Also guys: Spelling! Ist rly herd to raed psots tped lik dis. And leet, oh, don’t even get me started. I’m in no position to say this, but… The rise of cell phones and “txt” shorthand has really declined our sense of English. What started as a way to shorten and abbreviate long SMS messages became the norm for pretty much anyone on the internet. Things like “LOL”,“teh”, and so on have really started to get on my (and a lot of other people’s) nerves. Please guys, save everyone’s eyes and brain and at least try to use good spelling and grammar. I don’t feel like deciphering another post… ---

That may sound a bit arrogant although I don’t mean for it to sound that way. The reason I do not feel too much guilt is because I endeavor to be certain everything is as correct as I am able to make it be before I post.

Whenever these kinds of matters come up my mind immediately gravitates to one poster in particular who seems to struggle in this area, perhaps your mind does as well. Here’s where I believe we must proceed with much caution, concern and tolerance. If an individual is truly doing their best, if the use of proper punctuation and grammar have for one reason or another eluded their grasp, we must approach such a person with understanding and compassion. At that point we simply do our best to work through their posts and come to the greatest comprehension we are able of what they are intending to communicate. If any individual feels singled out and regarded as simpleminded by the rest of us, we are failing to accomplish a foundational objective of the forums by sidelining someone who otherwise is an engaging and pleasurable contributor here at YYE.

I feel smarter just by reading your post. ---

I honestly don’t care if people use correct grammar or puncuation. It reflects who they are, and sometimes people are lazy or rush things. If I can read it, I don’t mind. If I do stumble upon an eloquently written post I will assume that the author is intelligent, and they earn my respect. ---
