Simple rules of respectful language within our groups.

[light_algur]

I agree on the first ones, but how in the world is typing "u" is disrespectful? Maybe offensive to you.

"w" "u" "r" ...lol

Totally agree. And some people needs to learn some English grammar. I see that some people who are native English speakers don't know the grammar well. They write "where" when the correct word would be "were", for example "they where the...".Or they use "your" when they should use "you're" and the opposite.

I'm continually learning English and I also try to write normally. English is my second language but I noticed that sometimes I can speak English better than some native-speakers.

Most people who learn English as a second language speak and write it better than those who grow up with it, mainly due to their voluntarily undergoing and remembering the formal education they receive. For native speakers, the formal training starts at a young age and usually ends at a young age unless the particular individual pursues it as a teenager or adult. The passion and drive to learn a second language is usually far greater than one's affinity for their native tongue in my opinion and many of the foreign nationals with whom I deal with regularly on account of my studies have demonstrated their formal education with English as being far superior to that which we native speakers are initially indoctrinated with.That being said, I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule as with anything but more importantly it is necessary to respect each and every persons right to express themselves as they feel and see fit, the power of which expression may or may not be diminished or increased by the improper use or correct use of proper English and its grammatical rules respectively.HAIL SATAN!!

Fourth Reich said "u" is just laziness. He didn't call it disrespectful at all.

 

[call_me_something_else]

I agree with Fourth Reich and want to add, even in the case of native English speakers, grammatical errors are understandable. The written word is not everyone's strong suit. Also, some of us are writing while under attack from the enemy. Or, maybe our keyboards are old and we're not the best typists. I've known some absolutely brilliant people in my life who just aren't good spellers. Y'all realize people learn in different ways, right?If all somebody has to complain about is grammar, spelling and punctuation, they got nothing.

 

[hungaryan1]

No, I'm not far. I don't understand what you mean.Maybe did you misunderstand me? Please read my comment again. Thank you!I said there are native English people who can't write and spell correctly. Yes, I agree with you, when someone is not a native speaker grammatical errors are understandable.

People will still use modern English, and it may become simplistic even more with time, they aren't going to use old English just becuase it sounds better. All spoken languages (different as just reasig languages as Latin) tends to shorten and become more simplistc with time as it is used in conversation, and so grammar with time must agree and accept what is socially accepted not the inverse. I do not think it is a matter of Yehuborim corruption, this is social motion. Shakespeare would also find lazy nowdays english even if it's totally in agreement with nowdays grammar rules.Today nobody say "thou" but "you", and with time the way to write it may become "u". Same for other languages, for Portuguese as example, in imperial times portuguese word for "you" was "vossa merce", then it became "vos mice", today it is "voce" and with time will be accepted in grammar just "ce", as it is spoken today.

Definitely agreed Egon.However, remember that people will sooner write 'you' than 'u'; sooner 'how to dedicate' rather than 'how 2 dedicate', etc. The truth is that people are taught Standard English - abbreviations and the like come in time, yet they will not override the rules of decency.HS!
