Bad Grammar on a forum

[Heatman]

Of course there are some platforms I have visited before that were full of gramatical errors, but I don't allow it discourage me because I know that anyone can make this kind of mistake including me. So, I just try to correct it in my mind and read on so that I can understand what is written.

Some people who are not good in English language are most likely to make mistakes with their grammar on writing on some websites and it is not something that you will kill them for but try as much as you can to correct them to increase on their grammar.

Hmm, i know grammatical errors happens unexpectedly. We are not perfect, at times we may face it. But we should always watch closer to avoid making errors being use to us.

If it becomes use to the forum, it will scare others away, who may like joining cos the forum is marred with grammatical errors.

Exactly, grammatical errors would most definitely scare people away. Making a few mistakes might be overlooked. But when it's too much, it is something else

it is actually why it's very important to have a kind of test before you are employed to work on a website in order to make sure that you pass at least the English test to avoid making such mistakes and the website.

Yes of cos, that's why forum owners stick with good English and free from grammatical errors to keep their community clean to attract sponsors/advertisers to earn more and keep running the forum.

Absolutely true. This would help screen out people with bad grammar and so reduce grammatical errors in the site. Website managers should adopt this

No one is perfect and no one is also free from mistake. Bad spellings or grammer could be as a result of typographical errors and it hasn't keep me off from a forum.

I come form tier 3 country where Eglish is not my first language, therefore I am prone to make grammar mistakes. I thin this happens to all of those who come from non-English countries.

Sometimes I think that this can be a way in order to see that the people that are on there are not posting very high quality posts, however I think that this can be expected as well, because not everyone that will be on here will be speaking english as their first language.

I join forums for content. if the content has bad grammar and bad language, I am not interested in joining the forum. I think the forums need to make it mandatory for users to join only when they have basic knowledge of language and grammar. Content quality matters when I join a forum

Lol.... Well we can't do without BAD grammar some bad grammar occur due to typographical error while some are due to the fact that the person is not capable of speaking good one.

You can do better at improving how you write. It is something that is very important as long as you are willing to get better as a writer. Yeah, there are times that one can make mistakes with grammar when creating one or two contents, but it should not be an everyday occurance.

true, besides that the more you write and read in English, the more you learn and the fewer grammatical errors you have, a forum with good grammar and understandability is super important, because people come here looking for good content, and poorly written content is definitely not attractive.

I think there is Grammarly extension for Xenforo forums means admin owner has install plugin Grammarly so if someone doesn't hear about it then we don't have to force anyone install Grammarly as plugin exists:

Not at all. I don't mind when a user has bad grammar, I don't think there's much you can really do about that though. Most forums you go to you will see many people with poor grammar. Some here are like that, hell even with myself, my grammar isn't 100% perfect, I don't think anyone here is perfect when it comes to their own grammar.

There's also no rules users have to follow when it comes to ones own grammar on sites. It really should be let go, and hopefully the user learns to write better as he/she goes. I think most people with bad grammar would be called out for not being able to understand them, so they might leave the forum eventually.

There was a user at this site I used to mod for (their forums) and one user had the worst grammar I have ever saw in my life. He would post paragraphs are barely legible things, complaining about other users. Other users made a fuss about the way he talked. But, he would start to get frustrated when people didn't understand him, so he started to call people names and get overly offensive, to the point we had to ban him. He cried about that wanting back on the site, but we wouldn't let him.

Does a forum with bad grammar or spellings put you off from signing up there?

If the bad grammar or spellings are filled everywhere in the forum's sections, it's going to tad difficult for me to use the forum. I will find it challenging to read the whole bad grammar or spellings all the time I want to contribute in any discussion.
