I have no major objections to some grammar or spelling mistakes if I think the posters concerned are genuinely giving it their best shot.
Some don't have time to proof read what they write and may include some typos. I think that is acceptable as they are not trying to act the mick and trying to let us all know that they really don't give damn whether the rest of us can understand them or not.
We do have a few of these pr**cks onboard. They don't bother me a lot as I skip their crap as soon as I see who's posting. If they can't be bothered to take the time to write properly, I won't bother to try and make out what they stick up.
I know there are some who may have left school early and who genuinely have difficulty with capital letters and full stops. That is okay also with me. Not everyone on the board knows the difference between a hanging participle and a misplaced identifier. (BTW: I don't either!)
I feel that as this is a discussion board for all to join in and there is no need for formal English all the time. Even the heavy hitters among the cavalry, don't always get it 10 out of 10 all the time and why should they?
Some of them lads have only to look in the mirror to find someone to row with and just get too fired up to think clearly. They are great craic whenever they lose the plot and start mud slinging.
There is room for all types, except those who don't care and think they are so important that the rest of us will take the trouble to follow what they are spouting about.
Sorry; rant is over!
