Bad Spellers Repent!

[Drivegirl54]

I admit that I'm nowhere near perfect on spelling and grammar, but OMG it drives me insane to see the punctuation and misspelling! A lot of times I can't even read the thread b/c it irritates me so much.
Edited to add- It's not necessarily the bad spelling but the crappy grammar.

I need help

Why? I've never seen a post on here that I couldn't read its meaning easily. Why should bad spellers have to bother running a spell checker for somebody else. Maybe some of us need to improve our reading skills instead.

I actually have come across one or two posts on here that lack ANY capitilalization or punctuation (not even a . ) and I could not follow them or make sense of them because I never knew if it was a question or a statement or whuuuuuh???

I'm a poor speller, but at least I know it. I also type badly. I do try to correct my errors and to apologize when I can't. I am frankly appalled by some of the spelling I see here, especially by people who claim to be teachers. I tend not to read the long posts with no paragraphs, the unpunctuated and uncapitalized posts, and the posts in text-speak. I skip them because I find them too hard to read and annoying.

my posts also frequently say "edited by..."

I've also seen several threads on education lately. These are threads on homeschooling, issues with public school, age of school entry and other education related topics. My golly, some of the writing on those threads, with blatant spelling and grammatical errors!!! I think I'll leave it there, before I go into a rant or get myself into trouble.

It's not misspelling - its the computer version of "chicken scratch"!

I this a re-post? I think we have been here & done this...

I am a pretty good writer, what with my graduate-level edumacashun & all. However, I am not a good speller. An autistic family member of mine is a great speller - terrific! I think it is two parts brain wiring & one part paying attention.
