Good point DJ. I can understand people'* spelling mistakes, but some people really need to use punctuation. Sometimes I don't even bother to finish reading posts that lack any kind of punctuation. It drives me crazy! I guess I can be anal, but I'm one of those guys who goes back and edits his post 3 times to get it worded how I want or if I forget stuff I wanted to say

I think a problem is some people are pretty lax in their lingual skills due to their area, country, heritage, and it shows online.

I tend to purposely misspell words at times (see "whatcha") to make it read more like I talk. And I know I make my fair share of typo'*. But it does kind of bug me a little to see what looks like (to me, of course) someone who isn't even trying.

IMO if its such a big issue why not add a spell checker? I too make spelling mistakes, but try to go back and correct them. Other times, I wish I had a spell checker so I dont have to check and recheck the post.

I'm OK with occasional typos, not being sure how to spell 'pneumatic', and using slang or typing like we speak (e.g. prolly, whatcha, etc.), but I have trouble when someone'* just being lazy (or typing like they're on a cell phone)

An' ya know what else gives me a major beak? Wrong use of words that sound the same. 'They're' and 'their' I can deal with, but something like this: "I punched a whole in the door." grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. It'* HOLE, dadnabbit! But that'* why I'm commander-in-chief of the anal grammer users group. *calls therapist and reschedules appointment*
Don't any o' y'all take any of this personally, I'm just generalizing here!
