Recommend me?

To whom do folk want recommending?

Shouldn't it be; Recommend a/an (name of article) to me.

 

[Markymark]

Don't worry, I'll not be recommending you to anyone.

it's an internet forum, as long as you get your message or request across does it really matter if it isn't grammatically correct?

Don't worry. My reputation is sufficient recommendation.

 

[vernon]

does it really matter if it isn't grammatically correct?

Yes. B4 u no it, it will end up as txt spk.

You have a valid reason. @ScotiaLass, I doubt the others who mangle the English language and use the same expression do.

I don't mind having my grammar corrected. I treat it as a learning experience and not an insult.

Now that would annoy me, text speak on paper or a forum is just plain annoying and bloody lazy imo

I can't read text speak at all, it hurts my brain! It's same with long paragraphs of text with no punctuation.

My son aged 15, and also with AS, will often ask me "Can I use the computer?"
To which I reply, "I don't know, can you?".
The light bulb comes on and he replies "May I use the computer?"

Sadly it's making inroads into the written responses of pupils in GCSE papers and before you know it...

Only if you want to project that image.

I think @vernon is right in this instance
Bad spelling does not bother me, as I am a good speller.
Bad grammar confuses me, my English grammar is not so good, I try to improve, but if I see something written down by a native speaker that I think is incorrect, I get confused
