while i understand that people are typing fast and doing a number of other things at the same time and also i understand that english is nopt realyy logical in it's spelling and grammar i really prefer that ppl at least make the atempt to construct a correct and coherent sentecne i mean trying to be comprehensible is not only good for your brain its also a sign of respect srsly if you cannot bother to put your thougts down clearly why should anyone else bother to read them at least read it once your self before you hit post and also their is the edit button if you notice to late that you made amistake i use it all the time because i screw up alot which is ironic considaring how much i blahblahblah all over the place youd think i'd have it worked out buy now

I get really annoyed when people fail to spell a word or puntuate correctly. It really does send a little tic to my face. I find it hard to even stand "lol" or other internet usage and have to force myself to use "IMO" or "BTW", amongst others, if I wish to type a post fast.

I knew of people who would write ESSAYS with sentences such as:

"I was at school, n this girl sed 'u smell'."

Or some other such rot. It especially irks me that when I was at school sitting GCSE exams, it was made clear to us that poor spelling would not cause marks to be deducted - even in English exams!

It is one of my pet hates and sometimes find myself correcting friends like a teacher, which I don't want to do but just cannot help at times.
Also, where I live people seem to have trouble differentiating between 'Brought' and 'Bought' so they will say things like:

"I bought the football with me today."

Which REALLY annoys me! Okay, rant over. Will try and do some work now.


EDIT: Incidentally the post above me makes the point pretty well and I must say I do use the 'edit' button myself quite a lot to try and get what I have written perfect in structure, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
