Grammar and spelling are formalized ways of formating a wide variety of information. By using proper grammar and spelling you reduce the chance that your message will be misunderstood or ignored as noise. You also come across as at least as educated and intelligent as you really are, rather than as an ignoramus who could not communciate a simple thought even if by chance he should have one.

While this is a bit off topic for this thread, the attempt is being made to correct the behavior of somebody whose valid inputs are often ignored because they are hard to decipher. It is appropriate for a gentle rebuke to occur here where the error occured. Some of us who follow this thread are expressing our desire that communication in it remain clear to those of us who are accustomed to speaking and writing standard American English. It seems to me that computhief263 is merely trying to save on keystrokes at the expense of clarity. This is a disservice to his readers and causes us to lower our opinion of his educational attainments.

Now that at least three of us have made our objections known, we can drop the subject and return to weightier matters...

I hope that sounds really stuffy, I was trying.
