You are right about it.

"Quotes that have incorrect spelling and punctuation are just embarrassing"

Correct - but this is why you can choose to edit incorrect quotes for future people.
I know I have seen my fair share of typos on quotes - but I have also made sure to fix it and submit it (click the pencil next to the title of the quote)

"Quotes that do not adhere to modern english syntax do not reinforce useful skills"

Can you give me an example of these types of quotes? 99% of the quotes I see on here adhere to the English syntax! Just because they use things like quotes or colons doesn't mean they're not useful. In fact, I think learning to type these special characters is just as important if you want to improve your typing.

"..choose to edit incorrect quotes for future people."

Dude, I don't mess with *future people* (which is not a phrase we use). And I definitely I don't have thirty seconds to correct other people's insufficient skills. At least not for free.

I had to type in the lyrics to some band (Chemical Brothers or something or another) and it was one long run on sentence with no punctuation and a little 'na na na na' at the end. I need useful skills. I'm not training to be a high-speed repeater or stenographer. I need to more efficiently get the words from my head to my hands.

And I read:

me, myself and I - my qoute
"Yourself will be the one doing things not others. You will be doing when you grow up. You will have done things on your own so I were you, I would be practicing to be a responsible human being. - me, myself and I."

Don't get me wrong, I love the site, and the product. And how it's free. Just bums me out. Take care.

I have been hoping for years that keyhero would crack down on improvised quotes. Most of the people posting them are lying. They invent bogus names, or attribute them to Anonymous or Unknown, when they are obviously the author.

Most of those who aren't lying can't write to save their lives, and their attempts at profundity are embarrassing.

There are a few outliers, but they are a tiny percentage in a sea of mediocrity.

One simple change could fix this: Give us a way to flag a quote that we never want to see again. It would only take a slight change to the SQL of the quote selection query to exclude these quotes.

The answer I have always been given is "Down-vote the quotes you don't like." Yeah, that does nothing. There are too many people upvoting them. They still show up.

Preach. I don't know when we started thinking that the first thing out of our mouths was worth a damn. Thanks Donald.

Yeah..., I think posts like these are good because they let other people, specially very young users, know what the ideal for typing quotes that are actually useful is....

Incorrect punctuation on many of the quotes here drives me nuts, especially quotations where the put the ending comma outside the closing quotes. I'm afraid that if I keep typing here, I might develop the wrong muscle memory. Run-on sentences, missing commas, incorrect ellipses spacing, etc.
