No, as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter all that much HERE. I don't really care how you type, but when you go out of your way to do it just to prove a point, what's the point? You won't see me centering you out on it, but it does make it a little hard sometimes to understand what you (collectively) are trying to get across sometimes and makes reading the post slower. Some don't even bother to finish reading and won't even bother to help out. I can also see how it would irritate some people to no end in that they look upon it as a total waste of their school tax dollars. Also you'll find in real life that most people won't take you seriously if you (collectively again) lack BASIC communitive skills.

dats bout al i gotta i gots on dis subjct homie - man try writing like that on purpose, NOT easy!!! Like I said above, to me you can go ahead and put it out any way you want.

You’re right Rambit (yes man to the bitter end! )

I will never fuss at someone about their spelling and grammar. But it isn’t always so easy to turn it on and off. In other words you let it fly on a message board constantly, then sit down to write a professional letter for a job application. It is very possible some of those errors will find their way in……even with good proofing. Good spelling and grammar are habits developed over time. Since a forum depends solely on the written word to convey opinions and information it would seem critical that the best method of written communication be developed. Otherwise you may be talking to yourself.

If you have that hard of a time why not type your messages in Word and then copy paste into the forum.
