IT'S vs ITS is the most egregious grammatical error on AT at the moment.

I actually don't know this one that well. I think I usually just go to 'its' by default because its shorter.

On the internet, you are judged by the words you type. You can't respect someone who has never mastered the basics of writing/spelling.

I agree. And while it isn't important here in the nursery, it is in forums where credibility is important, like FS&T or P&N. I would be reluctant to enter into a deal with someone to whom literacy had such a low value. How could I trust the description of the product? Or trust that the seller would put more effort into packaging than clearly expressing him- or herself?

You're prolly right. It's rediculous that people don't know the difference.

You happened to use you're and it's correctly in that sentence. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you didn't even know it since the rest of your post is barely intelligible?

... jeez, I thought the wink made it clear enough.

"prolly" and "rediculous" are two of my pet peeves
