Learning how to spell or at least proof read your post.
Things to consider before you post.
Monday, January 28, 2008 by mschleisner | Discussion: Community
I would say to that, so sorry but your post didn't make the cut because you didn't spell check. Here there isn't that option so you must proof read your post first and if you are not sure of the spelling please look up the word first to make sure you look like someone took a little time to read before you post. I do this for my own sanity. I try very hard to make sure I at least try to spell it right before I post. I might not be the brightest bulb in the box but I don't want to look like the broken bulb either. Please just check before you post and save the people here from looking at these mistakes and try to use "Caps" where needed. Couldn't hurt. Thanks from someone who goes crazy when she views posts like this.

I Agree

I could read that easily too 
Being on the internet is no excuse for poor English. It is not cool or clever to type with abandon, it's just ignorant. If you can't be bothered to type properly, I can't be bothered to read it...
It also shows a lack of respect for those who are reading/writing English as a second language. Although English has become the language of the internet, ¾ of the world do not speak any English at all.
Behave like a child, expect to be treated like a child.
It has already been said, but a little courtesy goes a long way.

My personal issue is that if people wish to communicate with me personally...and they expect a response, then that response will be commensurate with the considered effort they have taken in communicating.
To translate for the slow...or lazy.... treat me with disdain/contempt by not offering me the simple act of polite, intelligent communication then I'll simply either do one of two things....ignore you totally, or permanently write you off as ignorant or stupid or uncaring, or all three.
Latitude is afforded those whose first language is not English [or its derivatives], and there are many here, as this is an international community.
Even Kona got it right. It's the polite thing to do.
As for 'grammar Nazis' ....we shouldn't be policing it, just gently suggesting people will go further in life if they have/use good communication skills...

How ironic. Perfect. I see this was noted by others as well, but I couldn't pass up on it.
Thanks for the comic relief.
Ditto regarding large blocks of text.

To which the British offcicer remarked: "Sir, do you not know the King's English?"
"Well I cert'nly hope the bludger is, they sent me 'ere t' fight for the bastard."
Boom boom

they are not being
just because someone can't spell or spell proper don't make them
Damn we should just round up everyone that can't read,write(properly) spell correctly
and put them in the ground. because they are to stupid.
what, do I see hitler..?
this is not being polite
not spelling correctly or misspelling is not being rude or being lazy..

And individuals deciding what to reply to on there own does not correlate to genocide. Choose your examples or illustrations better so as not to be perceived as an inconsiderate clod.

Blue eyed and Blond hair..
maybe I was being a tad bit of a Clod (a silly or foolish person) or
was that to put some clod on top of them, stupid lazy ones. hhmmm
IF and ONLY if they don't take time to communicate well. well it makes them, them..
maybe at the MOST lazy.. but who are we to say if they took the time or not they may not
be able to spell good.
so to me posting here and telling people they are, ignorant, stupid, uncaring or impolite or
are being the ones that are being
ignorant, stupid, uncaring or impolite or
Reply #117 Saturday, February 23, 2008 7:03 AM
The TWO things....ignore or write you off.
ignorant, stupid, uncaring - the 'all three'.
Looks like I can count afterall....
CHOOSING not to, when one can IS, particularly if/when the person talking to you is affording you that same respect.
For example, I could explain the difference between someone who cannot communicate well in English due to social or ethnic status, vs someone who just doesn't care enough to give a toss...
Or...
I could be socially and communicatively equally inept and just say...
"yeah, whatever".
It really isn't all that difficult to get to know your correspondent....whether English is or isn't his first language, particularly when it's often [to use your term] "Blue eyed and blond hair" western teenage 'slang' being confused with 'trend-speak'.
Cutting corners in communication tells your audience much more about you than you may really want to reveal.
You know, it ain't "posh" ta speak rite, but "proper" ...peepel confuse the too...

CANDIDATE FOR A PULLET SURPRISE
I have a spelling checker.

Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished inn it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.
