I think it's just quicker to type, hell it aint a test. I bet the majority of folk that use the boards are high at the time, so a lil poor punctuation aint no biggy!

Peace

I don't mind the occasional typo or missing comma, but some punctuation and spelling skills are necessary for basic written communication. Allow me to illustrate:

ok guy got me kicked outa skl should i beat his ass in skl with a can or larger then sit in his seat and drink it nah i might kick sum guys ass hes got me kicked otua skl halve his thought halve not if he werent there i would of got in that situation i defended this fucker when like 10-15 people were starting and now hes all like oh im glad richards kicked out behind my back and shit and i might go into my xskl and drag the fucker out of my old tutor room into were everyone sk8s and kick his ass so bad he dont even know how to speak srike that cant speak ever and then beat him with a can of larger and then go sit in his place in skl and drink that can wot do u rekon

OMG LOL, I havn't seen that in soo long.

Brings back fond memories.

Anyway, about grammar.. I don't tend to be pick about other people, but I insist on using good grammar myself, since it's good practice.

I agree...it doesn't really bother me, but I prefer to use it...so I get used to using it.

I do, I can't stand when people say "then" instead of "than"... It really gets to me.. and when people just generally can't spell or use grammar and shit.

every so often someone has to complain about spelling, punctuation or grammer yet i can't recall ever NOT finding the same in the complaining post!

and i too wish we had longer time to edit or remove our posts...i'm sure this is one that's now wished the enter button was never hit...

I don't much care about punctuation and grammar as long as I can understand what the hell some of the people on here talk about. Some posts are almost useless because I cannot decipher misspelled words. As long as I can understand it, it's all good.

All the more reason to use at least basic punctuation. When I am high, the last thing I want to do is read a 100 word post without a single period or comma. Makes my head hurt.
