Intentional, my friend.

^ I spy 8 grammatical/spelling errors in that post. 
 
PS, you forgot affect/effect.

You missed two other intentional misspellings in my post.

 

You missed my intentional misuse of two other homophones.

 

Intentional, my friend.

Riiiight. :rolleyes:

^ You're just messin' with me now... or should I have said "your" as so many do these days? My "genius" satire was intended to point out errors that I see every day in places like this website. I'm dating myself, but when I went to school we got flunked for mistakes like the ones that I put in my post. 
 
Now allow me to mess with you: can you find the two other intentional misspellings in my post? Can you find the two other incorrect homophones in my post?

But bad grammer is OK also. It doesn't effect peoples view of you and also using the "right" words aren't that important. Also spelling is overated. Its not that important either. If people want to be judgemental thats there problem. 

 
I don't see any more homophones or misspellings, but sentence structure aside there's three punctuation errors; apostrophes are missing on the bolded words above. One outside the s, two on the inside.

"But bad grammer is OK also. It doesn't effect peoples view of you and also using the "right" words aren't that important. Also spelling is overated. Its not that important either. If people want to be judgemental thats there problem."

Not counting grammar or overrated:

judgmental - such an illogical spelling I always thought.

I think that was it right? I mean OK is often caught by spell-check that I've used so I use okay instead (ironically not caught by this spell-check ).

effect should be affect (which was mentioned earlier but you did not quote)

I don't see any other homophones.

I'm in your camp really. Even though my grammar is far from the standard, ending sentences with prepositions and such, I feel that in this medium we should try to be as precise as possible if we want to get our meaning across (unless of course, at those times, when we don't want to be precise ). I was going to use a speaking analogy to make a point but realised that it would only further prove the arguement of the other camp, unfortunately.

Can you find the misspelling in my last paragraph?

Wow, I've been misspelling "judgemental" for a long time 

 
But I'm okay with OK 

 

 

[Permagrin]

Also hate how seemingly 99% of the internet thinks that "Your a looser" is spelled correctly. It's not like they don't have immediate access to proof their messages. :rolleyes:

lol me too.

Actually I recall learning the proper spelling in school (spelling bees) but forgot up until a few years ago since the internet is so prevalent. I usually spell things phonetically logical, or as logical as my mind works anyway...

Regarding the simplification of language, let's hope it doesn't lead to "Amp performance: doubleplusgood" 
 
Hint: Orwell
 
Anyone auditioned one of these?

Looks promising.

If simplification of language would increase information density I'd be all for it. It's bad enough as is though.

In the right context, perhaps. I very much enjoy the use of rich language as a form of creative expression.

Mis-spelling can be OK, too. As lnog as the frsit and lsat ltetres of wrods are included, yuor barin wlil do the rset. 

 

[Loevhagen]

Are you bashing the non-native speaking English members here?!

 

[sphinxvc]

I've been misspelling judgmental as well.  
 
So we're at 9 errors.
MHinGA, I suspected it might be intentional.

Ah, yes.  Timely reference.  

 
Goodthinkful.

Consequently lazy brains paved the way for Freudian reading comprehension failures.

It's bad enough that most expressions can be inferred as sexual double entendres but c'mon. It almost makes me believe that reality was created by an intelligent, albeit horny, progenitor.
