Grammatically Correct

by stormybaka

We could speculate the message is most important and if that is expressed, we don't need to worry about being grammatically correct. But what are we then saying? Are we chosing to neglect the importance of communication. It's already hard enough to understand each other, without adding more barriers to the equation. So many viewpoints, opinions as well as personality and background make communication a confusing and sometimes perplexing event. There seems to be no middle ground in the grammar debacle, either verdone and pretentious in sound and others illiterate and ignorant in nature. We insult the educated and acknowledge the ignorant. When we call someone with grammar and education a "show off" or those without and idiot, we are not just insulting or hurting someone, we are destroying communication. I am aware this may sound conceited and am not in anyway saying those without proper grammar are ignorant or idiots. But their message may be contain validilty or importance and be misconstrued or overlooked; because of grammatical errors. Such as simple mistakes like [, and]. There is no need for both, if the subject is still the same, a comma will suffice if not a full stop. From there you start the new subject and simply continue till the end of sentence. Double or single spacing has become irrelevant and knowing a simple rule such as names, countries and after a full stop is a capital can make a difference to your message.

Parts of a sentence.

Noun: thing or person. [name, object.] computer

Adjective: describes a noun. [cool, big.] stormybaka is cool.

Verb: action or event. [work, sing.] lostcause sings

Adverb: describes a verb. [quick, great.]lostcause sings great.

Pronoun: replaces a noun. [I, my, me.] Zok is smart, I think cute too.

Preposition: express relation to another word. [at, in, for.] What did you come for?

Conjunction: joins sentences or words. [and, but, so.] Was thirsty and drank vanilla coke

Interjection: short exclamation. [Oh, Um, Ah.] Ah, now I understand.

These are just the basics in the construct of a sentence and the meanings and use are not known by alot of people. It's not easy to describe a noun. In simple terms, nouns are "things" and verbs are "actions". I think having a dictionary and thesaurus would be a good thing for everyone.
