What Do You Think About…Grammar?

Written by:

Making Time For Me

When you are reading, does it bother you?  Do misspelled words and poorly phrased sentences catch your attention?

Once you do notice it, can you take your mind off of it?

Do you continue reading the post or article?

What about if you notice the mistake in your own work?  Do you quickly edit it, hoping that no one else has noticed?

Are you harder on yourself or on others?

    I’m typo queen, I’m used to people correcting my spelling and that doesn’t bother me a bit.

        Thank you ❤ Typos are part of my imperfection, I'm not ashamed when someone correct me, I see it as a learning process

    I have more mistakes that I would like too but like Nadine said, I love people to correct me. It makes me feel like I am learning and I love to learn everything minute of my life. I just worry about creating and if some wants to correct me then amazing. I thank them for it.

    If I’m reading a news article, or something of the like, and I see a typo, I immediately stop reading and look for the story somewhere else. If you cannot take the time to spell check your news article, why should I believe that you take time to actually get the facts straight?

        I think it really shows a lack of professionalism. As a college English student, I get ripped for my typos. Journalists should be held to a certain standard.

    I am definitely annoyed when I find errors in my work! Especially as I check three times, I find it so frustrating!

    Oh, I have no shame in saying that I am a dedicated GrammarNazi. I absolutely hate when notice my blog posts have typos or the wrong grammar.

    Totally stop reading a post that has so many grammatical errors. I can’t get through it. I’ve made mistakes that weren’t caught by spell check because it is spelled correctly but the wrong word for the sentence (i.e. vein/vane/vain) and will fix it immediately.

      Is that too snobby? I mean I think the same thing, but is it fair? Lol

        Nope. I mean would you let them know that their post is full of grammatical errors? If not, then why continue to read it. We are all busy.

    I spend so much time trying to figure out the appropriate place for commas and proofreading my work and I still find errors when published. Writing is certainly not one of my strengths but I enjoy it and do my best. I know how easy it is to make a mistake and how much time is involved in getting that final draft ready to post, so I try not to judge.

    Minor ones don’t really bother me…a missing word here or there. I can usually fill in the blanks. Misspelled words…maybe. I know that sometimes I go back and find a mistake in one of my posts and that bothers me. I immediately edit it.
    We all make mistakes…our minds are thinking one thing and we type another. I call those things “bloopers.”
    One of my favorite bloopers came from one of my favorite bloggers….LOL
    I asked a question for an award. It was “what do you want on your tombstone?”
    Her answer was “I’m not going to have a tombstone because I’m going to be buried.”
    Remember? 🙂
