I see your point, but as somebody who corrects spelling and grammar for a living (I teach German to English translation), I find it difficult to simply overlook such mistakes, unless it's obvious that the poster is dyslexic.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
I don't pay any attention to grammar and spelling on a discussion board. And if I do notice a mistake I sure won't point it out because I think to do so is petty and rude. Besides, English is not the first language of everyone who posts, and some use translation programs, or spell based on how the word sounds. And then there are those of us who are dyslexic.
All that matters is that I can understand what the person is saying or asking. Grammar and spelling doesn't affect that in most cases.
