How does improper grammar affect communication skill?

Answer 1

"The ability to communicate is not the same thing as the ability to use "proper" grammar; knowing proper grammar merely allows you to express ideas in ways that are acceptable to a certain class of people ("register"), or to control the nuances of grammar to convey things subtly. But communication skills can be quite good even if one's grammar isn't perfect (or if one isn't a native speaker of the language in question). Communicative competence means someone has the ability to make him- or herself understood, despite technical shortcomings in grammar. Good grammar is not a prerequisite per se for communicative competence."

Grammar is an important essence to communication because it helps structure are sentences and it can help in how well we communicate. One who has good writing (grammar: "syntax", "pragmatic", "semantics") is an effective communicator because they will usually be able to catch on to the social rules which help us communicate. If one has poor grammar, they will not be able to communicate effectively, (they will say the wrong things or not make sense to the speaker), some grammar errors are okay during communication but some aren't, take saying "Hey how's a going", that sounds right but when you say "going hey how's a" notice how they do not make any sense, the other speaker may reply with (depending on how you communicate), "What are you trying to tell me"/or "what are you trying to say", * more better grammar gets the message accross clearer", "What mean I, me I asking try question". * Said the wrong thing communicated poorly there to (semantics/syntax error), "Huh", * Other person walks away. Notice how using improper grammar can impact or social communication skills, it makes it harder to socially communicate with someone that's why when we get in communication situations whether it's with a client or someone you know, that's why you have to use proper grammar because the listener may get annoyed with you and walk away /or cause of an misunderstanding make fun of you. However since pragmatics/semantics (social rules) are implied in communication, that's why you have to communicate effectively and alter between what to say lets say you're in science class and you talk to someone and you don't relate to them very well than that means you have a social communication problem, kids with A.D.D. do this and lots of misunderstandings happen and than they get made fun of or sometimes it's saying stupid things, but grammar and it's subtypes (pheno-sub types of grammar syntax, pragmatics semantics) are important because they dominate communication. However social situations (social communication reciporical between multiple people) is not for use of grammar because they don't usually care what you say, but if you communicate with people whether it's persuasion always use proper grammar or sub-types of grammar and if you can't socially interact (have trouble with social situations) than get involved in communication situations, I don't involve myself in groups anyway cause they are bad usually some are good, but remember each grammatical/communication situation is different so you are expected to act differently upon the situation, good grammar and that can also help you get a job man since you have to do a 1-1 interview (communication situation) and you write a resume (grammar) both involve grammar and pragmatics so remember, practice! Practice it (grammar to communicate effectively)! and when you have good grammar you will communicate like a pro and if you can can't socially interact don't bother way tougher situations anyway, most involve communication more especially when you wanna hook up with hot girls or make a friend.
