I think both sides are at fault here. It would be nice if spelling and
grammar were taking more under consideration, but I don't understand the
complaints about messages being hard to read and understand. I have no
problem at all understanding even the most horribly typed messages, I even
use translation services to do some things that make some messages on here
look like professional grade documents. It seems to me that if you can't
understand something even if it's badly written, you have no right to
complain because it isn't like it takes any extra skill or adjustment to
figure things out. If anything I just find it arrogant. Not everything will
ever be perfectly clear and easy to read, but complaining about not being
able to understand it, in my opinion, makes people look just as bad.

Hi Charles,
I am in full agreement with you on this point. I understand in cases
where English isn't a person's native language where they make
grammatical and spelling errors in their posts. However, the irony is
that I know of many people on this list and several other lists that
are not native English speakers and there spelling and grammar are
almost textbook perfect where native English speakers who should
certainly know better have the most spelling and grammar errors of
all. I don't know if it is the fault of the education system, weather
or not the people in question don't care, or there is some type of
mental disability involved but I can't help but notice the fact I
often delete a lot of posts simply because little to know attempt was
made at clarity. If some people have difficulty making there day to
day posts clear it is doubtful they will be able to construct an
article or review of a better quality unless they seriously proofread
and spell check their work Its not like I expect the post to be
textbook perfect, but I do expect a reasonable attempt at spelling and
proper punctuation if nothing else..
