I will confess, I’m not that great at grammar. Mainly, I’m the sort of person that write/type stuff as I am thinking it and barely look back at what I have wrote. I see it as that it’s online and it’s as informal as it gets. As long as it is readable, it shouldn’t matter if it not 100% perfect.

With that said: majority of the time, I swear that they can just make out roughly what I am trying to saying. I will understand it more if my grammar for a message was so bad that they can’t make out what I’m trying to say. Otherwise, I just felt kinda bullied and mocked for having bad grammar skills.

As ridiculous as it sounds, it makes me so self-conscious and paranoid to post anything and it can even be as simple as making a reply on a post. Internet is a brutal place but so is real-life. The only difference is that I would just block them which I know is little petty but I think that it would be better than me snapping at strangers online. My patience is thin and I just get sick of having people in my life just getting angry at me as well as I feel like a punchline to a joke.

    My grammar and spelling is atrotious and to make it worse I do it purposefully sometimes for humor purposes. All the same it does not bother me when people correct it unless they like call me names or along with it. Most people just correct it and I see that as their right because. After all. They are right (or usually). There is no shame in someone wanting stuff done correctly and I can totally understand some being frutstrated by poor writing. That being said there is no shame in being loose and casual with writing. Especially in a very infromal setting like online forums. So I guess im saying if I was upset at all it would be to tell them to chill but if I expect them to chill about me then I should be chill about them.
