When you read a hub full of spelling and grammatical errors do you leave a comment about it?

I wonder how many people have 'stumbled across' a hub full of such errors and then navigated away from Hubpages having decided never to return.

Personally I welcome "tips" and "helpful hints" from other writers. I use the experience of others, as often as I can, to improve my writing skills. It is, however, a mystery to me that some writers who demonstrate dismal spelling skills cannot be bothered to turn on their spell check.

To answer honestly -- no, I usually don't, primarily because I usually don't make it to the end of such hubs. Spelling and grammar errors aggravate me to such an extreme that I find myself focusing on them instead of the content of the hub, and I can't make a constructive comment about something that I haven't been able to read with due attention to what it actually says. I probably should start sending messages to point out that the topic sounded interesting, but that the errors detracted from it to such a degree that I wasn't able to get anything valuable out of the hub.

I wouldn't leave a comment on their hub for the world to see, no. But I might leave a comment to the person in a private email-I can usually tell the differnece between a person whose second language is English and a person who simply isn't bothering to edit articles. The first group of person I would email.

Never. I'm an intelligent person but my spelling and grammar sucks, partially because I don't care. If someone doesn't like the way one of my hubs are written, I really don't need them pointing out the mistakes and it wouldn't matter to me if they did.

That depends on the intention and how you offer the feedback. If the feedback is a private message then it is polite. If the intention of the author is to genuinely produce content that benefits the reader then I would send that private note and help raise the community standard because that benefits us all.

Most people want to produce the best work they can, don't they? So, positive feedback will usually be most welcome.

I hate when I make a mistake. Usually because Im typing fast. But when someone posts with something that looks like a 2 year old tried to text it, its just disgraceful.

I usually don't leave a comment. They don't care if you can read it or not, so why waste my time?

No I don't comment on it. Such comments are off topic and don't really contribute anything to the hub. If they are REALLY bad I don't read any further.

But there are a lot of people who's first language isn't English and they may not realize they are making the errors. So long as I can follow the thought I don't worry much about it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
