ORIGINAL: LadyPact Taking the thread in the spirit in which it was intended.......... I'm not the spelling, grammar, homonym, slash speak, text speak, caps, or third person writing police. At the same time, for the love of mike, could you please, put some effort into it? This is a written forum and the way your message is printed on the screen really is the impression that people have of you. If even a computer twit like Myself can manage to get spell check going, it's a reasonable request. Even if I couldn't, google is a click away and it's not that hard to access a dictionary. If you can't be bothered, you just might be as lazy, apathetic, and unintelligent as you are making yourself appear to be. Everybody is going to goof up once in a while. When it's constant, it does reflect on you. I know my typing skills well enough to know that at times I am GOING to transpose a letter or two.. and I have said in the past: deal with it.. I am not going to backspace 15 sentences to realign an 'I' and a 'T'. I know I tend not to use punctuation. HOWEVER, at least I am clear in what I am saying (well, except when I am tired...but oddly, usually that STILL seems to make sense to most..).. if I scan and see that the typo/transposition in some way interferes with what I am saying, I will fix it. I *try* to extend that same attitude towards others... but when they constantly make egregious typing errors and say (in essence) "fuck you, you all suck!!!" yeah..no quarter from here.. at least make an effort, FFS. and when the errors are so CONSTANTLY and obviously interfering with the communication... consider getting Dragon, or whatever that voice recognition typing prog is!!
