Re: The correct way to respond to misspelling and grammar
These boards are for open communication.
Communication is an attempt to convey information, and gain an understanding between the sender and the recipients.
Grammar and spelling are nothing but the rules by which we gain that understanding.
When people decide not to follow those rules they run the risk of not being understood, and the information failing to be transferred. Since this writing is the only information we have to judge the writer, we may come to believe that that person is less intelligent (be that true or not, it will be the view of those who cannot understand his writing). Remember, you will be judged not only by what you write, but by how you write because it is all we have to go on.
The above, as normal, is JM(NS)HO.
