and i would use capitals and full stops and grammer stuff properly but i have such a hassle with spelling i spend most of the time trying to spell check stuff, like this post has taken 10 minutes to write because even if i spell check it some words dont look right and i have to use microsoft words aswell as an online spell checker just to make sure which in itself is hard enough to do.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Does it honestly hurt to use capital letters and full stops?
I understand that dyslexia can limit the typer's ability to spell, but c'mon, it's not that hard to put a full stop at the end of a sentence, and begin a sentence with a capital letter.
Yeah, this'll probably get moved soon, but, whatever, I needed to get it off my chest.
its come on. NOT c'mon.
some people aint got time for this, they got bills to pay.
some people aint even got the luxury of bills, they gotta try to get fed. go be a teacher or summin.
muggy thread.

My grammar my spelling fails me *waits to be sued for the last penny to my name*
I know my stuff sucks that i can't spell and work out full stops but having it pointed out all the time makes me feel like i am back at school and being bullied.

YEP. thanks.
lets define grammer nazi.
A person who believes proper grammar (and spelling) should be used by everyone whenever possible. b – One who attempts to persuade or force others to use proper grammar and spelling. c – One who uses proper grammar and spelling to subtly mock or deride those who do not; an exhibitor of grammatical superiority. d – One who advocates linguistic clarity; an opponent of 1337-speak. e – One who corrects others' grammar; the spelling police.
proper noun
A nickname, pseudonym or handle for a well-known grammar nazi (defs. 1 and 2) within a particular social circle, used to show either great respect or great contempt for his or her abilities.
verb (transitive)
To correct the grammar of (a person's speech, a piece of writing, etc.); to edit for grammar and spelling; to proofread. A grammar nazi knows the difference between "there," "their" and "they're."

A full stop and basic punctuation changes the whole paragraph; without it, two sentences that read the same can have two completely and utterly different meanings.
I think that on a site that is based solely on written communication, basic punctuation is somewhat of a necessity. And it's certainly not trivial, it's - if we're going down the job front - a basic part of any workplace, for basic communication.
Edit: and with your last post, surely it's kinda important whether the sentence reads: "they are", "their" or "there", as each of those has different meanings too. People shouldn't have to translate a post to reply to it, that's just basic laziness (for the most part) on the part of the poster.

support website or how to do correct grammar website?
srsly... when i am 'ill' my spelling goes out the window.. i spell head like haid... i cant help it.
why should the spelling or structure of a piece of writing on this website matter to the support they receive?
if its readable, then its fine by me.
i dont understand the rule about text speak..its not annoying to me, i read it in my head like a normal sentance.. if it says '2'.. i stil say 'to' in my head.
wtevs.
yeah, i havent read the whole thread.. i might just be repeating everyone else.. and what?
