I'll admit straight away that I cannot spell. If I didnt have my spell checker for my work, I wouldnt be in college or working for the newspaper here. I've never been good at it and with the advent of computer spell check, there hasnt been alot of initiative to learn.
However, on forums I feel that I can get at least a little lazy. I tend to only have a few minutes to write a post, so I leave off some punctuations in my rush. The one thing that annoys me is the lack of paragraphs some people have. Separate your ideas so
I can understand and follow your line of thought. It is very hard to follow if you seem to put everything in one paragraph.
I'm not English major, but I have a deep love for philosophy and expressing your ideas in an argument that makes sense. I dont really care if you know you're right in an argument if you cant convince me through your writing. Here on these forums, lots of arguments are being made and some are downright horrible. It is not because your ideas are bad, but the presentation of them is not enough to convince readers. Learn to argue and speak your mind well and you might be suprised at how many arguments you can win.
