This is what the original Beowulf looked like.

Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

How do you do dude?

Anglo saxon English was spoken only in the south, round here, we are solidly Brittonic speakers 😉

Spell words correctly.
Adverbs are grammar as well.

Thank you for scratching that itch I was feeling! One should always make a point of checking his or her own use of language before criticizing or correcting that of others.

@Bobby9 Yes, and "parts of speech" fall under the rubric of grammar.

@Bobby9 "Stretch", my man.

@Bobby9 However, you certainly do, am I right? (wink)

Well . I am not able to write in perfect English or talk perfect English , and the only ways I can spell is because of my iPhone on these days . I do type a lot at work , but not the everyday useful English and also we cut short and use codes for everything , other ways will be there for a 100 yrs and still wrap only the case of One patient .

I try my best when on this site , and nobody ever insulted me or been upset with me , and I am more than thankful .
We all bring something into the table here sir , and that makes the days more interesting or more enjoyable ? I understand your frustration when the English are horrible thou . U and Siri on my phone can be best friends ! She does not understand my accent either ??
We all try sir , we all try .

Well, being English my second language because I'm Portuguese, I think you shouldn't be so strict about that. As I've always been good at languages, I know many that aren't. As I've been living in Ireland for 14 years, English comes very natural to me, it's my day to day language. So someone from Spain or Germany, for example, who might not be so good at English, don't they deserve a bit of understanding about their limitations on the language?

This is a world wide site and welcomes all that can contribute .There is technology that translates but the ability to use it can be tricky.Anyone that can speak two or more languages no matter how poor is far better than me.

True, but that technology doesn't work 100% and the same will happen. I use some of that technology at work and, believe me, sometimes it's a pain.

I always try to write and spell English correctly. It wasn't until I lived in USA, that I fully understood how different English and American English are. It isn't just words like 'fag' and 'rubber' (oh Jayne!). Spellings are the easiest bits. However, words like 'momentarily' have slightly different meanings in the UK and USA. Consequently, it really doesn't work to complain to another nation about the use of what is essentially another country's language.

That's why I can't chat up the yanks.

@Xanadutoo Stick with us Brits lovey

@Amisja Its just this bloody weather .lol

With my third grade education,?...I really do try, ...really...but do often when asking google how to spell a word, then I lose my original three paragraphs and it just so pisses me off ....so fuck it...take me as I am or no...."blocking" will end your fustrations with my bad english and lack of education.

I'm not a native speaker, I have a Masters Degree in English literature, though as well as in Economics. I understand from what you have said that you always spells words right and get the grammar correct. Would you please clarify for me what the following grammatical terms mean?
1.Adjunct
2.Subjunct
3.Conjunct
4.Disjunct
5.Marginal preposition

I am guessing that this post is a joke because of how poorly written it is.

This article might be of use to you.

Is this a joke? I hope so... So many errors in this post...

EXACTLY!

Perhaps this was meant as a joke?

An ellipsis is 3 dots.
Sentences start with a capital letter.
And there is more...

Too funny!

I believe that should have been a period after 'correct'.

Eye spel reel gudly.

Eye dnt c wutz rong w tipin leik thus. Cept tat taxes 4evr 2 dew... goddamm.. that was really hard to do... As I am an English speaking person, I do prefer to type correctly. I've learned to write my words with conviction. However, I do make mistakes here and there, I don't believe anybody should be shunned for not typing correctly. If I can understand what you mean with terrible grammar, spelling, and (deities; existing or not, help me) emojis: you're okay. You don't have to have "perfect spelling and grammar" to have a conversation online.

I am sorry... Is this calling the kettle black?

Congratulations on bring this to the fore.You have caused quite a bit of discussion on the subject of the use of English.I think anyone reading any of the comments will have more tolerance for people with language impairments.
Hope we only get bitten once for your point scoring methods. lol

My family has been in the area now the US for over 300 years. my grandfather did not speak English until middle age, my father's first language was French, there are literally millions of US citizens whose first language is not English. Before you start criticizing their English learn to write/speak it yourself.
