I have to say something more here. I know it will end up in more -rep but thats life.
Now i will use myself as an example here.
I left school at the age of 16 to start a trade and have worked it ever since. I have had no need for grammar or spelling largely in my career so this is something that has gone unchecked in my life. When i was 16 and at school i was failing english anyway.
Has it ever effected my life? Only in situations like this. Online forums. Beyond that not at all. Generally in my life 99.9% of my interaction with others is face to face or on the phone or whatever so grammer is not important at all.
Should i be judged on this? Its a support forum not a english language forum.
I honestly think this takes away from the forum. Sure make a sub forum to help people who want to learn correct grammer. I would agree with that. But to expect good grammer is too much.
Its a SUPPORT forum. We are supposed to support each other.
Anyway thats about the end of my rant on this subject.
