Grammar Matters
by Jason Alan
When arguing with someone on the internet, you can quickly get a sense of their intelligence level, general knowledge and relevance by analyzing how they use the language.
i hope i will not come to your mind when you are posting about this matter … actually i face many troubles when i try to express my feelings and thoughts by another language … an arabic proverb says : who has the hit on his head he put his hands on it … so i felt you are talking about me so this was my way to put my hand on my defect 🙂
my english major, college educated wife and I agree. correct grammar, as well as tactful and respectful dialogue, is in such short supply these days. why do you suppose this to be the case?

It mainly refers to those who only know one language, but still use it poorly.
i understand this point .. but remains that i express myself poorly in english and italian ..need more study to do ..
You do pretty well. I didn’t even know that English wasn’t your first language.
it’s arabic, my tongue language 😉

I don’t know if it’s on the rise. Maybe we just see more of it due to more people being on the internet.
