'Your Grammar Sucks': Jack Reads YouTube Comments (VIDEO)

Jack is taking a stand against the horrible spelling and grammar displayed by most YouTube commenters by doing a dramatic reading of some of his favorite barely-legible comments.

Maybe it's the fact that he's casually on a beach, or the fact that somebody spelled parody "paradoy", but we love whatever magic is happening in this video.

If you like this one, be sure to check out his first "Your Grammar Sucks."

Warning: NSFW language.

Check the link right here on HuffPo: "Al Gore Lets Loose On Psuedo Science Bull**** In Aspen." (The actual article has the word corrected.) I teach high-school English and have worked for many years as an editor, and yet it frightens me how my own mechanics are slipping. The word "lose," for example, as in "to no longer possess," sometimes seems correct to my eye when students spell it "loose."

It's hard to know how to react. If you correct someone's spelling in a post, you get slammed and possibly rightly so. And yet, given that posting/texting often happens via phone, it seems reasonable to expect that words will be misspelled -- sometimes deliberately, sometimes not. I feel overall that we are all relaxing our standards, lowering our expectations. I'm starting to think this is inevitable.

I know MY grammar sucks. I finished college and I love reading but somehow the rules about punctuation (commas, point, etc) never ever stuck to my head. I read books, I did exercises, I studies, I wrote many essays (A's and B's on all), I tried to learn the basic rules of grammar but up to this date I am ashamed to say that I need someone to proof read everything I write :( ... any advice?

Even great writers need people to proof their writing. It's usually easier to see mistakes in other peoples writing than in your own. I wouldn't worry about it.

It helps if you read you comments aloud before posting. There's no telling how many times that's saved me, 'cause those comments I don't proofread end up being full of typos and transpositions.

Funny idea with a mediocre execution. Honestly, isn't there already a feature on Youtube that allows you to have your comment read back to you before you post? Doesn't this negate the necessity of this kinda video? Also, why say that it's NSFW if you're just going to bleep the curse words anyway?
