Lacking Grammatical Skills... - Comments

watergirl v. It does. Do you think anyone can understand a story riddled in grammatical errors? That is one thing every writer should care about if they want their story to be successful.

really?... i never knew that....

watergirl v. you should care. you should care very much. if the grammar takes away from your story then it ruins everything.

i have bad grammar do i care? hell no... XD i just have to work on fixing it up.... -sgh- to a beta i go XD

DarkHeartedAngel v. bad grammar as in fragment sentences that pop up on Word? or is it something else?

I, for some reason, have horrible grammar. I try my best I really do, but it's been a problem from the very start for me.

Batmannn v. is it the lowercase writing? sorry. :(

Technically, this journal isn't grammatically correct.

Fortune's.Fate. v. i can't stand chat speak! and user's excuses- RAGH! it drives me up a wall! i've had one say, "I need to get used to spellcheck." -.-
i shall assist you in the facepalm. *facepalm* even if it won't be published, that's no excuse to not at least try to attempt writing at the best of one's ability.

Mumm-ra v. isn't it strange when you see people who are older than you and they can't spell things right? i'm baffled every single time! it does seem like when they keep using excuses they are just not taking certain measures to correct their writing.

I hate it when people don't follow simple rules on this site, like following grammar and not using chatspeak. I don't know how some of the "authors" who do that can even consider themselves authors because it looks like some of them could be writing in pig latin it's so bad.
I can't stand the excuse of "Well, it's not like this is going to be published anyway" and even worse, a user who was the same age as me claimed that they couldn't be expected to write well because they were so young. *facepalm*

Sanaki: Most of the people that claim to have dyslexia are usually old enough have treatment for it and are old enough to spell properly (15-18 year olds on here) and people repeatedly keep saying they're dyslexic but it's mostly pure laziness that keesp them from fixing the errors and such.

Well, I'm not the best with grammar, but I do my best.

Spell check and grammar check only go so far though.
Sometimes, Word will tell you something is grammatically wrong, and you know for a fact that it isn't...it's a tool, not something that should be completely relied on.

Lord Voldemort v. i just looked at one of your stories. i don't think there were any errors that would affect the constitution of your writing.

Airi-chan v. that does seem to be the verdict of this journal! i feel bad for some of them. some say they want to be professional writers, but if they can't even take the time to look over such things -no publishing company will take them seriously.

Lena; Beauty v. that sounds about right.

Mumm-ra V. dyslexia is a reason... i guess. but still...

These people are normally just too lazy to do anything about it and simply don't care.

I normally think they just don't care about the story. If they don't care then they shouldn't write.

v. Well some of them that lack the grammatical and spelling skills also get touchy with those who try to help or remind them to use proper grammer and such. And some also complain about having dyslexia too.

i mean, don't most people have spell and grammar check at their disposal?
There is a spell check button on the very top left corner of the Mibba page. Everyone has a spell check at their use. I will admit that I do not have grammar check though. My stories probably have a lot of errors.

Mumm-ra v. really? i would think if they wanted good reviews they would at least put an effort into editting and making their stories understandable.
