Why people make fun Bad Grammar/English?
Unless English is your second language, there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for poor grammar or spelling. If you were born and raised in the U.S., and you went to school in the U.S. growing up, then you shouldn't have a problem with basic English grammar. Anything else is just laziness on your part.
English Grammar: Prepositions before the word 'here'?
Your teacher are always shitting you. :DHave your teacher ever said that when you see the adverb "always", you should take the present simple tense? Once I wrote the McDonald's adverting "I'm loving it." in my final exam essay, my teacher gave me a red X mark.I'm not sure how your teacher teaches you every day, but my teacher once told me something as what you are confused about, and something like "always" change a sentence to present simple tense.No shit!Here/there: (1) Harriet look at this map, we are here now(we are at a point), it's a pretty old town and we're going there another old town. (2) I'm here in front of you, now you can open your eyes. Big surprise! (3) Sweet heart shall we stop crying? Mom's here, besides you.In here/in there: (1) Time over David! I hid in here, it's an old wooden box! (2) Hello, 911! I need some help!... I am trapped in here, an abandoned well, it's located at the south... (3) The poor bird is singing in there, for freedom - the old guy never open the door of its cage.Go home! Go back home! I'm not at home, could you please leave a message? Thank you! A nest of mice treat the hole as home.
Why is the grammar so terrible on Yahoo Answers?
Because nobody cares. A lot of people aren't serious, for one thing. And the terrible shortened spelling and grammar of text messaging is getting carried over to the net. I guess some people don't understand that it makes a terrible impression when every word is spelled incorrectly and what's written barely makes sense. One minor mistake isn't what I mean-it's the questions and answers that are barely in English. Soon there will be a new dialet of English--Weblish. I don't understand why people can't take pride in their written correspondence. I even spell check my emails, and people laugh at me for it. Also I have a feeling there's a lot of young kids on here whose grammar isn't good to begin with.
Why can't people write in proper english anymore?
Dear Tmarrie99, I believe H.ELL is in fact spelt without the period. Yes we all mistakes, and while my writing isn't perfect I try my best. The idea of this post is to highlight that many people no longer try at all, and that this problem is becoming prevalent in young children, which is an entirely different issue to criticising minor imperfections. This is a genuine question and I'd appreciate you not being a ***** about a very real issue. P.s Your personal need to criticise me on both pages is anally retentive. = )
As a native English speaker, do you hate it when you hear foreigners speak bad English?
I can't say I'm a 'native' English speaker, but I've been speaking the language since I was born. I went to an English speaking school, I speak to my friends in English, and I've lived in and out of the UK, living in it as of now. I've pretty much fluent in in English, and while not my 'mother tongue', it is my first language, or language of choice. I've met people in the UK, and abroad who try to speak English. I don't hate them, and I don't regard them as 'idiots'. I applaud them for trying, and I remember that they know another language fluently too (while I was born speaking sinhala, I've lost track of it pretty much and have a hard time reading or writing it). Most native English speakers aren't great at other languages. They speak one of the (or generally the) most recognized and spoken language on earth and don't feel the need to learn more languages- something which modern government are working on fixing.The person who I remembered and thought about to write this answer is my maths teacher. She's from Romania I think, and while she's not the greatest speaker of English, we respect her because she's 'nearly' fluent , and she conveys what she should do, and only stumbles on small things like the placement of 'he/she', as I deduce, in Romanian, the general term of address is 'he'. If we think of her as stupid, we know we are the stupid ones, she's lived more years than we ever had, is as skilled in maths as is possible to be a teacher, so we look past her discrepancy in English and learn what she's actually trying to teach us, not worry about some stupid not-politically-correct error she made while talking to us. In general, western society is very respectful of people who try and make an effort to fit in and learn! As for those who don't respect or tolerate your lack of ability to speak English fluently - they aren't worth your time.
My English is very poor. What can I do?
Dear Friend, This answer is going to be a bit analytical and uplifting. So, let's start with something very surprising.“ Everybody knows English. A lot of English... No Matter what!”So, what's different is of course… our size of vocabulary, capacity to hold conversations, ability to use it for a variety of applicable areas… and so on.Still Surprised? Don't be, yet!NOWLet's examine a normal day in our life and how penetrated English is in all of it:Get… Set… Go!AlarmPhoneTimeSnooze(Tooth)BrushToothpasteShampooTrimmer(Hair) BrushHair DryerMake-upTiffinBusCabDriverTicket“Change”StopSignalTrafficElevator/LiftFloorSchoolOfficeClassDesk/CabinTeacherBossMeetingNotesSyllabusWorkflowTaskAssignmentScheduleTimetableClientLoginLogoutAttendanceParkingLateComputerPenPaper“Leave”LunchCanteenCoffeePlate…. Enough is enough!English follows you…even haunts… no matter where you go!So, What's your point, Ahmed?Well, it's very simple and this:You… I… All of us… already know A Lot of English. An awful lot, I might add.Ok, ok… Agreed! What's next?Next is even simpler.Try to focus on two important things:Integrate more and more English into your life and lifestyleSlowly but steadily, shift the focus from our native language to English. Because, as a matter of fact, 60–70% of our daily thinking AND conversation is pure English!Now. . .A Digital Solution to DigiFans:YouTube is now full of short-films, Web series, and even many Episode ‘thing’.No matter what the parent language of such videos, every 3rd sentence, on average ,is in natural English.And, by the way, who wouldn't want to like our Mithila Palkar from Girl in the City?Anyway, a few such Youtube Names:Shitty Ideas Trending (SIT)Girl in The CityMensutra, the “Bang On” Channel!Sandeep Maheshwari.. sessions… and many more. . .subject to search!My Point:English is already integrated into our system of life and society in a great way. All we have to do now is … conciously and deliberately look for areas to expand it so that we become more and more comfortable with all of it.That way, the Weak-English become Strong-English…and Stronger become the Excellent-English… as simple as that!I earnestly request my readers to try this Methodology for a while and the result will definitely take care of itself.-Ahmed, The Curious Being.
