Grammar and spelling

1. 70

   wesleycoxposted 14 years ago

   I don't know about anyone else but I cannot stand it when you go to read something only to find it riddled with grammar errors and spelling errors.
   
   I'll give on the occasional misspelled word, we all do it once in a while.  However, I absolutely hate it when I can't make sense of what is written. 
   
   Take the below example for instance:
   
   [please i  begin to wonder how people will seat somewhere and device a means of reaping off other people's hard earn properties. i wonder you ever noticed how most of this fraudster carefully launch a campaign to mislead and dupe people. dont they have concience?..... i seat and i look because am confused.]

         I agree... many times people do not realize they are making mistakes. To them, their English is fine. Specially if they are in a place where English is not commonly spoken, they might even consider themselves "exceptional" English writers and speakers.
         
         Using the thumbs down button will give them a reality check, which hopefully will result to some improvement.

      THAT is another thing I cannot stand here!  How is it that people who write like that and spell like that can have a high score!?  Don't you think that should count against you?  It's one thing if you do it once in awhile or edit it within a certain period of time but when it is obvious that you don't know you are ignorant then you should not be awarded a high score!  (You should have seen the mess on this one hub about M. Jackson!)
      Oh, it's okay that you are an idiot because you are writing a hub about a "no brainer/don't have to have any imagination to get traffic" topic!  Damn, what is that about anyway?

   I know what you mean. I always find my errors "after" someone else has had time to read it first. Gee...then I go back and fix it.
   I dislike mispelled words and as far as grammar...normally yes, but there are certain phrases or sentences I may use that fits the audience or context of the writing. This will at times be grammatically incorrect.

   Frankly...
   
   I am a sloppy, and lazy spell/grammar checker.  The positive side is that I am a pretty good speller, and my writing tends to be pretty clear unless I am writing something with several apositives, which I tend to do, as you can see, which unfortunately makes my sentences have the tendency of running several pages long.  /sigh

      My mother tongue is German. Almost all German speakers have the bad habit to use looooooooong sentences. It is a real problem for me when writing in English to write in clear, short sentences. This is just so atypical to German writers/speakers .
      
      Concerning grammar / spelling errors: I detect most of my (many) errors mainly the day after publishing when I reread the hub during my worktime in the office. However, when I am again at home I have long forgotten the errors and I am usually unable to find them again. This is really a conundrum for me. I hope I do not annoy my readers too much.

         Nah, your stuff looks pretty top-notch to me. I would never have guessed that English wasn't your first language. Conversely, you have me who speaks supposed fluent English and took a teensy bit of German in school. I couldn't write a half-decent Hub in German if you were holding a Schuswaffe to my head! Your hubs are about as far as it gets from the crappy grammar being referred to here!

      I have read those types of comments and articles, what I have done has tried to assist them with the spelling and grammar because some of the writers are not completely English literate. I for one have re-read some of my articles and found a word or two that was wrong or even a run on sentence.lolololo

   A type-o here or there or a smattering of mistakes among a good amount of nice writing doesn't bug me. BUT, I do find myself somewhat bothered when I see a hub that is riddled w/ misspellings and grammatical errors (especially if this re-occurs in hub after hub by the same author). I do believe that such poor quality "articles" could affect the overall integrity of the site. It does make me snicker when somebody with atrocious hubs grammar/spelling/syntax-wise rants & raves about not making any money. They wonder why others who work hard and take time to minimize such mistakes give them a hard time.

                However, you don't have a right to receive an answer that satisfies you. And demanding he answers your question does not lead to peace in the forums.

       One of the rules here on hubpages is that the hubs be in English.  So we can forget all about any language barriers, second language comments. 
       When someone hands me a check for writing it is my job to make sure my message and content can be understood.  it is part of my job as a writer. 
       Yes.  I have an editor but my editor should not have to do too much work making my actual message understandable.  If my editor has to do that then I am not doing my job as a writer very well.  Therefore, when I am evaluated as a writer I should be evaluated on my grammar, spelling AND content.  A typo here and there is one thing but having a high score when all your hubs look like they've been written by a young child should exclude you from having a high score.
       Yeah.  We are all "perfect" as we are.  Tell that to the women I date!

             Okay.
             Time to clarify.
             I was making a joke about the women I date.
             
             I should have broken up my response into smaller paragraphs, I guess.
             No.  I did not hire an editor for my hubs.  I have an editor (or editors) for my PAID writing gigs.
             Reread with that thought in mind and my point will be much clearer.
             Regarding the French: Je suis tres intelligente mais je ne parle pas Francais tres bien.
             Wow.  I have not had French since the first year of my first college degree.
             Avec qui est-ce tu te couche ce soir?  Avec moi?
             Okay.  Sorry for the confusion.
             Again, I just feel that if one of the requirements is to write hubs in ENGLISH than a certain portion of your score should be influenced by your mastery or lack thereof. 
             Plus, if you have a PAID gig as a writer and your editor has to correct your work too much that reflects on how well you do your job (in this case writing).  if your pay would be influenced by your performance in a PAID writing gig then grammar and spelling should count to SOME degree when it comes to  your score.
             I don't expect anyone with a score close to 100 to agree with this opinion but there you have it. Now, back to our regularly scdeduled hubs. . .

    What the...??? I left for a few hours to write a hub and also to read beautyrose's hubs and when I got back she is no longer around???? Oh well, I should just give my comments on the "comment" section of her hubs.
    
    Uhhhmmm, as to the topic, I'm fairly tolerant when it comes to wrong spelling, typos and such (I commit them all the time). But wrong grammar is another thing. One or two wrong grammy (as I call them) is fine but if the hub is littered with them, I'll stop reading and just leave. I get enough of those kind of grammar from my students' essays and I don't want to add on to my headache by reading the same thing here .

    I generally don't make it past page 3 on long forums that I'm late to, but that was amusing.  It's fun to watch someone totally missing the point and getting their dander up so needlessly.
    
    As for the grammar thing, if a point is made well enough, if the voice is engaging enough, the writing will carry the piece.  The less engaging the voice, the more the grammar needs to be solid to prevent distraction.  It's a balance between personality and authority. 
    
    That said, I do prefer people make a good effort at proofreading their stuff.

    There's always more to learn about grammar - even we English natives think we know everything, but we don't. I reckon I'll be learning till I die.
    
    One thing that especially gets to me is the fact that in British schools, English grammar is not taught. It is assumed that school children know about what is and isn't grammatical - but of course they don't.
    
    Grammar is like long division. The UK's primary and secondary education system almost entirely neglects to teach it!!! This has been my experience, at least.
