I think i am worse at my native Danish than English by now, for the simple reason that after leaving the 9.5 year long nightmare some call school i have done next to no writing other than my signature. On the internet i generally only frequent English speaking sites, and i dont have a single Danish page bookmarked other than the national weather center. I also think in English, and as a result swearing is done in English, but i will automatic change to German just before you better bring out the fists or run. 
the German "trick" that have a couple of times given me the upper hand as people have been WTF ????? instead of putting up a defensive / fighting stance.
Math are even worse as i have not used that to figure out things, not really even if i have several educations where math are used to a larger degree. ( machine worker / tool maker )
As a result of my traumatic school days, what i know with most things in life i have figured it out myself
I do know i rape the grammar often, but i feel i can be understood fine / with just a little effort, so thats all you are going to get as i am a lazy bastard too.

The problem seems to be related to something bigger that is happening throughout society. It seems that a lot more people in general are making many more mistakes in their day jobs that they would not have made two years ago, and a lot more frequently.
Either that, or I am turning into my grandfather.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge,Darwin.
If you can not explain something simply,you do not know the subject well enough.
look past others to find your way,you are as serious as your doubts.
there are too many letters that got lost on the way,yet wisdom has a way of replacing them.

I’m with ya on that! I’m probably guilty of not caring what people think of me grammar wise? I’m Way to comfortable in my own shoes and feel blessed to have shoes at all! I will never be a poet or try to impress one
.. unless he wants to watch me shoot of coarse. Haha!Upvote 0
I don't try too hard either. I was wondering if this whole thread was a personal attack on me at first...

A large number of people have zero issues. It doesn't even slow down my reading speed when I encounter things such as prior shared or the other posters. My children, even those only in second grade, also have no issues.
It's why I find threads like these, well, mostly silly. I'm happy to see the light hearted humor and kindness we share in this hobby and no individuals singled out.
As for me -- If the intent of the written word is communication and the above is clearly malformed, yet there are no problems reading and comprehending it, I don't see the gripe and I doubt threads such as these will serve any value other than to alienate or polarize those who may have a disability. I also don't wash my pellets, weigh them, sort them, or lubricate them with essential oils... but I won't deride those that do
No derision was intended or directed. Obviously (to me anyway) this wasn’t directed at anyone with a disability. I did say it was a bit of a rant after all

I stay away from posting via my phone because much more prone to typos and also because not the entire paragraph shows up on my iPhone se 2020.
We have a diverse membership from all walks of life. Thus the grammar and typos. I skip over a jumbled mess of a post where I suspect laziness , but I try to be helpful if I see effort albeit many basic mistakes.

All kidding aside, I'm guilty of hitting submit with errors as well. I proof, re-read and do try to make sense, but some days at 5 AM, or 11:30 PM, it might not make sense to anyone but me. Glad the human brain can recognize patterns and generally figure most stuff out. Otherwise, it'd be awful hard for me to survive. . . . .
Now, let's see. What did I screw up in the previous two sentences?

I saw the post title and thought "geeze what have I have done now".
My favorite posts have REALLY long sentences that turn into really long paragraphs and if it's upper case that is even better

I don't thing he is talking about the occasional error. There are some on here that I truly can't understand what they are saying. When you can't speak to someone in person or on the phone, words become extremely important.

I agree and some of those posts actually seem like joke bait. I've had quite a few wtf moments here.
