Default thought and taught

why do people say taught instead of thought when they are posting?

the most annoying thing people write is "would of" or "should of" instead of "would have/should have".

Why didn't you start that sentence with a capital letter? Seems pretty dumb really when you have gone to the trouble of making a spelling and punctuation orientated thread.

It was a valid point. Glad to see you could respond to it in such a mature and concise manner. What's the point in lambasting others grammar if your own is not perfect? I don't claim mine is, but then I don't make threads about it either, do I?

No but your punctuation is still shit, so it seems pointless to go lambasting others grammatical woes.

i missed out a capital letter and the odd full stop boo hoo, i don't give a ****. it was about the spelling and i was just wondering, so if you don't want to answer the question, i suggest you find someone else to bother about puctuation and grammar.

Well, there's no answer really, beyond the fact that some people have a **** way of spelling things like you have a **** way of punctuating things. Would it have been productive of me to make a thread wondering why people don't start sentences with a capital letter? Probably not. I'm sure like you that the people who make these mistakes also 'don't give a ****'.
