Seriously, I've read a lot of posts, just today, from people with this problem. I have to read posts over 5 times just to understand what they're saying

. Typos I can understand, but don't you usually read over your post before you post it? Now, it's really sad that there are other people who seriously have problems with the English language. Most of us here have a real talent and interest for computers. There are a lot of technical terms and concepts that we all have to understand. Now, wouldn't you think to have the brain capacity to comprehend such technical concepts that we would have at least mastered the English language?

"I usually bought my stuff from Googlegear..."

"im i the only one?"

"its the one with no fan jest heatsink"

ARGGH!!! I had to rant after I've just about had it reading this round of new messages. God bless all of you who use punctuation and correct grammar! :D

hmm..sometimes people just type too fast..or they think too fast to be able to type correctly.

sometimes..when I get typos..and i'm too lazy..i don't bother correcting it.

I don't use proper punctuation...i like using dots, as you can see...

but I try to spell correctly and I TRY for good grammar...but seriously..does it really matter? I mean...as long as you get what the person's trying to say..it's all good!

At least you use punctuation. Some people don't even put periods between sentences, not to mention typing in all lowercase letters. You can't even tell where sentences begin or end.
 

I make typos sometimes. I should make an effort to preview my posts before posting. However, when I do realise my errors, I endeavour to rectify them. There are times I decide not to edit my post (for instance, if someone responded to my post already).

Now, please explain what you couldn't understand in the following statement:

"I usually bought my stuff from Googlegear..."

Yes, it's informal, but the message seems clear to me. "Stuff" would refer to the type of items discussed in the thread from which the statement was derived.

"How do I run duel moniters?"

That one always drives me nuts. THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING EACH OTHER.

i rarely have a problem with reading posts that are not correctly capitalized and/or with poor spelling/grammar. i don't know what the big deal is. they are not that hard to read.

formally i'd use correct capitalization and take care in grammar and spelling but i just don't feel like that in a casual environment such as this.

The only one that drives me crazy is YOUR. When someone says "your an idiot", it's comical and annoying at the same time.
