*I'm far from perfect but most people seem to be able to understand what I write.

Oh really?! I thought I saw something awhile ago that was kind of in the same spirit. Not sure if it was your thread. Trying to keep it comical in this one. I think it is easier for people to digest and maybe pay attention if I'm not being a righteous *******. So I'll just threaten massive bodily harm if they don't comply. :tup:

Like I said in the opener it is not meant to bring about perfect grammar in all cases. The "for sell" one is what started all this.

Is that wrong?

I'm for whatever works. If this thread makes one person decide to eschew text-speak, it was worth it. :tup:

I get their, et al, confused every now and then. Spell-check is no help. :)

Unless you use it in a different sentence like...

"This is for selling."

Then it is correct.

If I don't proofread I find all kinds of **** that makes me cringe. Even then I, and many others, miss things. No big deal. I'm just pointing out the truly screwed up stuff.

i type like this on forums because this is a conversation, not some f-king document. :icon08:

you can type as neatly as you want, but if your content is :yawn: then it just signifies how :yawn: you REALLY are with accuracy.

As I said... it doesn't necessarily apply to neatness. It applies to correct usage of words. You really think I care about perfect grammar? Hell no and I don't use it often. But I do take issue when you say your breaks are having problems. Get my point? I'm pretty sure I spelled that out in the preface.

Spelling and punctuation can make a big difference in what a sentence means; for example:

I am helping my Uncle Jack off the horse.
- or...
I am helping my Uncle jack off the horse.

One capital letter changes the whole meaning.
