    I have something to confess... If people don't use capital letters to start sentences, punctuation to end them, or break their posts into paragraphs, I flat-out refuse to read them. There's a big difference between "reading" and a word search!

    Any and all laziness/carelessness/stupidity in spelling or grammar bothers me (despite the fact that I am often guilty of it myself). But I also can find it amusing... which is why I have trolled the Internet for years and gathered many, many pages of the most atrociously hilarious misspellings I could find. I read through them when I need a laugh. [:D]

    Grammar/spelling mistakes dont bother me at all.  I rarely use an apostrohpe simply because Im too lazy to type it.  I would certainly type it out if It's a formal letter but not in  a forum or text msg.  As long as I can figure out what someone is trying to say, I find no need to get bothered by spelling mistakes.

    As a graphic designer, I'm constantly picking out typos. On a forum like this it doesn't really bother me, because it's more like conversation. Plus I know I'm not always perfect, and there's no spellcheck function here for Macs.

    One of my favorite typos is in a menu at a local restaurant. They sell "blubbery pancakes." Yup. Sounds like they're made with whale blubber, not blueberries. [:-]

    Ok, so I replied before I finished reading all the posts. 
     
    I did really well in English in high school.  But I find that since I've been out of high school, my grammer and spelling have become horrible.  I constantly have to spell check or look a work up in the dictionary.  I don't write a lot for work.  So I've become very rusty.
