    Oh, that kind of grammar, I like. Punctuation, proper use of words and all that other shit is just annoying. I've never cared at all about ending a sentence with a proposition. fuck all of that. There/their/they're and shit like it is more spelling in my opinion. But yeah, I'm with you on all that other stuff... except the Skinner part.

    I try to correct my mistakes, but that can only go as far as my knowledge will take it.

    hmm i normally do a quick re read of my posts just to make sure they make sense.

    As for spelling i dont mind mistakes because i have times when i cant think on how to spell works and so long as you know what it means its okey...

    However i hate all the short words, for instance, l8r... they may speed up someones repsonse but it takes twice as long trying to decypher them >__<

    �EDit� I remember being told/ reading about people who have used SMS spellings on English exams...

    Can you imagine how that hurts the brain of non-anglophones?
    Especially when they make mistakes in their "whatever the hell that bastard language is" .

    I mean, yeah, I drop a bit of slang here and there, but come on, man. There's no reason to type like you're trying to piss me off.
