WhatUwish4: I write informally, too!
(at least I'm not a snot about it)

Yes yessss...
Never mind all that.. I'm still wondering what a preposition is.
well....I can see now, how some feel about me!! But I'm not overly concerned. I am educated....just not a good typist or speller!!

Meeeeee To!

Oo so perhaps even funnier in Danish!.. Woooo
shipoker55: But I'm CUTE!!!

NorseMedic: If a person writes you an e-mail indicating they are interested in getting to know you or correspond with you – will their level of spelling and correct use of grammar affect your interest and/or your response?
Very seldom is my answer. If they do not know English I have a lot more patience than if they do and are simply not bothered to write full sentences.
What am I saying? I never got such an email... All the mails I’ve got have been very proper indeed
That is more my view in general.
I agree to that a native English speaker do play around with their language in a way we won’t. I have also realised that a less than ordinary level of English in a text will be better understood by non native English speakers, by some reason
WhatUwish4: Meeeeee To!
too? two? ...
Which reminds me...
1. 1 was a race horse..
2.2 was 1.2
2.2 1.1. race.
and 1.1. 1. 1. 2
Getit?
Dinner is served!!NorseMedic: Thank you, thank you.
Frankly, I agree.

I don't see anything wrong with the way you write.
Like I said I don't have an urge for anything 100% perfect - I just need to see that people make an effort.

English is not my native language, so basically everything I post have been written in Microsoft Word to begin with, so the worst spelling errors and grammar mistakes are corrected before sending e-mails or posting on the forum.
In my mind I have to at least make an effort if I want people to read what I have written and sometimes I consider it disrespectful to not even try and read a letter through just once before sending, to correct any obvious errors.
Why should I use my time to respond, if the author hasn’t even made an effort to write just a slightly bit civilized?
Funnily enough especially people whose native tongue is English tend to write like they were 1st graders; and other foreigners like myself try a little harder and make fewer mistakes, probably because we have to be more conscious when using this language.
What say Thou, o’ mighty boarders of CS – am I OCD’ing or just paying attention to details?

I don't know, sometimes it does. Especially run-on sentences I can't stand (that really tells me a little about them). It depends.
WhatUwish4: Meeeeee To!
Meeee Three!

Must find a silly thread...
I hope not as I am one of the worse spellers around. Never passed it in school. I hate it when people tell me they are not even from this country and can spell better than me. I say good for you.
