sorry, I don't really have much to add to all this talk about proof reading,
typos and bad grammer other than the fact that the ideologies of language,
grammer proper and spelling proper developed during the eras of imperialism
and colonialism, and when catholic linguistics were trying to set straight
native/foreign speakers, so they could convince them their ideologies and
dogma were the only ideologies/dogmas. I wonder how many native speakers
died because they couldn't form a proper sentence?
its great that we can all have a consistant set of rules which makes ideas
and knowledge easier to communicate, but is it really difficult to resist
these ideologies and maintain your creativity to understand whats being
communicated. I think it is very important that people make errors[go beyond
the regulating rules of syntax, phonology, morphology,spelling...)
especially in their language. errors create new forms for use, and
understanding and i would say that it was probably an accident that we use
these images to create discursive language. as it should be noted that what
comes out of our mouth, doesn't look anything like these limited lines that
make up these letters.
one lister mentioned the term, agrammatical, as a non-word with
significance. its as much of a word as grammatical is, but agrammatical has
less life than grammatical, because agrammatical needed grammatical to
create this form. the term itself is a perfectly grammatical term with
correct morphology for the english language. so as a word, it is a word
regardless of its sense.
