This really gets under my skin. Those of us that wasn't able to get an education due to things that was out of our control. Sometimes i even hesitate to post here, thinking i might use the wrong word or not spell it right,but the hell with all you that are so concern about being perfect with your English. Some of us try hard so thats good enough for me. Go Vols

Whoa, hold on here!
We go out of our way as an online community NOT to comment on grammar, misspelling and the like. We don't make fun of that kind of stuff here.
This is a very rare thread. This topic is almost never discussed here. So just calm yourself right down, quit cursing people and don't hesitate to post.

I'm terrible about not proof reading anything I type while on mobile. I don't blame my phone. I blame myself for doing too many things at once. I miss words a lot for some dumb reason.

Like RockyTopATL said, this is probably the only thing I've ever seen, either thread or comment, about the correction of grammar on this board. I wouldn't let it keep you from posting on the board, cause ultimately no one cares about grammar, only whether or not you you've got something worthwhile to say, and hell, I usually don't, but I've almost doubled my post count in the last 7 days all for a dang badge that may or may not happen.

If someone is trying to be a smartass I will call them out on grammar. Other than that, it's really not worth the time.

Geez, I really was only curious about the possibility of voice recognition writing. I did not mean to set off a maelstrom. I respect the guys who run this site. I cannot imagine having fingers that can type faster than I can think. My intent was not to "dis" anyone, actually I am very surprised at the volume of discussion it generated. Go Vols.....beet Ky. T

I didn't take it like you were out to "dis" anyone.

It's the dead time between NSD and spring practice, we are desperate. Off topics live long and prosper during these periods.
For example, I bet that if you started a thread titled "OT: Best Way to Cook a Steak?" it would not be moved to page 2 (otherwise known as "The Black Hole") for at least 2 days.
And, without a doubt, someone would make a comment like,"First, you have to thoroughly beat your meat. Next, get the steaks out of the fridge and start your preparation."
And then that comment would require a scolding from a few of the stodgier members, plus a private warning from Kevin about proper decorum.
Basically, we are still winding down from NSD and trying to keep connected before they start bumping heads again.

My boss will send an email about something and will say, "Please see myself." I honestly don't mind bad grammar, but I'll make fun of it when my boss does it, because I really don't like my boss.

No question that must really inspire the troops.
I would be inclined to hand him a mirror so he could do just that.
