12/7/2012 4:02:24 PM Posted: 5 years ago Should spelling and grammar be a factor when voting on a debate here? I don't mean blatant stupid disregard for the human language as some people commit everyday on various websites, but simple errors. I think not regardless of there being a spell check. I'd be too lazy to go through the spell check personally

12/7/2012 4:07:43 PM Posted: 5 years ago The S/G points aren't for who had better grammar & spelling. They're for penalizing a debater if he has significantly poor S/G. They should be used but only if there's a very noticeable difference.

If a person's grammar is so terrible you cant even understand what they are talking about, then that is where spelling comes in. Example: http://www.debate.org...

12/7/2012 5:25:14 PM Posted: 5 years ago Actually, I quite enjoy granting that vote. It's an amazing tie-breaker in an otherwise matched debate.
Just "cut and paste" the arguments into Microsoft Word for an instant snapshot of who was careful enough not to waste a free point. Vidi, vici, veni. (I saw, I conquered, I came.) |

12/7/2012 5:26:38 PM Posted: 5 years ago I be thinkin spellin n' grammar should count toward tha score up in a thugged-out debate. This is cuz of tha fact dat yo' crew has ta read tha rap battle n' vote on tha debate. It be much easier n' aiiight ta read all up in grammatically erect, orthographically erect, n' progressively erect arguments. It makes tha reader smoke up readin yo' case much mo' than he otherwise would.
