Comment Symptom born out of English's strength (Score 1) 2360

English as a language is highly adaptable and not strict. Unlike a programming language where any small mistake in syntax means your code won't compile and things won't work, in English it's easy to understand what someone is talking about even when their text is full of spelling, gramma and punctuation mistakes. Because of this, people get lazy, consistantly spelling the same words incorrectly.

If the English language was extremely strict and the person reading it would fail to comprehend the text because of gramma or spelling mistakes, then I think we'd see a higher level of accuracy.
