(834 posts)When youre talking or writing to someone or a group, consider their education level and communicate the the language theyll understand. For example, if youre writing a legal document or a scientific paper then precise usage of language may be necessary to get your ideas across. For a general audience less precise language could do even if its not grammatically correct as long as they get and understand the message.
A great deal of our written and spoken language is colloquial and doesnt necessarily follow the rules of proper grammar. Most people on message boards, like this one, use colloquial language and IMO we understand what is being said.
If were to exchange ideas and thoughts then lets concentrate on the ideas and thoughts and not nitpick on the grammar.
