Why can't anyone ******* use grammar correctly on Facebook?

Your, you're, there, their, they're. Learn the difference. Stop being a raging idiot and learn your language. Why is swag now more important than proper grammar?

    I think you should calm down, this is the INTERNET. If you expect everyone to use perfect grammar all the time, I wish you luck.

    Blame it on idiot parents who appease their children with Ipads, cell phones, and console games rather than make sure they do their homework like we had to in the old days. Today, parents come home and tell everyone how they got over at work on Facebook all day and then wonder why their children are so ignorant they can't make change for a dollar. It isn't the government destroying the Great American Empire. It's the general public with their lack of work ethics and ignorance in child rearing. Sad story when there are 3rd world countries whose children are more educated than children in the States.

    Edit: @Becca. You might educate yourself on the stats of education levels in the World. You act as if spell check teaches everything a child needs to learn. Secondly, the United States has dropped from first to sixth place in most educated countries of the World in the last 30 years. I'm not so sure how educated you are. Maybe you lack in mathematics.

    I'm usually a stickler for correct usage but I understand that Facebook is a social networking site. Personal Facebook pages are the online equivalent of gossiping at the lunch table at school. If you visit some of the more "grown up" sites established for specific causes, hobbies, software users, etc., you'll usually see better grammar and spelling.

    I've also made typos that, in my hurry, I don't see and don't correct so I feel compelled to forgive others their occasional mistakes.

    I disagree with the answer that its caused by iPhones and iPads, both types of device have spell check. Along with the built in spell check on computers themselves poor spelling and grammar is a choice. Some people want to portray themselves as stupid or gangster or 'swag'-y? Trying to get on some scripted reality TV show or hopefully they're just trolling!

    I'd like to improve on DropKick's answer by just saying that they lack the brain cells to care.

    As for the question, idk

    Some people are just idiots, the best thing you can do is correct them.
