You shouldn’t be trying to correct anyone’s grammar, honey.I have an issue with people making grammatical mistakes. I once (wow, that was rude of me) stopped a girls presentation to correct her she asked if someone had questions I raised my hand and said,”Did you notice your grammatical error?” And she answered no and we started arguing cause she said I was wrong.
The AUDACITY
The research arm of dating site OKCupid looked at 500,000 first contacts and concluded that ‘netspeak, bad grammar and bad spelling are huge turn-offs’. The biggest passion killers were ‘ur’, ‘r’, ‘u’, ‘ya’ and ‘cant’. Also damaging to online suitors were ‘luv’ and ‘wat’.
On the other hand, correct use of apostrophes was appealing. Using ‘don’t’ and ‘won’t’ caused better than average response rates - 36% and 37% respectively, according to the research.
Run-on sentences are also freaking annoying and also it is a good idea to use quotation marks or italics to write about words as words it is a freaking problem for lots of people.
