Because I didn't say, "everyone", I said "the largest percentage", which is true. There are many many more people on this forum who obscure worthless, inane statements with bad grammar and spelling than those who do so when they have something worthwhile to say.

Yes, I can usually buy a vowel or two and throw it in the right place. But if the person who really wanted to communicate something to me had checked their spelling in the first place, I would believe more readily that they actually wanted to know the answer, which would lead me to give a more thoughtful response back. If the question looks like it took two seconds worth of thought to come up with, why should I spend ten minutes writing out a well-reasoned response?
All that said, I do understand that there are many learning and physical disablilities that can impede communication. However, I do not think that people who have the capability to express themselves should get a free pass to be lazy because someone else in the world has a disability.
