There was an article in my local newspaper about how the abbreviated language used in SMS-ing was completely ruining the English language. Not only was grammar and punctuation totally ignored but spelling (what little there was of it) was bombastically poor as well.

And I thought '1337-sp33k" was bad...

i am a horrible speller, but seriously some of the messages i have gotten from men are pointless. especially where they spelled single wrong.. hello its a dating site how many places do you see the word on the site. you could at least get that right.. you know?

Very true... im's and texting has lowered our expectations of proper english.... I think keeping it there is ok but if you can't format a business email or letter properly then it's a huge problem... Writng someone for the first time in email I think it should be well written unless neither are looking for someone with 1/2 a brain...

The absolute worst for me is something I call "steamrolling", where the writer seems to forgo ANY sort of punctuation. Every sentence is practically a run-on and doesn't end until the very end. It can drag on for an eternity too, which is also quite annoying.

Example- a lady site mailed a couple of days ago and what she wrote goes something like this (its not an exact reprint of what she wrote)

"hi my name is **** i like your profile its 2 funny i showed my bff and she laffed hard it was 2 funny that white cat was scary tho why does it have to smile like that it made me scared if you wanna email me my email is *********@***.net i think your cute"

And so on and so forth. Not good for me and my sore eyes, I'll tell you that much.

I know exactly what you mean... Usually I attribute emails like that to someone simply not knowning how to wrire properly... Of course I'm the queen of run on sentences so I have to be very careful bigsmile

I'd venture that the downfall of grammar and syntax started circa 1994 when AOL introduced their IM service...lol

It might be completely shallow of me, but if someone writes using only one letter for a word, blows off vowels entirely, or cannot form a logical thought without spoon and a bottle of vodka, I won't even bother responding.

Standards? A "grammar nazi"? Snobby? Call it what you will. We've all seen those pictures on the internet of funny signs and misspellings on marquees and windows. Personally, they aren't all that funny to me. . . <sigh>
