I think the blogosphere or whatever the young kids are calling it nowadays need to get together and start writing the ten commandments of blogging.
I don't care what the other 9 would be, but number one must be:
1. Thou shalt not write blogs if you cannot have grammar and spelling right.
Small mistakes are acceptable. Colloquialism is after all part of the charm of being a convoy of any language; your accent, your style, your flavour if you will. In that sense, GOOD manglish is acceptable, in fact here at lectureboys we use it everyday and we are proud of it.
But when a blatant piece of broken grammar or spelling stares at you in the face and pokes you in the eye with the hot burning rod of toe-cringing, enough is enough.
You know what the worst thing is? These people, instead of bothering to do a simple spell check for their previous monstrosity, write ANOTHER blog to JUSTIFY why they should have poor English and why you should leave them alone.
Things like:
"Oh these is my personel blog, my english is poor but I don't care because you don't have to read if you don't like bla bla bla"
"My english is not good but I dont care because whats more important is me as a person."
"Oh hello i am an ugly girl and i need to camwhore and go to sungai wang"
You don't have to master the language to be a blogger. That will be extremely boring. But if you are going to be dyslexic when telling us your daily adventures, then my advice would be 1. just post pictures 2. seek help
Why am I venting?
it's that time of the year I suppose.
