Case in point I guess?Wink

I spot a grammatical error!

It could just mean you type really fast and disregard checking what you write altogether, but for the most part I think really poor spelling just shows someone's inability to use a keyboard.Wink

So I guess in order to answer the poll, I'll have to go with... *closes eyes and chooses one randomly*... Are you talking about Hitler the 1st, or Hitler the 2nd?Geek

Yes, the "edit" button is there, Spell Check is easy to use, etc. (I am thinking of those whose first language is English, of course.) To me, not even bothering to try to get it right (or at least edit a bit) is being disrespectful to yourself, and to your readers & fellow music fans. Do you care about how you are perceived? (If you don't think how you write affects the reader's perception of you, you are wrong.) We communicate with text here, and there are rules and conventions to facilitate better communication via text. (Really, why write lots, if you write very poorly?)
 
Or do all those "rulz" suk?
 
 
Just wondering, BTW -- no particular reason....
