My fb friends just think I'm an *** when I do it, some day they will learn to spell. Some of them make around 100 g a year, you would think it would be a job requirement.

While it can look silly when you misspell things, spell check has made it more common. When it’s important you can use it and fix things up. When it’s on here, or Facebook, it matters very little. There is a difference though I guess between common misspellings and people that obviously don't care or are just plain dumb.

That was to see who would be the first to jump. You win! I'm not sure if you should be proud or embarrassed.

To see who would be the first to jump.

When you're replying to a post you don't want to worry that some jerk is going to make fun of you because accidentally left out a letter on a word. It takes the fun out of posting.

I'll give a pass for unusual words or names. But, if a person misspells common words, or can't figure out the difference between "your and you're," "there, their, and they're," or "to, too, and two" they deserve to be ridiculed, unless of course they are still in 3rd grade and learning it for the first time. It's a reflection on intelligence.

Well it all depends on whether or not you want to be taken seriously. If your post is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors it tells others that you are either:

a) dumb
b) lazy (proofreading really doesn't take that long)
c) both

I think the reason some folks here jump all over posters with bad grammar is because this is a great forum and we want to be perceived as an INTELLIGENT fanbase. We're here because we love Iowa State University. We're not a bunch of bandwagon idiots.
