http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://live.pirillo.com - PUGS is my acronym for the words punctuation, usage, grammar and spelling. Just because I have a degree in English Education doesn't mean everyone else does. If you have any trouble with any of these things, there is a website that can help you. http://chris.pirillo.com

  • I do not mind misspelled words, but when somebody makes a sentence like, "omg ur a tard lol r u retrded or sumtin," I lose a little hope in humanity.

  • Please take into account that a large percentage of the online community does not have English as their mother tongue. Therefor these people cannot be blamed for spelling errors. Remember, a lot of people speak english, but few americans/english speak a foreign language.

    On the other hand, native speakers should pay attention to spelling and grammar. Poor spellers and writers seldom are taken seriously.

  • Grammar is important! Capital letters are the difference betwen helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

    If you are a Spanish-Speaking Brazilian and you go to an English-Speaking Forum Site, you CAN be blamed if you try asking questions in broken English translated from Google. Believe me, this has happened before. Jesus Christ.

  • I'm 404'ing on this analism, please dumb people don't go on these "using your brain" "youtube" posts.

  • I agree, it's important not just for everyone who is a native speaker of English, but for people who speak English as a second language, it can be difficult for them to understand sentences like (especially important in business):
