You know what? The YOUR vs. YOU'RE thing really pisses me off.

Should one be able to differentiate between YOUR/YOU'RE and TO/TOO on MSN or AIM?

What does everyone think?  Is it too much to write the 're? Well then how about just adding an extra e? YOURE. That would be acceptable. And oh em gee does it just take "to" much effort to add an extra o ( Read more... )

I cannot be more clear or assertive in this statement.

I think that society's grammar is being shoved down the crapper. Yes, that's right- especially the guys'. Most of the little boys I have come in contact with can't even talk correctly, let alone write/type with correct grammar. It's really a sad thing, and what's even sadder is that I've found that there's nothing I can do to help them!
You know what else is starting to PISS ME OFF? msn/aim/e-mail slang, for example, l8er. I mean, we've graduated from middle school, haven't we?

I don't necessarily think people are simply lazy. They are truly unaware of the mistakes they make day by day in their writing. Also, the grammar problems don't just stop at your/you're and to/too. People have problems with then/than, there/they're/their, and who/whom, not to mention with spelling words like museum and psychic. GIVE ME A BREAK! I think colleges need to figure out some way to check for this problem so that schools can eradicate the bad grammar epidemic asap!

I agree in mucho-ness. I hate it when people are like "your so cool! You live in Japan! That's just way to cool!"

ugh. Damn anime otakus. They need a bit more schooling before representing their caste. Because I currently hate all otakus I come in contact with (minus a select few, me included. :P) with a vengence.
