This period is unnecessary.

Missing a period?

They may know grammar but nothing of graphic design

Can't say I agree with Bruce's flowchart.
One of the main reasons I find the Cellar home is that it is populated by literate people. Yes, we all make mistakes - I find hideous ones in my old posts all the time (serves me right for being vain enough to reread them) - but there are very few genuine mis-spellings or grammatical howlers.

Also, people are pretty much laid back in pointing them out, unless someone is being insufferable. We are happy to accept our dyslexic posters; the question "Do you understand the post?" applies very much so in those situations. We're adult enough to understand that poor spelling does not equal low intelligence.

I know now and then people will come around and all us cliquey and intolerant. But even without being in the Treehouse Club I don't think that is true. Decent place, indecent people. Damn, off to the tagline thread for a love-in.

What the hell kind grammar is that? :p::lol2:

Be-typoed. One C would fix it.

I can't say I'm much bothered by grammatical errors, or indeed spelling mistakes. As long as it is clear what the poster is trying to communicate, it matters not a jot to me.

Language is communication: if it successfully communicates what it is intended to communicate it has served its purpose just fine.

youre pants on fire

No they ain't!

I'm not saying I don't notice these things. I do. From time to time they may even jar a little when reading something. But overall, I honestly am not bothered. I don't think it's that big a deal. As long as someone gets across what they're trying to say then why would it be?

but but but what I said was you are pants when you're on fire. :p: ;)

Din't not.

I think that rant runs through my head when PMS and pre-menopause meet :P

PMS and pre-menopause meet? You're lucky you don't spontaneously combust. :haha:
