Re: A pet peeve of mine


Befor I get started I thought I would share my post from the other Thread
(#62) This post goes out to all those who feel that punctionsation, spellin and capitalazation or proof reading do not matter. I am posting this the way I type ths first time with out the items listed previously and fat fingers included. With communication, body language and empesis on certian words makes up more of the message than the words thimselvs. Whit out teh body language and hearing the emphisis on words the reader must rely more on the words written to get the intended message. This is why the smiles and dancing bannanas wer added. they help to convey some of the emotions. the way posts are written with spelling and grammer, reflect alot about the poster and his personality. I would assume that you wouldn't show up for a job interview in Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Or would you show up at a back yard barbique dressed in a 3 poece sute. They style should be geared to the intended audiance. When IO post I feel that I am making a contrubtion to the original post / conversation andd I try to do it in a way that the readers will eaasily read it. I feel people who post wioth out spell check, grammer etc.. do not care about the reader, they just want to put their point ov view out. Obviously some leaway is made for people whos first language is not english. So, all those who don't take the time to spellcheck or check grammer, or capitalize, How do you like reading posts written like this? in all honesty, this is what anything I write looks like the first time. I did not ake this up.
