    I must admit that I'm a bit of a stickler for correct spellings; in fact I often check the spellings of some words before I commit a post to be sent. Punctuation, on the other hand, I'm not entirely sure about and thus it may, or may not, be grammatically correct in any of my posts.

    However, I'm not such a stickler to require all members to be able to spell correctly as I realise that, for many of them, English is not their first/primary language. So long as I can understand what they are saying, I'm not too bothered. I do draw the line, however, at Text Speech. This is perfectly fine where it belongs, but for me it doesn't belong here.
    its weird when i post from my phone i have to recheck my spellings ,cuz i automatically use txt speech when typing from the phone

    I don't get mad, but I do roll my eyes when people _swear_ by a certain operating system. They're different tools for different tasks, this is not a religion .

    That's OK, Julian. We know you're weird; after all, you do state that you're a " 'Lil bit cabbaged "!

    I don't get mad, it's not good for my digestion.

    However, there are things in life that make me slightly peeved.

    For instance, people who originate from north of the Humber.

    South of the Wash.

    And/or West of the Trent.

    Everybody else seems OK.

    The posts that bother me the most are those where OP uses all small caps and no punctuation marks, so I'm not sure where one sentence ends and the next begins.

    A contest I have to login to Facebook to enter.
    Emails saying I have won a lottery.
