing to worry on this count as long you're not absolutely out of place :)

    • Once I read an article by a doctor and I pointed out to her a few mistakes. She was so glad I told her. I have read books where I have found more than just a few mistakes. I want to enjoy reading while learning. Picking at writer's mistakes should be the last thing on their minds.

    • I don't feel annoyed since grammar is not also perfect. The simple basic grammar rule contradicts its principles.

      You (subject) are (verb) intelligent (object).

      As it was stated, if the subject is singular then we need to use a singular verb. If we get back to my sample sentence, it definitely contradicts the Subject-Verb Agreement. However, it is considered acceptable case in grammar rules.
