Spelling & Grammar
« on: April 26, 2012, 10:52:30 PM »

Can you please watch yours? I respect your right to an open forum,
but it is so very difficult to take you seriously when you make the page look like a 3rd grader's website.

Note: I do not mean all of you, just watch for more difficult spellings, and accept the red underline if there is one.

While I do prefer people spell things correctly and use good grammar and stuff (and I really, really prefer people to use their spellcheckers if they have one), I don't think an entire thread--let alone an insulting one--is the way to convince people to start doing things differently.

I hate to do this, but before things get out of hand I'm going to lock this one. I just don't see what good can come of it.

Decent spelling and grammar are important for communication (and translation software), but this is an international forum, populated by people with all varieties of backgrounds and abilities.

Thanks for understanding. Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes here.
