Little or no punctuation, blantant spelling errors, no capital letters, idiotic internet abreviations, "Lol" for example. Annoys me to no end! I can post a list of who in particular Im talking about, but Im sure you know who you are.
I guess i would be in this list?

Does it matter? Do whatever you want, its a forum... people disagree.

Again, I take no stance on this one way or the other. Some people type complete sentences, others type the way they talk. Don't be so self-conscious.

Christ, and I thought I was the grammar Nazi. :rolleyes:

I understand what you mean, Return. I find myself skipping some peoples posts because it makes my head hurt to read them. As long as they have punctuation and decent spelling, I'm usually fine. Capitals are nice, too!

I agree with The Flayed One and The_Return. There are some people's posts I skip because they give me a headache to read them. I'm a secretary who proof reads everything, so..........

I"m nearly anal-retentive and/or OCD in regards to grammer. I actually found so many gramatical errors in a local news paper a few years back, that I circled all the mistakes in red ink, graded it with a big "F" and mailed it to the Editor!

I have to make a conscious effort NOT to correct others' poor use of the english language, spelling, and punctuation! Is'nt that sick?

I blame it on my Mom, who was a teacher, and in turn, I was an english major. No one around me was then, nor now, safe!

God...I think I need therapy!:(
