After another , " I Only talk to people who can spell" message. I thought I would try to educate those who place so much importance on grammar, which is odd don't you think.
Spelling and grammar are not linked to intelligence or sophistication or even writing in any way. language develops as the world changes and I find those who over state their ability to use grammar, require it to support their own insecurity.
On this site Star Trek's "To Boldly Go" would have some nerd state that it should be "To Go Boldly". ( Something about splitting a infinitive !! I have no idea)
Grammar and spelling are learnt formulas, nothing more. Some people have the ability to remember formulas better then others. Although this is a form of intelligence, its a basic form and is not related to any other. Some of the thickest closed minded numpties I've ever met could really spell and use Grammar.
So if grammar is important to you Horrah, but it is not as important as feeling, honesty, openness and the understanding of others. I just wish that those who rate the reading of books would take some time to understand them and the term "Don't judge a book by its cover".
So please , when you write in your profile, good grammar and intelligence.. put the word OR in the middle, because as you have shown. They are not related.
