Angry Spelling and Grammar!
Spelling and Grammar mistakes are starting to annoy me so much!

It is fine if a member is dyslexic or something similar, that is understandable!

Being young is not an excuse, people should be able to spell by the time they are 13!

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, I know that, but when every post by a member is unledgable it gets on my nerves and is just plain ignorant!

I know people are going to say 'it doesn't matter' but it matters to me!

This doesn't apply to most of the members but there are quite a few that it does apply to!

I am not saying this to be cruel and I don't have any one member in mind, I just find it very difficult to take a post seriously if it looks like it has been typed by my 5 year old nephew!

I hate it too Jessica.

A few typos now and again is okay, but constant spelling and grammar mistakes can be terribly annoying.

I don't mind at all how people type. Well.. as long as I can read it that is all that matters. I hate it more when people nit pick at the smallest mistakes though.

You know, you may be a grammar Nazi, but your punctuation is atrocious, Jess.

I dont even know if I can give a say in this as make me out to be thick with my spelling, funny how I past all my English Exams all the time.

I hate people who dont use Capitals at the begining of a sentence.

Like that Jedfever knob.
