Traditional netiquette requires one to ignore misspellings
and grammatical errors.  I think that this stems from
the fact that many of the early Internet users were too
busy to proofread.  I know that is why many of my posts
contain errors, I just don't have the time to proofread
or run posts through the grammar checker.  This
is complicated by the fact that I'm dyslexic and often I
literally cannot see errors.  Things of importance I have
others proofread for me.  So, liberal or conservative we
should cut people some slack on syntax.  Of course I
retain the right to point out fuzzy reasoning.
