Just for clarification, coherently or grammatically correct?

NO YOU
I think he made my point.
Just for clarification, coherently or grammatically correct?

Have you been reading the thread you've been posting in?  First post.

Well, you recently said "coherently" and I originally thought we were talking about correct grammar.

What point.  You never had a point.

You have to have proper grammatical structure in a sentence to type coherently.  It's all related in the big picture.

Actually, coherently related more to legibility than to grammatical errors. Something could have no punctuation whatsoever and still be coherent, so long as you understand the message they are trying to convey.

On the other hand, grammar is different. The previously mentioned example may be coherent, but it would be grammatically incorrect.

It's not coherent if someone who's smart enough to read can't read it.

I know black people who can't read Azimuth's post quality, but could most likely read mine (With a dictionary).

well lets take this post for example you can read it but it doesnt contain correct punctuation however it is still coherent

Just because you can read it doesn't mean it has correct grammar.




Ts post ct cuz cohernt lole  :cookieMonster: :panda: :iceCream: :nes: /spam

The above post is neither coherent nor is it grammatically correct.

Coherent in Hell (It is a forum) maybe (I'm being a hypocrite here - I visit Hell forums frequently).  Here, I wouldn't bother to read the post, and skip to the next one.  I'm used to LITERATE cigarettes flaming LITERATE cigarettes, not ILLITERATE DIPstuffS (Read:Azimuth) flaming anyone.  Am I using hip enough lingo yet?

Writing formal doesn't have anything to do with it. If you have bad grammar in a argument, guess what? Your argument is weak, people will think you have terrible logic, and finally you may have a terrible reputation for being stupid. Unless you have an excuse such as being in an another country. But this isn't the case here.
writing formally was not my argument here, i was just saying that i for one dont really check my grammar as deeply unless its for formal purposes, and that really caring as deeply as you two do is pointless and annoying.

my philosophy is this:
if you can understand what theyre saying within 1 second of beginning to read it, its acceptable.
for example, if someone says "oh man that guys spelling was horrid" i would treat it the same way as "Oh man, that guy's spelling was horrid." why? because my mind can make conclusions based on context. so in a sense what youre actually doing is trying to take away a good form of practicing educated guesses.
but hey its whatever you want, and im sorry for coming across so well, cross before. i was just not in a good mood.
and also i know that i act like a total handicap on the internet (which as i hopefully conveyed earlier, i dont care about its view on me)
the reason is because i like to be educated in real life more, but being a teenager, i have to release the obscenity and handicapation somehow, so thus, here we are.

oh as an extra little note: i still think zmobie is downsizing people a little too much. if you were as smart as you are trying to convey to us through your 'literacy', then youd be perfectly accepting of everyone else's view on the subject. but then again, if you were as accepting as that, you wouldnt have started this thread in the first place.

If you honestly can't read that I would say you are a very bad reader.

Sorry, I couldn't read your post.  What did it entail?

not ILLITERATE DIPstuffS (Read:Azimuth) flaming anyone.  Am I using hip enough lingo yet?

YO BITCH YOU AINT BE CALLIN ME A LLITERATE DIPstuffE BIATCH I BE USIN DA HIPPO LINGO NAO

caring as deeply as you two do is pointless and annoying.

I don't care that much I just hate hypocrites who speak out against people who make the same mistakes they do. (in other words, I'm a hypocrite hating hypocrite.)
