Spelling Good Stupid Bad
Damn, do they even teach spelling and grammar anymore?  When I grew up, stupid was looked upon as a bad thing. Being stupid used to be embarrassing. I guess not anymore.
I don’t mean the occasional typo or mistake. That is going to happen. I mean the users who regularly rape and pillage the written word. And it isn’t just spelling. It is also problems with basic grammar, using the wrong words (there/their, etc.), run on sentences, and complete lack of paragraph breaks, to name a few.
And don’t get your panties in a bunch, or go on the attack of any particular users (attacks on other users is a rant for another day). I am not calling out anyone in particular, or even just users on this site. It is everywhere on the web I go. But if this post makes you mad, then you must be a repeat offender.
And don’t cry about no spell check (although I think you can get add-ins/browser tool bars). Copy & paste from MS Word, etc., works quite well.
BTW, here is a good site: http://dictionary.reference.com/
My head just hurts from trying to read indecipherable threads. I may post this rant at NastyZ too.

Yea. I see what your saying. I just realized that I miss spelled "ordering" in the post I made. Usually I dont use correct spelling or incorrect grammer, but this is just internet and I realy dont care. But when it comes to papers or actually writing something important I make sure that I am correect in what I write.

We could only be so lucky.
Distinguishing between "their" and "there" isnt that hard. I think that is what 4th grade taught me.

If we banned him, we'd have to ban you to for the same thing.
