This subject has been done to death before, but the answer will stay the same.
If it’s understandable, then what’s the problem??
Speaking very generally, people have various abilities and various dis-abilities, so it’s really unfair of you to judge some of the people by your own standards when there is an almost endless list of valid reasons for why any person’s English is as it is.
BTW, some of the faults that you’ve pointed out are to do with typing and formatting skills, so what those people wrote wouldn’t necessarily have appeared as it does on here if they’d used a pen and written the same thing on paper.
You mentioned your own English, but your English is understandable, so I’m not commenting on that.
I would generally suggest that anybody who lives in a glass house might like to think carefully before they start throwing stones.
worst bit Dieseldave is every time you step out the shower you forget you live in a glass house! Lol
Well said Toby!
We as a nation are very lazy and to a certain degree, very thick when it comes to our own language which is an absolute disgrace. How can we expect anyone to learn our language when they come here if we can’t learn it ourselves?
And Dave, that’s the problem, a lot of it is NOT understandable in this day and age, written or otherwise, so I think that you should respect Toby’s opinion, not slate him for it. I absolutely agree with Toby, some of it is barely understandable and a lot of it is down to the fact we now use text speak instead of proper words and phrases, and that should be a major concern for the future.
Maybe I’m old school, but I was taught proper English, write and speak to people in a polite manner, and expect the same in return and if that’s a problem then God help our language.
Sir Trevor Macdonald is a leading figure in the campaign for plain English, and I for one applaud his efforts to keep our language in the way it should be…innit.

My pet hate is someone using too many commas.
As long as its readable i don’t see a problem. Are you going to ban people who make spelling mistakes? Do you want a mod to spend all day inserting full stops and question marks?
All forums are the same regardless of occupation except maybe the ‘‘english teacher’’ forum if that even exists
