its not like the rules have no purpose if you didnt have any punctuation you wouldnt know where one idea ran into the next people would interpret things differently which would cause more misunderstandings if you think thats ok then just try to read this paragraph or sentence theres no difference in this context.

Useless.

With a name like Ellen Brook, you would think that they would know how to speak (or write in) English.

Yes we are picky, insisting on the occasional period or comma, and noun-verb pairings and stuff. Really, we're snobs.

Funny how you're standing up for this gibberish.

You can see poor English but you refuse to use an apostrophe, is that it? It is precisely because IT'S a forum that at least basic grammar rules should be observed. With incorrect use, sentences can become meaningless and their message unclear, not to mention it implies laziness in thinking. Nobody wants to sit here and decipher somebody's mangled message.

Google Translate is doing a more than adequate job of that, thank you very much.

Consider this question, asked by one zoo-keeper to another:

Without comma: Did the lion eat Fred?

With comma: Did the lion eat, Fred?

There is a crucial difference between the two sentences (especially to Fred).

Never underestimate the power of a comma!

i finally figured out why it bugged me you made jokes about OP,i ve been to many foreign countries and spoke to many english native speakers and nonnative speakers and i have never experienced that if i say (or write) something wrong ppl start to laugh at me and try to correct my language (simply because if they try to speak my language it makes bunnies cry)...so its my bad and i apologize

i underestimated the power of internet annonymity

 

[nia O'Malley]

sagan, consider people only laughed at the language because the post's content was so incredibly stupid to start with.


It's not like this thread would suddenly be good if it was an Elizabethan sonnet.

You've repeatedly missed that bit.

i havent seen this kind of behaviour in other stupid threads on this forum,i understand it as its easier to laugh than to prove the OP wrong

I am corrected everyday in my use of Spanish. But I usually get a good laugh from it. no need to apologize. English is very difficult to learn as a second language. many native speakers are not very good at it

At minimum, as stated earlier, if one can spell then they also are familiar with commas, periods and capitalizing the first letter in a sentence. I initially thought the post was a joke and replied as such. Still, life is a lifelong education and I'm sure the OP, myself and others here learn a thing or 2 in the time we spend here.

 

[Cobblestones]

So saganftw, instead of slagging off other posters, why don't you put the work in and translate the OP to something sensible which we then can all discuss?

 

[ellenbrook2001]

Huhuuhuh you wrong slek attacked only in the finishe then can you see today what happen shleck got an incident then contador attack what a winger,amstrong was rigth contador very selfish,ignorant,that why was a conflict last year i nrespect any riders but contador hes realy selfish i dont have any respect for him anymore he could take the yellown jersey in a better fashion has a gentlemen maybe hes spanish attitude
