For the most part I believe it's due to the fact most people consider themselves above the grade, elitists if you will that will try to find other peoples mistakes to make them feel a little more important. Then again others do find it reasonable that if you're a learned person to always use that knowledge, not simply to turn it off and on as necessary.
You're using grammar anytime you write something. It's just not proper grammar.
I'm not sure why other people on the forum would call you a loser. Most of them can't even spell anyway.
But seeing as how when you're on a forum, the only thing people have to judge you on is based on what you are saying and how you say it. If you don't seem to come across as intelligent, they have no way of knowing otherwise. You could be an astrophysicist, but there is no way for them to be aware of that. So, they assume that you must be dumb based on your lack of grammar skills.Why do people think if you dont use grammar on a forum then your a loser?
Honestly, if you want to get your opinion out there and taken seriously its incumbent upon you to present it in a way that shows you have more than three active brain cells.
An argument set forth with proper grammar and at least an attempt at spelling will go over better than the same argument with internet short hand spread through it.
Were they being picky and petty? Probably, but that doesn't mean there isn't some substance to their point.
Honesty compels me to say that while IM'ing with my friends I rarely capitalize my "I"s and I use some internet shorthand, but when talking with people I don't know or for work or whatever, even on a messenger program, I try to use correct English.
Being fluent in your native language is important all the time, not just when you are in school. If you show that you can't even speak or write in your native tongue correctly, it makes you look unintelligent, regardless of the forum. I can never understand why people want to voluntarily make themselves sound ignorant.Why do people think if you dont use grammar on a forum then your a loser?
I use all those years of grammar and spelling in everything I do. I wouldn't want to think a minute of my wonderful education was wasted.
The whole idea of forums is to be heard and get your point across. If you aren't using proper grammar, people will not always understand what you're trying to say.
Probably because not everybody understands pop culture lingo but everybody understands proper English.
because people are morons and just like to talk crap about other people. People are rude and ignorant
