1. Does anybody (besides me) use proper grammar when texting, posting on Facebook, etc.?
Yes. Someone recently made fun of me for using a semi-colon in a text.
2. Do you correct somebody who uses incorrect grammar while talking? If not, do you at least do it in your head?
No.
3. Do you wince whenever you read a particularly awful Facebook post?
Ah, this is where I am once again reminded of why I am not on Facebook.
4. Have you noticed a trend on Facebook where people don't even bother using periods to separate sentences anymore?
No
5. Have you noticed misspelled words that have nothing to do with 140 character length? (Today I saw somebody spell "do" as "dew"
Are the 140 characters to blame for "no" for "know" and "of" for "have"?
6. (Off topic) Are people whiny bitches on Facebook or what?
I have no idea
, but going by the rest of the internet....7. Has anybody ever called you a Grammar Nazi?
Not to my face.
8. Has Twitter and texting eroded proper grammar for today's youths?
I don't know. I think spelling is more at risk.
9. Have you succumbed to the 140 character shortcuts? How often do you text or tweet this way?
I don't tweet at all, and I only text a couple of times a day.
10. Were there any grammatical mistakes in this survey?
Not that I noticed. The off topic question could perhaps do with a comma, but it was clearly used as an effect.
