Moreover, sometimes the actual meaning of the
message is lost. If you can make out the real
meaning, fine, otherwise the whole effort of the
writer is wasted. True, it's not a platform for
improving the language skills but inculcating
good habits, writing or otherwise, is no sin either.

this list need good writing skills to convince a
prospective employer (in any language, not
necessarily in English, if that is asked as a
prerequisite). I keep reading worst writings (as
a journalist) and so reading some more in this
list or anywhere else couldn't disappoint me any
more. But you cannot deny that a well-expressed
idea, weather in BBC or in Access India or
anywhere else touches you and there is no harm
for people to learn it. I still feel a neatly
written message project a person in a positive
light and I say this not out of snobbishness,
but out of desire to see others improve and
enjoy the benefits of it. As a writer, I cannot
consider writing as a petty issue too.

Subject: Re: [AI] Care for spellings in postings - a request
Really a petty issue over spellings.
It certainly makes us snobbish to be lured to be
looking about spelling mistakes & comparing it
with party wear or disheveled appearances. This
is not a grammar class or schooling where we are
meeting. Itâs an amalgam of ideas we are
sharing & ideas get prominent here. We also
know poorly written language can never be a
barrier to grasping the essence of an
idea. Only we have to a bit stretch ourselves
to understand. Short messages, shortened words
are the need of the time today for less traffic,
less time, etc. This is not a place to show or
unshow ones skills in writing-itâs simple
business of give & take; take the fruit & throw
the chaff. Lotus always grows in mire, letâs
value the gold not the rust. As far improving
spellings, Braille is just one & perhaps rather
older amongst many as on date like computers, views, news, conversation, etc.
