I know people love to type in all lowercase and use horrible spelling and grammar and all...
Francis himself says "i" instead of "I"...
and of course we have our little memes and fads that force us to use horrible grammar and spelling and such...
But can we be just a little bit more strict on our spelling and grammar? This is a forum for crying out loud. I can type at least 70 words a minute with NO mistakes... everyone else on this forum can SURELY type 30 words a minute with no mistakes. Not only that, it's a FORUM, you're given no time restraints... you can take hours, weeks, months, even years to get your sentences right, or even semi-right.
None of us are super geniuses who have memorized the dictionary, nor are we all perfect at grammar, but on a forum, I would honestly expect more than "hi i m a new membr n i liek mario gamez so ya im new lolol" from new member's posts, and I'd certainly expect sentences to be evenly sorted out instead of one HUGE run-on sentence.

We do not need Grammar Hitlers dictating our posts. The typos are a part of us, as is stuttering and mispronounciation in real life.
M'aiq does not support.

Now, do you guys want to be seeing this crap everywhere? I know I don't.
Look at how smushed together that is. Where are the periods? I don't see any, do you? |

no I'm not talking about THAT. Mistakes here and there aren't bad at all, none of us are perfect.
I'm talking about people who just don't put forth any freaking effort, such as a few members on the forums who put everything in a run-on sentence with such horrible spelling and grammar that it could make any sensible man (or woman) cringe |

Granted, I don't want to ENFORCE PERFECT grammar and spelling.
But take that post by Knuckles. It's annoying to read and if he had just spent 1 or 2 minutes he could of added some periods and such. |

That is a grammar error, not a spelling error. Kitsune seems to focus this suggestion on spelling.(He only mentions 'grammar') |

When I type wrong, it's on purpose, because I like to type properly. And I think some members type awfully *coughBob-ombcough* |

Well, grammar is what I'm focusing on. It irritates me so much when I have to look at this stuff. |

I'm focusing on spelling AND grammar.
As far as spelling, there's dictionary.com for the hard words. Instead of saying "... aw **** it" and giving up on trying to spell it, try looking it up or something.
Not that I expect people to do that. But another thing... firefox has a built in spell-checker, so you should know when you spell things wrong.
And again, nobody is perfect. EVERY time I have to spell necessary... I have to look it up. EVERY TIME!

and I AGREE. What you just said is EXACTLY what I'm talking about, and if you think otherwise, you completely misunderstood me. |

Most forums I have been on usually have a rule of good grammar. I agree with this. |
