one thing that everyone on youtube has noticed is the rampant abuse of
grammar, spelling and logic. youtube is probably the single best
example of the internet age making the bastardization of language
acceptable.

but something occurred to me today. the comment boxes are so small
(requiring users to scroll up and down to read even 5 of text) that
after a few posts in a row, even i am tempted not to bother reviewing
my post before i submit it.

maybe the reason that people aren't thinking about what they comment
is that they find it too troublesome to scroll over their whole
comment before posting.

if so, enlarging the comment box may help. this forum message box, for
example, is large enough to accommodate a nice long post which i can
review and edit at my leisure until i decide to submit it.

just a thought, thanks.

The obvious comeback is to ask you why you don't use capital
letters. :-P

To be frank, I don't think simply enlarging the comment boxes will
help. This forum has huge input fields, as you observe, but it's not
exactly a shining example of wonderful literacy or eloquence.

Maybe if they remind people that their comments show up in google
search they'd clean up a bit?
The whole Net outside of YouTube can see what you say too. :-S
