Is there a subject called use of the English language?

Thank you so much for responding, didn't mean to sound mean, lol, play on words and did I spell it right, or write or rite? I love play on words and really am not having a go, just found it interesting!

For me, the spelling isn't as bad of a problem because I realize there are many people who just can't spell, and others who have trouble typing. I can overlook a few typos and misspelled words. What I have the most difficulty with is the kind of posts that just make no sense. There are a bunch of English words there, but it is like someone just took a bunch of words and threw them at the computer and let them fall anyway they would. And others that don't even have words that even look like words. What is it all about? Is it a new street language or something? Is it something only the young people understand? Then there are those who get all their modifiers misplaced, and you can't tell who or what is being referred to or who did what to whom, etc. When I find one of those posts, I just skip over it. I have even rated some of the worst ones with the minus sign. I mean if you can't even read one sentence and make any kind of sense out of it, how can you rate it with a plus?

I can assure you that if you look closely, everybody spells it alot. You see, I remember being told off severely, when checking marketing docs, (proof reading) many years ago, and I missed it, I have been aware ever since. I am very grateful that I am able to say anything about it today, here, and people respond and listen.
Thanks Wizzywig, and I think YOUR name is very appropriate in this case.
Good!!!

Love your comment, I love texting too, have a friend who cant type fast so I invited her to do text language to me on yahoo messenger, boy does that get her out of my hair quicker, and has negated the need for me to talk for hours to her on the phone. Yeh, there is something to be said for mis-spelling. Oops, did I spell that right?
Thanks so much for your input. Oh boy this is fun!

Sorry SomeCowgirl, I may appear to be FROM Spain, but I am, in fact, from the UK, born in Germany to an English farther in the army, and my mother tongue is ENGLISH. I only moved to this country when I was widowed, to try to experience something of a different way of life.
Hey, you wouldn't know that. You also wouldn't know that I also speak Spanish (after 8 years living here) and what you translated is south american spanish.
But I really appreciate your input, please follow me, I am going to be very controversial - I Promise!

Oh I know that it was not of Spain, but of South America. My old friend taught me that, or rather, it is always on her voicemail. I appreciate your response, and no yelling, I really didn't mean to be insulting to you in anyway.

There is nothing wrong with using the words of the region you are from, like "reckon", etc. It is a perfectly good word. I wish I could copy and paste some of the jibberish I find on here. I agree with the original post. This is NOT about those trying to learn the language. There is something else going on here and I would love to know what it is. But it is permeating all areas of the internet and mylot is full of it. I have other responses here so put them all together and maybe you will know what I am talking about. I think the original post was about this problem as well as other grammatical and spelling errors.

Thanks SamQuinn, short, sharp and to the point. This is not a mobile phone, its a computer, with the full complement of letters, easy to find, so bloody use them. lol

Thanks for responding joliefille, I am pleased you find English enjoyable, and dont blame you for passing over discussions that have so many errors they give you a headache. And I see you are from Malaysia, your English is lovely. Thank you.

Hi karry0004, it may be a free country in the US, but not all mylotters are USians, and not all are free (hey but that's another subject for another day)! And I'm really not bothered about slang, I've got some too from my original place of upbringing, the UK. It's really about blatent abuse of the language itself. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate your effort.

You are right of course, the whole purpose of a discussion is to put across ones thoughts, and what a fantastic medium mylot is for that. I'm really not trying to judge others here, just wanted to know how others felt about the consistent abuse of a mother tongue. Thank you for your response, it is very much appreciated.

Hi capirani, first I want to apologise for taking so long to respond to your comment. I wanted to leave it till last, because it is so eloquently put and makes such a strong statement, it clearly deserves a thoughtful response.
I too was offline for a few years and was shocked at the use and abuse of English, although I am amazed by the number of websites that facilitate communication these days.
I do a lot of ptc and cannot take most adverts seriously when I observe the errors on their splash pages, or within the content of their marketing blurb, if they cant get that right, how on earth do they expect me to buy their product with confidence?
There is too much c..p on line today, lets start a campaign, "Ban the c..p man!"
Anyway, I could go on all day, but I'll stop now. I'm sure this discussion will continue elsewhere, in which case we can bang on a bit more.
Thanks for your thoughtful and grammatically correct response. Lol.

LOL. You don't know how much more I work to try to perfect my grammar when posting about grammar. Thanks for your response. I was just glad to find someone else who thinks like I do here. I wish sometimes I could copy and paste some of the examples on here to accentuate what the problem is.

Hi subha12, if your read carefully what was asked, I did not take umbridge with people who's language is not English, in fact I expressly said that this was not aimed at non English speaking people. I think you are very brave and I have a lot of time for people who make the effort to communicate, even when it must be difficult. No, my gripe is with those educated in the English language who chose not to make the best of the language they know well. I am sorry if I appeared to offend in any way.
