Yes it does matter. In a text conversation spelling correctly and using proper grammar will make what you have to say far more understandable.

If you're getting sick of it try and improve your spelling and grammar and not rely on others to lower their standards for you.

No one gives out about the punctuation?

You did start off using txt-speak in earleir threads, which is annoying for most people, but you seem to be spelling alright now.

If someone picks up on the odd spelling mistake in future and goes on about it, don't let it get to you. It says more about them than it does about you.

i know i cant speel but im sick of people giving out about it for **** sake

No, is the answer to your question OP
If people point out your spelling mistakes, it says a lot more about them than
anything else.

...sorry Pookah..did not see your post there!

There is one poster in particular that the only time I ever see post is when she is correcting grammar.

Why did you choose to insert that apostrophe there?

The problem is that it reaches "can't understand it" very quickly.

As long as you make an effort and don't use "txt spk" I don't think anyone really cares. You'll find that 99% of the time grammar & spelling nazis make mistakes in their own posts too.

Outlaw Pete, one of the hardcore posters here, is dyslexic, and uses spell-check whenever he's posting. Perhaps you could try that.

And it wouldn't do any harm to use capital letters at the start of sentences and full stops at the end.

Sometimes you put one sentence after another without a full stop, with no capital letter at the start of the next sentence, and it can make for confusing reading, sometimes.

Good question. Would the fact that I was talking about a particular Grammar Nazi make it ok?

I agree that that's taking it too far and whoever's doing that should stop.

Imagine if you didn't know your g's from your m's:eek:

Try using forums other than AH.

Also use capital letters at the start of sentences. You don't need to be able to spell well to do that. Just flex your little finger over to the left after every full stop and hit shift. It makes a big difference and creates an impression that your post is well writen. People are less likely to immediately get picky and start looking for poor spellings if the body of text at least visually looks like it's written with some adherance to the laws of grammar.

Is it too much to ask for a decent standard of spelling and grammar?

Because some people like to have a go at others. Keyboard warriors, they wouldnt say it to you in person of course, and theres plenty of them here

Maybe the op has a learning disability? people need to calm the fcuk down, unless its written in unintelligible txt spk then a few missing apostrophes or capital letters aren't going to rape your eyes.

If you are using Grammar Nazi as a proper name - that is the individual's user name - and "too" refers to the acronym for "Targets of Opportunity", which you are putting in lower case to be ironic, then yes, the possessive "s" in "Nazi's" is in keeping with Grammar Nazi principles.

To be honest I agree for the most part, I don't really care about spellings all that much as long as I can read something. Lack of capital letters does advertise "poor spellings within" in a post though. The OP would get away with more if he threw a few capital letters in and it's easy to do even if you have a learning difficulty.

Just use google chrome. It corrects your spelling for you and prevents people like me from being annoyed at bad spellers
