I don't read either of their blogs, but I know that both are rather popular. I could not imagine that they would or should begin to think they can get too sloppy. Maybe a bit more relaxed in their blog compared to their main sites or written articles, but still there needs to remain a certain level of readability. I know on my own blog, I am a bit more lax then I am compared to my other endeavors, and I'm even sloppy when it comes to my forum posts...I do expect others to be the same way. However, I bet if Shoemoney posted 1337 in his blog for an entry or two it would be some funny linkbait.
I think its a great way to communicate with certain people...but not everyone as a whole...the use of slang and other types of bad grammer can sometimes be used as a way of relating to the younger users...
Well, no one writes perfectly all the time that I am aware of. What I do find ironic though is that you have a handful of grammatical mistakes in your article about how bad other bloggers grammar is.
Then maybe they should not be posting in English? Nothing against then or anything, but if you can not properly convey a meaning, maybe the market is wrong... (EDIT: And seriously, nothing against them, I'm a native American and I have issues, lol)
I'd like you to point some out Also notice I mention in the article 'my grammar isn't perfect' obviously I'm not saying all grammar should be spot on. I was referring to blatant lazy mistakes like spellings of very basic words and cheesy slang in place of real words on professional blogs.
First...if the blogger's first language is not English, but they have written good stuff and been kind enough to put it in English so that I can read it with my unilingual self, then I have no problem whatsoever with some grammar mishaps. However, if the blogger is just a careless idiot, then they don't deserve to go anywhere with their blog. Your content represents you...just like when you write an e-mail or post on the forums. Typos here and there are unavoidable, but writing utter grammatical vomit is unacceptable.
Good grammar is definitely a plus, but content is definitely #1. Certain jargon like "gotta" instead of "need to" sometimes makes blogs seem more visitor friendly... Grammar use really depends on site content and audience...
