    Some people just dont know how to spell. Its my pet peeve too. But no one made you the grammar police. Ever heard this saying before, Don't sweat the small stuff. Seriously. Let it go.

    Grammar is for loosers.

    Well, since we're on the generalization bandwagon, I see that you're living up to the stereotype!

    Grammar is the difference between knowing your s--t and knowing you're s--t!

    Did someone miss the day they covered humor in class? .-.

    The only time grammar REALLY matters on these forums is in the title of your topic and when you are making fun of someone else's grammar. .

    (or if you are telling stories about your husband brother).

    (Also if you don't want to look stupid).

    Failed the exam too... I was too busy actually learning to write properly, so as to be understood correctly. You see, I'm under this strange belief that if you can't use the correct words and correct spelling, then the meaning gets lost. And since communication is really about getting the meaning across, not just the words, it seems somewhat important.

    I can grasp how someone might feel it's not important, but unless you're writing a personal journal, anything written is really intended as communication.

    I apologize for misunderstanding that you intended sarcasm rather than displaying poor spelling skills. See how it gets confusing sometimes? No body language, no tone of voice and therefore, only written words to go by to decipher the meaning of your message. I guess that's why grammar and spelling are a little bit important!

    I'm a fan of good grammar but can't stand the grammar police. Hmmmmm.

    Sometimes I have trouble spelling d-e-f-i-c-i-t.

    I have an English degree.
