Sorry guys about my grammar

[JohnKleeb]

didnt know it was a problem but I have heard two critiques lately. Thanks I didnt know and now I got to work on it. If I have confused anyone with my bad grammar I really am sorry. It makes me sound stupid or idiotic or both. Thanks for letting me know and I appreciate it.

[MuseRider]

1. I can't spell

and my grammar is less than perfect (I can't remember the rule about ' after esses). You are forgiven by about 99% of us I would expect.

BTW now I got to work you should have used I've :D

[cherryperry]

2. It's not a problem!

We simply presumed you were in fact stupid or idiotic or both :loveya: LOL!

[HEyHEY]

3. Screw grammar on DU

I am a journalist for christ's sake and I don't even bother being careful on here. ALthough I should, I may develop bad habits

[JohnKleeb]

4. thanks but two critques in the last week got me thinking

So it comes down to this honestly can you all understand what I am saying?

[MuseRider]

6. I have always

enjoyed your posts. I don't think I have ever had a problem understanding you.

[JohnKleeb]

7. thank you

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I understand what you're saying...

and I admire you for taking the high road with regard to any critiques you've received.

It takes tremendous strength of character to turn uninvited criticism into an opportunity for self-growth.

Cheers! :toast:

[JohnKleeb]

11. I really felt kinda embarassed and just wanted to see what people felt

I should work on it but I am kinda posting how I talk which is probably why this happens.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Personally, I think if a critique is asked for, it's fine to discuss grammar. If it isn't asked for, it's kind of rude to criticize; unless you really can't understand the gist of the person's post.

I haven't found that to be a problem with yours.

[HEyHEY]

13. actually you should have written

"So it comes down to this, honestly can you all understand what I'm saying?"

[JohnKleeb]

14. d'oh thanks

I really suck don't I. So can you basically understand me? I really apologize for this but its me talking with out opening my mouth simply put. That is how I talk here I know its stupid or immature whatever.

[catpower2000]

20. ACTUALLY, he should have written...

"So, it comes down to this; honestly, can you all understand what I'm saying?"

[leftist_rebel1569]

21. wouldn't it be....

"So, it comes down to this; Honestly, can you all understand what I'm saying?"

[catpower2000]

27. No. You do not capitalize after a semicolon nt

[JohnKleeb]

23. heh cat I guess so

You werent the first to comment on my :puke: grammar. Its ok I wasnt mad but it bothers me that my grammar is that cruddy.

[trof]

17. Well...a few commas

never hurt anybody very much.
But go read Mark Morford sometime.
I've actually copied his style some.

[legin]

5. hey cut it out ! JohnKleeb

I never had no problems with your writting style. If you're going to start trying to improve your writting style then I should.
1. Life is too short
2. it wouldn't matter if I spent 50 years studying to improve my style my sentences would still come out the wrong way round and it is only luck when they do turn out right.

[leftyandproud]

8. a lot of people spell grammar "grammer"..

so don't sweat it ;)

[TrogL]

9. This'll fix you up

s/y\sguys/y,\sguys,/
s/nks/nks,/
s/dnt/dn\'t/g

[tpub]

12. JohnKleeb, I love your run-on sentences

It's stream-of-consciousness and makes me feel like I'm in your head. It's great!

[leftist_rebel1569]

15. yeah...you have problems!

FIX 'EM, DAMMIT! :D

You know i'm just playin...your grammar isn't that bad, but I've gotten used to it though. Don't worry about sounding like an idiot either...always remember I'm gonna sound dumber than you

[JohnKleeb]

16. ok thanks for the honesty lol dude yeah I know you just play around

You've seen me kinda talk in dialect too which can be amusing to a degree. No the person who sounds the dumbest is the "sneak" freeper infiltrator who exposes himself in the first post its called infiltrating NOT doing it Rambo lol.

[leftist_rebel1569]

19. lol...RAMBO FREEPER!

that's as scary is it is funny...

Edit: Your grammar isn't as bad as your usage of commas, lack thereof. Sorry...no offense...but that's your grammar problem.

[JohnKleeb]

22. lol my point being

If you are gonna infiltrate be sneaky. Like if I wanted to infiltrate the school's young republicans lets say. I would have to pretend to be like one of them not say well isnt that tax cut a little too pro wealthy or the one that would expose me gays arent so bad or even bigger you know the war was wrong. For those reasons I could never go undercover in anything. Reminds me in the great escape Macdonald and Bartlett are so used to speaking English naturally when the gestapo officer says good luck Mac says inadvertnely good luck and their cover is blown. Its easier for some than others to fit in to different surroundings. I would probably blurt out stuff if I infiltrated young republicans or I could do the total opposite of just flat out disagreeing try to make them more radical that may or may not work though. So my point is if you are gonna sneak in on someone or something do it stealthy not Ramboish.

24. John,

I've always been able to figure out what you're saying. Commas really ARE your problem, though. :-) Your writing can be a little hard to figure out sometimes, but it is obvious that your thoughts and statements are coming from an intelligent person.

[JohnKleeb]

25. aye so its the commas thanks though

The commas are my problem thats it. Well the good thing is at least you guys arent reading my real writting then I would understand completely where you are coming from, I got the worst handwriting.

18. Hey John -

Some guy once said to me, "Your grammar is atrocious!"
I told him, "Hey! Leave my family out of this!"

Thanks! I'll be here all week - - tip your waitress - -

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Hey, no sweat, I have a fondness for overusing

...even though... it's not really... the correct...thing ... to do... It's just a bad habit now...

Now go look at my son on his bumper sticker thread and tell me how cute he is.;)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

29. It's alright.

To be honest with you, I have a friend like that- She is very smart but has problems with spelling and grammar. Not to be nosy or anything, but do you think it has something to do with you being LD? :shrug: Just something I've picked up on, but it doesn't bother me :)

[XanaDUer]

30. Hi John-Don't worry about it!

I always enjoy reading your posts. :)
