Let me give you a little advice Zen.

Did I mention the immaturity factor?
Quote:
you have to learn to get over the fact that some of the people on the internet are either a) Still in school b) have a learning dissability c) are victums of public schooling or d) english isn't their first language. Its the ones who can spell but don't bother to and use chat speak instead that you need to get all bent out of shape over.
a) This is Gaia. You have to be 13, iirc. Someone who's spent eight years in an all-English school should have the language down cold. Decades ago, before my time, grammar was taught, spelling was corrected, and teenagers *did* speak proper English.
b) Such as? Most people I've known with learning disabilities have a much easier time using a computer, including my friend's brother, who can't write. He can use a keyboard, just not a pen. I see people with dyslexia and other aphasias typing clearly all the time.
c) Oh please. The public schools I went to were more prestigious than the private ones in the city. Don't lump them all together.
d) I've spoken to several people online whose first language isn't English. Yes, their grammar is usually shaky and their vocabulary isn't large, but they don't necessarily confuse homophones and misspell every other word. They watch closely what they type--so do I when I'm typing in French--so they don't make fools of themselves.
I stand by my belief that anything worth saying is worth paying attention to and saying correctly.
Worth paying attention to what you say and write yes but try not to insult people and call them dumb or retard, that was unnessacery.
If care that much then help fix the mistakes.
