    Actually I feel the same way. It is very annoying to read a post that has no grammar, punctuation or correct spelling. I mean, there is even a built in spell check. It is also bad when people abbreviate words and the result is something that makes no sense. You can really tell when people are in a rush or just don't care. It's a little pet peave of mine. If you don't have the time to think about what you want to say and how to say it, then I don't have the time to try to attempt to bulldoze through your question.

    I am guilty. Last night I misspelled copepod... I spelled it copod. I do make it a point to get your and you're correct, and to add periods so my sentence doesn't go on and on and on. It drives me nuts when someone spells worse then a fifth grader, but I guess it's my issue.

    I must say I get pretty lazy on here. I try, hard to make sure that my spelling makes sense. Most of the time I dont have spelling errors, but punctuation- just like I did with don't. It saves me an extra .001 of a second.

    Quick side note, there is an interesting study on the misspellings of words, as long as the first and last letter of the word stay in the same spot, the rest of letter can completely be all jumbled up and our brains can still decifer it. The word must still have all the correct letters in it for this to work.
    A little crazy I think

    I've across some posts here that are completely unreadable. I could deal with typos. I create a lot of those on my laptop. But it's the misuse of 's, confusion between to and too and do and due and last but not least improper use of it's and its that really bug me. Sometimes I need to read a post a few times to decipher it due to poor grammar. if the post is unreadable I move on.
