Personally, I find it hard to read when people misspell things… I don’t know why, but my brain just works that way.

Frankly, it frightens me how appalling some people’s grammar and spelling is.

I have the advantage of having a spell checker built into my browser that immediately highlights any spelling errors I type, but on this website, there is a premium to being the first to answer a question and having to rush to submit a response can make one prone to folly.

I know spelling can be bad here .. I rarely use the spell checker because it hardly ever works for me. That may have something to do with the slowness of my Internet connection.

I guess just because it’s quicker to just hit submit rather than proofreading.

I always use spell check and have my computer check my spelling as I type. I feel like I’m one of the few younger people who actually use proper grammar and spelling!

Many young ones are using a “new” short hand that they use while texting. It is not really incorrect spelling, it is easy to learn.

I would not accept it in the classroom.

I am not going to worry too much about its use in a medium as in formal as this forum.
