I have a question, why do people care so much about spelling capital letters or puncuation.  I mean if you can understand why does it even matter Does it matter if you spell you-u? or what ever. Pluss people get all pissy an start giving out persanel attacks. Well there all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think most the time people are just frustrated because it takes them longer to read and understand it, so they'll make a comment to the poster. But sometimes, a dude will do it just to be a wise-guy. But on the whole, I don't think anyone cares if you make an abbreviation and it's actually easier and faster to read...it's just when someone's laziness wastes another person's time that people get angry. |

You said: I have a question: Why do people care so much about spelling, capital letters, or puncuation? I mean, if you can understand the person, why does it even matter? Does it matter if you spell you "u?" Plus people get all pissy and start giving out personal attacks. Well they're all *cuss word*!!! I fixed it for you. |

I don't mind at all if you want to look like a dumbass. That said, why not use correct grammar? It's actually pretty easy...

You know, I'd like to add that maybe about three or four people who post regularly on this forum use perfect grammar.
Almost everyone else makes mistakes on a regular basis; only the ones
who type out posts a lot like—hm—yours take any heat for their poor use
of the English language. For example...
Frozen Balls should have an extra space after his first ellipsis. Also—if I wanted to get really picky—then I could point out that "it" is a very unclear pronoun. But as I said, no one really minds so long as the post isn't too bad. Now, if I have to strain to read the damn thing... ------------- __________________ __________________ |

I guess that's why people care about spelling, grammar, and punctuation, the same reason it was implemented, not to torture the lazy, but to make things more intelligable. ------------- Tenacious and Versatile |
