noticed whether or not your grammar, sentence structure, etc is bad on mylot?

Yes this is true and happens quite often with me. Although I do re-read a lot of times, I guess my eyes play tricks sometimes. I do strive for perfect English with no errors but it happens and sometimes I do go back and make a comment to my response to correct it. I think a lot of us are sort of having so much fun here that we even overlook errors sometimes, as if our eyes are self editing what we are reading. lol

Yes! I do this all the time. I leave out a word or make a painful grammar mistake. My posts always have at least one of these - without I would get scared. I would wonder what was wrong with me. ;) Besides, myLot is about fun and socializing. If I want to write like academia I wouldn't be here.

I try to keep my grammer as good as possible here on mylot. Sometimes I may be rushing and make a typo, but I don't do that on purpose. Unfortunately I usually don't notice until after I push the submit button and then I see that I have made an error, that is always dissapointing to me. I think everyone messes up once in a while though.

Well it happens to me as well. I would be so involved to answer and once i post my answer and try to read, i find i have mispelled, missed a word and so on. But i believe it would be understandable for the others. As mylot is great place to communicate and hope the spellings and grammar wont be a problem.

Nobody's perfect. That, we should always put it mind. Sometimes , in my haste i wasn't able to proof read what i have just typed. Hence , Tickling, was typed as ticking. Or the way i typed a word such as used will be sued. Well, here at Mylot, grammar is not much of a problem. It is the way we are able to express ourselves, that matters actually.

I personally noticed many mistakes of syntheses and spellings etc. in MyLot sent by some of MyLot participants here. Hope MyLot authorities would care to have posted those postings which are found correct to great extent or at least they edit them and then have those postings published...

Yes on the spelling side. As for the rest most of the time others notice them first. Most probably they were the result of trying to do several things at the same time. Watching Internet TV and thinking of something else while mylotting are normal to me.

Hi, Interesting discussion.You are right.Often in a hurry to participate in discussions we mistype or misspell words.It has happened with me in some discussions where I have responded in detail but then read my response and found that may be I have written "but' with a space in between-as "b ut".It feels so terrible then when we read our responses ourselves.One day I found myself so drowsy I did not know what to type though I wanted to answer a discussion and then I ended up with typing errors.I wish there was an edit option which would allow us to correct our mistakes. Have a nice day.

It happens. Not intentionally. I think I have fried my brain because I had to homeschool my son in the last 3 years of his high school. I graduated in 1970. English and structure has changed a lot. If you don't believe it go sign on to grammarly.com You will be able to use it free for 7 days. I use it to assist me with my writing articles. The way English is taught today is so complicated. I know I litterally made my health worse teaching my son for those 3 years. I had to learn it to teach it so there were many nights of burning the candle at both ends so to speak. We have to take in consideration all cultures come and have broken english. We also have people that have not finished highschool let alone go to college or any other school. Some have done the 6 week get your diploma thing and they are not actually graduated from high school with all that needs to be done. While I am in my first stage of dementia, thats why I do mylot to try to stay active in my learnings and reading. I also have other illnesses that can make me mess up. My girlfriend from Canada said she can tell when I have taken my meds and then write her an email. I just love reading regardless if they are 100% correct or not. If its a discussion I like I can reply to. Even if some I cannot reply to I sometimes choose to read to learn. So we shouldn't be to hard on ourselves or others. Life happens even a misspelled word. There are many times I will spell something and swear it looks wrong and spell check it and its right. There are other times I am sure I am right and should have spell checked it So theres my sign LOL

Finally! Someone stands up for proper English spelling and grammer. I also have noticed that I make a lot of spelling errors on My Lot while I have no trouble writing on other sites. Some of the keys I am pressing are not registering and I don't realize it. So, I hit the next letter and then later discover that a letter has been left out. But, I don't think it is my fault. I don't know enough about how computers work to explain what I think is happening. But it has something to do with the software and the operating system you use. If you are worried about this, you can always hit the "preview response" button before you post.

I agree with you. I also made some mistakes in sentence construction, grammar, omit words, etc. unfortunately we can not correct these because we can not edit our discussions, responses and comments after these are posted. Or there is a way to edit but we just don't know how.

I have bad grammar and all kinds of things wrong on here! You know why? Because Mylot does not penalize me for it. At least I hope not. Anyway, I have other jobs I work where I have to count words, use correct grammar, e.c.t. And if I don't I get in trouble. I feel like on Mylot I can just kick back, relax, and type away.

I sometimes space out when I answer discussions in my Lot so grammar mistakes and left out words are inevitable. For me, as long as what I wrote still make sense then its okay. I usually proof read what I write but there are just those times where your brain does not function properly even when proof reading what you wrote that there are really a lot of embarassing mistakes on your replies. It's a good thing everyone can relate about this here.

Oh yes, very true. sometimes we focus so much on the discussions that we don't even notice how badly we write. Another reason for this is, many MyLot users live in countries with different languages, such as myself, so it may be hard for some of us to write on a foreign language since it is not our primary one and it makes it harder for us to express ourselves correctly. I also laugh each time I see my mistakes

For me yes but if it is became red meaning not good word you put so change it in good manner so that red not again mark you.

oh i make quite a few mistakes too, and the annoying thing is, though i read them through before i post them, i always see something i've missed after i've posted it. but the rules say we mustn't complain about grammar and spelling, as it is a website where many people don't have english as their first language. and i like that, as i find reading comments in forums where people complain about spelling and grammer annoying, as to post so many comments without any mistakes would require the sort of perfectionism that is too time consuming for anyone to adhere too. so dominque, you can't even complain about your own bad grammar or spelling!

Yes, Dominique. It really happens here for some reasons. Like me, I don't usually read again my comments or discussions before posting it. I just found later on when I had nothing to do and wanted to read all the posts that I made. I just laugh. It happens. I do have mistake. If mylot is for TECHNICAL WRITING where the staffs could check our ENGLISH then this would be a great thing. Many mylotters would really show how good they are in it. However, ideas and opinions are greatly needed in here so we can build good relationship with fellow mylotters. (hugs and kisses)

Yes same things happen to me also. Now adays we use so much time in surfing and chatting, our brain has adapted to the short-hand writing style. we chat with lots of friends simultaneously, so with the increasing need of sending replies to all of them, the size the words has constantly decreased. Even most conscious persons also do this if he is tired, because subconscious mind plays significant role at that time, our concious mind being a little indifferent.
