I don’t understand why people often speak and write with poor grammar. How do they do it and not groan afterward?
Yes, spoken words are usually less grammatical than written words, but that doesn’t explain why a person would want to flaunt their ignorance.
How do they derive pleasure from abbreviating words so much that there is practically no meaning nor intellectual backbone to them? Why not just stick a sign on your forehead that says, “Yo I speak dumb (n I wanna b dumb)”? That may be harsh, but it seems they’re setting themselves up for failure and making it much more challenging for others to recognize their potential and capabilities.
I think that no matter what you’re saying, you’re communicating effectively. You’re communicating the message you want others to see and think, subconsciously or not. If you broadcast yourself as an idiot, don’t be surprised if people see you as one.
Perhaps I love grammar too much, but sometimes it’s a challenge to not whip out a red pen to edit and revise others’ words.
