Good Grammar Gets the Girl by Elissa Englund

   In the essay “Good Grammar Gets the Girl” Elissa England, tell us about her becoming part of an online dating site and how unattractive it is when men use bad grammar.  She gives several examples of the grammar errors she has seen.  She also discovered that many people make spelling errors when trying to express themselves through writing or e-mails.  She talk about his guy she met named Craig and became completely turn off by his spelling errors and choices of words.

          As I read this passage I enjoyed learning that it is not good to use abbreviations.  It makes me think I am giving a bad impression of myself.  This passage also made me remember how my teachers always told me to read out loud what I write.  It makes you realize on how people treat each other without knowing each other.  The way people approach you.      

            People now these days don’t think about the way they talk to each other.  They think that it is cool to use slang as they chat.  Even when they are meaning someone new they still use slang, they do not think about how lazy they look.  The sad thing is that there parents start to do the same thing without analyzing what they are doing.

In one of Elissa England paragraph, she mentions that   that grammar isn’t just a subject taught in seventh grade or a thing you worry about when writing a cover letter any longer.  If you can’t spell, use grammar, or express yourslfe through writing, you’re going to be in trouble with the ladies.

 Over all I believe that people shouldn’t get judged by the way they write.  I also believe that if people are looking for someone to love they shouldn’t be worried about the way that they write and they should worry more about the personality of the person and the life they have, not the way that they write.
