Are you conscious about your grammar in responding and creating discussions?

I usualy try my best to ase correct grammar and spelling, trying to avoid spelling mistakes. If you have a look at the English language, you would find differnse in some spelling of the words and differense in grammer when you move betwen countrieseg. America differs from England. As for spelling, i try my best but at times like now it is dificult. I am on dialysis and my eyes does not want to stay open and i cannot concentrate. I have to sit here for four hours and I want to use the time a productive as possible on mylot. I can only work for so long before I have to shut down, then I sleep for a while until the treatment is finish. This respond would normaly not take more than two minutes at the most to type, I type slow. While on dialysis it takes about fivr minutes, and then there are some spelling mistakes as well. Good topic, thanks. I tried very hard to do this one right, how did I do?

Hiya Well, to be honest, I'm overly meticulous about my grammar. Thing is, grammar has been my lil' forte since my earliest days. I've always done quite well in that area; in fact we had an English-2 Subject which was entirely dedicated to grammar. I'm proud to claim that I've absolutely dominated that one. I ain't boasting, but the fact says it that no one else was ever even close to my score! I might have corrected my grammar teachers' follies hundreds of times, leaving them embarrased. (I now realize it was absolutely wrong to do that) Also, many times students used to throng in queues to get it learnt from me. 8-) Enough of my self-gasconading, isn't it? lol So you see, it's kinda emotional stuff for me. So I do make it a point to at least sometimes check if I've erred in grammar. And thankfully, I haven't done any knowingly. Typo-errors are inevitable, but grammatical aren't, for me!

Well like you I am also not very conscious in thinking about by grammar while responding or creating discussions. I focus on the language that is understood by all rather than focusing on Grammar. I don't think it is very necessary that we focus on grammar here. Yeah...Mylot has greatly contributed towards my typing skill as well as my English proficiency. But proficiency in writing only, I can't speak as proficiently as I write... Happy mylotting...

As much i can make it right, the grammar, i do it. But sometimes you really dont know if it is the correct grammar. Sometimes i asked someone to read my topics and so they do some corrections. Im not perfect but i think i doing fine with it. I think what is important is the topic, how descriptive you are and people understand it, then its all set.

I don't ever read over my responses before I post them, hence the few errors I show, but it also shows, I'm human..oops, oh well, move on, and try again! I do tend to use appropriate punctuation more so than a lot of other people, but that's just out of habit, I do a lot of writing for my work as it is, so it's really only habitual, not conscious.

I'd like to communicate with English speakers very much,but I ofter make mistakes in grammar.It's really a big problem for me.So I'm nervous about it very much.Anyway,I think the point is to make myself clear.I'm not sure whether foreigners can understand me and whether they mind it.^^

I try to make good clear sentences but i do tend to make a few typing errors.Sometimes I just send the response across without editing it[I happen to overlook it when I am in a hurry or if the browser is troubling me].But they would be typos and not grammatical mistakes. e.g.thta for that , si for is etc..,

I always try to write the grammar right and make it fluent since English is not my first language so I might have some hard time writing it sometimes.

I watch as I type. If I spell something incorrectly, the computer will underline it in red. I have always been great at spelling and grammar, so it isn't too hard for me to skim over what I have written to make sure it's okay. I think that the better spelling and grammar we have, the better our points get across to one another. When someone can't spell anything, and uses "u" instead of "you" I tend to not take them seriously at all. Half the time I wont even read what they say. I have been blogging for years, so I have always thought that it was important to be clear, precise and correct while writing, or else you can't get your ideas across without misunderstanding.

I am. I'm too OC with this. I was trained to always make sure I speak and/or write with correct grammar. I prefer it this way too. It's difficult if I get used to something wrong, it becomes a habit.

I do have to type them all before editing them to be read much better before posting it into discussions. Its does not matter how long it is but if it has given enough information about what I have to talk about with the discussion, that would do. I mostly do it like an interview with me face to face with that person having to be writing for responses out there. I seldom rely on something but has to be unique and true to the best of my knowledge.

5 years back it was sms lingo for me. but today, im quiet cautios about it because i kinda feel it represents a person in you talking to another person.

I usually do a quick check for big typos, but I don't really check my post, since I think it's punctually is readable and my grammar is ok.

your post will is easily understood by other readers if you made it with consideration of grammar and spelling. i am not that good in english, coz im not an englishman in the first place, so i really am conscious with my grammar everytime i post or comment to anything else, especially if it is for the public. i am even hard up in posting coz i still have to decide on which appropriate terms to use, so creating a post is really time consuming for me. lol! i hope i could be a grammar expert.

Yes i'm really conscious of grammar when i post in Mylot bcoz a lot of people will be reading wat i post. Thank God there is Spell Check while posting discussions so that i can correct myself before posting it for the whole world to see

English being my second language though, I would not mind to take a deep care in posting discussions devoid of grammatical errors.At least at the time of posting, I would not think in my mother tongue and prefer to translate my thoughts to the English language.

I will try to use the correct grammar as I knew in responding and creating discussions. But it's normal for a human for a little mistake.

mylot made it clear to give a little allowance to other mylotters since not everyone has english as their primary language like me. however, you cannot blame the native speakers of english if they get impatient and uniterested with discussions they can't understand. personally, also, if i noticed i made a grammatical error in my posts i seldom get responses. but it's okay .

Hihi, ya i do agree with you that myLot has really helped me with my typing as well as my English proficiency. While i'm responding to discussions or posting a comment, i'll try my best to keep my English grammar in an understandable level and also try not to have grammar or typing mistakes in my comment. Since we're not allowed to use other language here, and the quality of the comments are important for better earning, i'll always keep in mind that i should use proper grammar and vocabularies in my responses.

I think that because a lot of people are doing so well with their grammar it puts pressure on people to be up to scratch with theirs because if not they'll stand out and not look professional, although i don't think it actually matters if you're grammatically correct, as long as you get your point across then who cares? not everybody's perfect and this isn't an English lesson.. but i do have a auto spell checker that corrects any spelling mistakes i do, unfortunately it doesn't correct grammar and that's where i suck so :( bad luck for me, hehe
