I am sick to death of reading constant attacks on people who make grammatical and spelling mistakes. Do people not understand that some of these people they are attacking with their nasty cynical ways, may in fact be mentally impaired due to accidents or brain damage or perhaps they didn't get a good school education. There are so many reasons why these people may not be up to the expectations of those who see them selves as so bl00dy superior!!!!
They/we are not all chavs!! Most of us are performing as well in society as those who see themselves as so superior! We are carrying out daily jobs of equal importance and often far more importance than those who sit in posh offices behind their computers etc, so willingly belittling others without knowing anything of their background.
When people come on AB to ask for help with problems in their lives, they should not be belittled and lambasted for their spelling or grammar mistakes. This undermines their questions and can put them off asking for help again. A little empathy goes a long way!
A sticky would be good on this please!!!!!!

i don't really understand why criticizing spelling and grammar is morally inferior to criticizing text speak. Why is it different? Both render posts hard to read. Why isn't it "When people come on AB to ask for help with problems in their lives, they should not be belittled and lambasted for their text speak"?
people who talk in text speak are probably upstanding citizens, studying well in school, so why belittle them when you know nothing about their background?
People think they are bl00dy superior when they criticize how other people type. These text speak people could be mentally impaired, disabled, etc, but people make judgements without knowing :)

I don't think it's much to ask for a post to be coherent. Spelling mistakes etc are easy to overlook but a post without puntuation is difficult to understand, as is text speak. That said, if I find a post particularly difficult to grasp, I just don't bother answering it, I'm in no position to pick people up on gramatical errors!
