+130 No, we don't criticize the way you speak to be mean or because we enjoy it, we do it because we care about and respect the English language, amirite?

Or you could respect such people for trying.

I'm referring to people who insist on speaking as if they're texting, and people that think it's cool to use incorrect grammar and spelling purposely, not those who are just learning. The sad thing is, that people who have learned English as their second language (or whatever number), tend to speak more properly than those who learned English as their first language.

Oh alright, thanks for explaining. I'll take it back, then :)

It's so annoying when people insist on spelling something incorrectly (when they know how to spell it) because they don't want to look like a 'nerd'. Since when has using correct grammar been deemed 'uncool'? : The world would be such a better place if people took pride in using correct grammar xD

I also correct people because i care about the image you present. if you are a smart person that speaks as if you are texting you do yourself an injustice.
