    I assume they talked to you about your poor grammar and spelling ? What was the outcome ?

    Edit: the people downvoting this are promoting, or at least accepting poor education, and trump is the result of a poorly educated society. Think about that next time you say that spelling and grammar don’t matter.

    Damn there are a lot of ignorance loving fascists here. It’s great being able to so easily identify and block every single one of you.

      as a huge fan of linguistics, spelling and grammar, I will say this very confidently: in this case, spelling and grammar don’t matter even one bit. but if this kind of thing matters so much to you, you should also care about typography and not leave a space before a question mark.

        English may not be their first language (since the question mark thing is common in French, for example), though of course if that were true, their comment looks even worse.

      It is completely normal human behavior to use different dialects of a language with different levels of formality depending on the context. That’s what makes language beautiful and expressive!
