[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all honesty, I really don't like reading anything that isn't well-written. I just can't understand how some adults don't seem to know basic spelling (their/there, your/you're/etc). I do cut ESL folks some slack. I'm not as rigid when it comes to punctuation...don't mind if you screw that up a bit. [/quote]

This used to be me.  Then I found I made some of the same mistakes - not because I didn't know any better, but because my brain was ahead of my fingers.  I am a very bad typist.  When I was in high school (this was pre-internet and even pre-home desk top for most people), I thought if I knew how to type it woudl limit my career options, so I skipped it so I couldn't be forced into a pink collar job.  Of course, now typing is a life skill.

In any event, on top of my numerous typos, the part of my brain working on typing is behind the part thinking, so the typing part types hominems (or is it hominyms - don't know how to spell check on DCUM either).

Now I just get fussed about [b]eggregious stuff[/b] or completely incoherent posts.[/quote]
