I believe a poll is in order

If you would simply speak real English and not the lazy, abbreviated "txt" shit then we wouldn't all be making such a fuss about it. The only reason you won't is because either you can't and/or you are simply after attention, personally I think it is both.

Yeah I agree with the topic pretty much as a whole. It's crap how people can either not be bothered or cannot use correct English. Like Jess said text messaging must have a lot to do with it, but I've always managed to keep my text messaging and proper English apart so I don't see why other people can't. I probably don't text as much as some people but I usually end up sending about 10 a day, so others should be able to do it aswell.

I must say bad editing (ie 50 lines in one block) will irritate me more than bad spelling, and I won't bother reading.

I'll admit that I take a lot of time, and often edit several times the post in which I really want to get something through, from a joke to a serious opinion on an issue I care very much about, from irony to sarcasm. I take even more time as English isn't my first language.

It's actually not to please the reader or show him/her some respect - though I understand it might and that's fine - it's to make sure he/she understands everything I mean and feel so the conversation as a chance to go somewhere.

Bad spelling is not that annoying to me as I think it's the speller's problem if he comes out as a stupid cool wannabe. On the other hand I find it sad that such people don't understand how Language is a beautiful invention and a universal tool, in the exact same way music is, and refuse to use it as such be it on a message board.

You can pack a small sentence with much more sense and emotion with the appropriate words in the adequate position than with the first words and syntax that come to mind.

How nice does playing the guitar with messed up chords and wrong intervals sound? Not only does it sound awful, it doesn't make sense and carries no emotion. It's pointless.
Put it all in order to reflect your state of mind in the best way possible. You'll get some valuable returns and start sharing real meaningful moments.
