This forum is for special people..........You'd all probably know who they are. However take it as a request or anything else(its up to you) but stop pointing grammer mistakes of other people.....at least not on the internet. Every person has their own way of writing so don't pick a point if someone makes a grammer mistake. It's irritating and barbaric!

Correct grammar is not barbaric. It's just right.

Stop pointing out the grammar mistakes of other people.

You see...I only point out the mistakes when it is necessarily bothersome to even get through reading. I point it out when it hurts me to read it because it is so wrong. I can understand if it's not your native language, but I know most people here are probably American or can speak English well enough to choose to go on this site. I expect some level of decency in my speech and if you don't reach it, it gets annoying to even deal with you. This is a forum. We expect some thought out posts, and if your grammar level is below the even thought out level there's a problem with your post and it essentially is useless to us.
A post whose grammar is so terrible that it is impossible to decipher is spam, and spam needs to be deleted.
Think of this as preparing for the real world or even later schooling. I am a TA for a course at my university. I read lab reports submitted by students ever week for the last 10 weeks. You know what I did when I couldn't understand what they wrote? I gave them a 0 for that section.
And, English has it relatively easy. In Spanish, getting rid of accent marks turns "My father is 47 years old" into "My potato has 47 anuses".

With grammar: "Let's eat, grandpa."
Without grammar: "Let's eat grandpa."
Classic example of why grammar is important. Without it, people become cannibals.

In other news, I love the Oxford Comma. Some say it isn't necessary, but I learned it back in grade school and we were required to use it. Then again, without it look what we have...

This request is not in the case when people make extremely stupid mistakes and their sentences are the ones that can't be understood but pointing out simple comma's and tenses.......that's irritating

Furthermore, you all don't even know that the person who made the mistake is having English as a native language or not........In my opinion understanding is all that matters!

Sounds like you did say it was barbaric.
A decent grammar is necessary for a decent life in the future. Either you'll learn that or you'll fall to the wayside like the rest.

That I don't think is necessary...secondly i did say barbaric until i noticed that my perspective and your perspective is different!

You won't get anywhere if you can't communicate your ideas clearly. You can't communicate you ideas clearly unless you and everyone else agree upon a common way of communication. This common way of communication is called grammar.
Of course, if you really want to, you could always settle for knowing just one sentence in proper grammar for the rest of your life - "Would you like the sandwich or the meal?"

Pointing your grammar mistakes it's gonna make u speak a better english.(You're allowed to point the mistakes i did in this sentence) :)

I was going to say "Do you want fries with that?" but I rarely hear that. It's always "Do you want the sandwich or the meal" probably because they make over 1000% profit on the soda.
But I digress.
You see...
The problem is, the second you start a forum about this, you're going to have every single part of your argument torn to shreds by those that actually have learned why it's necessary. The arguments you could make won't be understand (since you can't express them well) and it's going to look like a bunch of well educated gentlemen (and ladies I guess) with their tophats and monocles (especially the ladies for both of these) trying to argue with 5 year olds that don't even know how to tie their own shoes.
I suggest you back down from the fight and admit that learning your grammar mistakes is a good way to improve your own life.

Well maybe its not necessary that everyone who does not focus on grammer on the internet has a bad English

Last thing.......I am saying this 'cause i think that the discussion is going far from the point I picked.......I said don't point out mistakes on THE INTERNET.......in real life i also point out mistakes of the people who are close to me BECAUSE i dont want anyone else to think they have a bad English or anything negative

I do agree on grammer being a way of communication but what is the use of such a way that people can't even use informal register in front of their friends or perhaps age fellows! I, myself prefer grammer in front of those whom I respect........but friends and age fellows.......you've got to be kidding
