Some people just refuse to read over what they've written before there they push the submit button.
I know if you don't know the difference between their and there reading over what you've written won't help, but some posts have to be read 2 or 3 times before you can make any sense of them.
Also, the rules clearly state no 'text speak'. I hate seeing posts riddled with 'U' and '2' and vowels missing (I even hate texts like that!)
I must look like a right tit now with my mistakes in there,but in general you can understand what it says.Some posts on here are unreadable.Heres two examples.
1.What being spelt waht
2.And the best one I have seen yet.Individual spelt induvidal.

Good spelling and grammar is VERY important, even if this is 'just a forum'.

You're taking the piss right?
No. You need a BASIC level of spelling and grammar. How can you hope to get your point across if you can't even spell correctly or use the correct words?
No punctuation can make a post hard to read and understand.

All different words and mean different things. THIS is my #1 gripe.
I'm not saying you have to be perect, just take five seconds to check you've used the right word and spelt it correctly.
Oh, and WALL OF TEXT is never good.

I'm not perfect,if i think it's dodgy i google it,i always preview my posts anyway,and i alway edit even after i've posted.
But personally it doesn't bother me the odd spelling mistake in a post i read,but we've had some bastard ones on here though!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
Well I guess it matters and I must admit this text talk sometimes breaks my head and I end up asking my 14 yr old step daughter for help.
To me personally as long as I can generally understand the main points in someone’s post then that’s fine by me. I think its more important that folks get their views and ideas across clearly more than worry about totally perfect grammar.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
