How can one have an intelligent conversation with someone who is either so ignorant as to not know proper spelling at the very least, or doesn't have enough self respect to not want to seem to be an idiot.
And this "text speak" crap, now don't get me started on that lazy ass form of miscommunication.
Ugh, I know. The text speak is the worst to me. It's like, there are only a few more letters to type before you get to the actual word, why don't you just type them!! I promise it's not that time consuming. And when the letter count is the same, but with oddly placed numbers ...
I believe it's pretty apparent when the person writing is not writing in their native language, or is just ignorant. I have to communicate in several languages, to get information and service on some of the equipment aboard the boat, and there are plenty of excellent, free, translation sites available on the web.
But those English language posters who can't even use a spell checker are the ones that amaze me. Who in their right mind would want to seem so ignorant as to misspell the simple words, so often misspelled on here? I'd be so embarrassed. Grammar is a bit harder; one would actually have to have paid attention in a few classes at school to have some comprehension of the principles.
If even an old shit like myself, nearly 50 years out of high school, can manage to make himself understood by most, then all you young people still in or fresh out of school, should be able to communicate with ease.
Do you get annoyed reading text with bad grammar?

People would describe me as laid-back and easy going, but I must agree with you here 100%.
But you can forgove it if its someone who isn't a native english speaker that tries his best in writing
