Mistakes here and there are nothing. It's consistent misuse (perhaps abuse?) of the English language is what some people dislike, and rightly so.

As an example, no one is going to call you out on that "I" that you did not capitalize in your post. If none of your "I"s were capitalized, that's a different story. But that's not the case. Everyone makes mistakes. But it takes laziness and a stubborn will to consistently and blatantly misuse the language.

I agree with you like 95%...You can't claim everyone spells bad because they are lazy or something, you never know if the person spells bad because they have a learning problem;like Dyslexia or something of that matter.

Nothing wrong with that. People who have a medical issue or people who are just learning English as a second or third language are really not the problem. In fact I applaud them for the attempt.

You can usually tell when someone makes an honest grammatical mistake because you can usually decipher between laziness and an honest attempt. "hey guyz bblz i g2g sk8 wit sum frends." is laziness. Something like "Hi, my name is x, I just learning English so I sorry for eny mistakes." Not the greatest example but I trust you can see the difference.

I can understand one or two typos here and there once in a while.
We can't all be perfect in spelling. Especially in the English language x.x

HOWEVER, I myself support this topic 100%!
It drives me insane when some one will type up a sentence like this:
"shea walked acrosss th estreet to hre freined who waz waiting imaptently."

...would it kill them to at least re-read what they've typed so it's legible?!
I've asked a certain person in particular who does this.
I assume they're in too much of a hurry to check and see if we'll be able to decipher her illogical appearing posts...
they ignored me and still do it however... -.-

I myself always re-read and use Word to check words and spelling when I feel I need to.
Most times though I'm confident enough in what I type for I also use Firefox with spell check.

If im on PM or in games-section, I might not so much pay attention to typos.
In rps and other places, I always try to write correctly.

I dont care much if someone says like this;
" Its y dog. In teh house of mine. "
That people get one typo, or say things un-correctly.

I hate it, when people say it like this.
" i swimmed yesterday in pool- it was very hot in ther,, even if was a winter. "

I have typos usually on words "her" and "him", or say them wrong. Like in girl, I might say "him", cause Finland doesnt have gender-calling names. So its just on calling name for same gender. Not two.
So kinda like Roi Doberwolf.

Mm. Wasn't really a challenge.
But it would be a good guess for most members here I've noticed tend to be female.

(sorry to be off topic a bit there)

In my RPs, i check for every typo. and usually, if i spot one after it being posted, I edit it.

I try to not have that many mistakes.

The spell checker on Firefox is good too. If there is a typo, or a misspelled word, it is underlined. so i go and fix it.

I WILL make a mistake here and there, but at least I don't make TOO many mistakes. I try to make my posts good, and not misspelled.

I'm not spamming... That's not what I'm doing. It's you people who are spamming.

Spamming is when you leave a reply that's way to short, and/or is off topic. You have no explanation to your reply, just 'no'.
Therefore it is spam. And saying we're spamming and your not is just asking for argument and it's only more spam that you're posting.
Follow the rules please, don't spam.
