Or am I just being picky and need to get a life?

I was on Facebook about ten minutes ago and some of the grammatical errors bother me so much. Maybe I sound like an old cow, but is it terrible that if anyone is posting anything serious or arguing a serious point, I instantly judge them if their grammar is poor?

I'm thinking of things such as:

no know
has bin has been
dats all right that's all right
We r with u we are with you

I also hate the shortening/changing of words. Like "hols" instead of "holiday." "Jammies" instead of "pyjamas." And the worse... "Famalam" instead of family. It makes me cringe even writing that.

I think I probably am being unreasonable.

Very unreasonable.

But I shall ask anyway- AIBU?

I don't mind if you think I'm an old cow, as I probably am these days! And it will also be ironic if I've committed a grammatical sin in this post.

Yes, I am aware it isn't incorrect grammatically, I just don't like it! So in that sense I am being unreasonable but as a writer it is a pet hate purely from a melodic point of view and I would never use it.

Well yes, I mean Shakespeare could make Vicky Pollard's diction sound lyrical....

The posts I find irritating are those that don't contain any punctuation & are written fully in lower case! I end up having to read the (usually long) posts a few times over to make any sense of it.

Depending what mood I'm in wander and wonder being used incorrectly or 'on root' to a destination irrationally irritates me.

Apologies if someone's already cited this, but I've noticed loads of instances of 'been' where the writer means 'being', e.g. 'I'm going to have a glass of wine been as it's after 6'... It really grates on me!

But dixie It's a bit of fun, not to be taken seriously! Like a "hooman been" Get it ?!!!!

Their written as there... cringe

ppeatfruit, not the way I've seen it, it's not!

Do people really say 'famalam' 😂😂

People using 'exiting' or 'exited' instead of exciting or excited. Drives me round the bend!!
