What do you think about theatre awards in general?

They are terrible

I am mixed. I love to see the fashions and the outfits.In my opinion alot of awards are more given on popularity and politics than merit. Plus I find it very narcissistic in a look how wonderful we are way.

I think you need to get rid of all your socks.

The Emmy's and Oscar's bore me to tears, especially the Oscar's . I enjoy the Tony's and the Grammy's because of the live entertainment.

You also seem to enjoy adding apostrophes to words for no reason.

Welcome to BWW and the world of chat boards! I'm so honored I could provide your first experience with the mention of grammar or the use of apostrophes. As you can tell by the adorable little gif above, the subject itself is hardly new and discussion of it is not only all over the world wide interwebs, but has occurred numerous times on these very boards on BWW! You can use the "Search" feature for more examples or even try the use of "Google" for hundreds and thousands of topics and discussions from people all over the world!

Luckily, I don't live life by your needs or requirements and it's not like you're the shining role model of chat board etiquette or anything. I would've given you a C for your use of grammar, but your attitude and ambivalence lowered it to a D. Perhaps it's time for a review!

Well, everyone has different pet peeves and what they do or do not consider a nuisance. One of the things that bothers me is ambivalence towards the written word while simultaneously communicating in a forum requiring the use of the written word as communication. To me, it's just as disruptive to navigate the mistakes and more of a nuisance to normalize them as "nonstandard usage". And as I was pointing out, my pet peeve for grammar usage isn't uncommon in the least.

And bitching about the futility of someone addressing it? Using four times as many lines to explain how I need a life for posting a remark is just hilariously hypocritical. But I do agree that you have every right to bitch about me as I do to bitch about grammar. And honestly kdogg, your post just now did nothing more to contribute to the flow of discussion on theatre awards, did it? Of course, the topic was started by a sock puppet who only exists to start threads with inane questions, so does it really even matter? I don't take it as a personal attack. It's just a discussion and this is just a message board.

Some people will absolutely not care about grammatical errors, but some will. For the latter, they may immediately diminish or ignore your point(s). Right or wrong, if you want your message to have as much impact as possible, pest to write it properly.

It's a whole new discussion.

It helps to acknowledge, perhaps, that just as an employer will judge you by the way you dress and groom yourself for an interview or work, a reader will judge you by the quality of your writing as well as the content. So there's never a good reason not to proof your work (of course, we all have typos; the beauty of BWW is the ability to correct them).

I likes theatre awards.

Sorry but the nuns I had as teachers in elementary school already taught me many years ago about grammar. I have a feeling they would forgive me for my "grave" error - lol. I have a college degree and I have been an IT professional for many years. Trust me, my resume and emails sent at work are reviewed for errors. You are right, my attitude about it is probably a "D". I post here for entertainment so I really don't check it very carefully. Plus, I now know that you will be checking so I really don't have to worry about it - lol Actually, I think I am a role model of chat board etiquette. I always treat people with respect here and I have seen a lot worse said to people than "get a life" If that bothered you than I will apologize.

When a language standard is promulgated in the US, I'll fall into formation. Until then, ...

B.O.T...I <3 the Grammy's but the Tony's, Emmy's, and Oscar's ZZZzzzzZZZZ

Didn't you do the derailing before the grammar lesson, though?

Yup.
