Thread: Spell it Right

I suppose it's due to my age and lack of a cell phone, but I despise "text spelling." I appreciate that it seems to be discouraged here. I don't fault the occasional spelling error and certainly in the context of a forum not all sentences need to be perfectly structured, but I'd appreciate some level of effort to make communications understandable. I consider it to be a basic courtesy to make such an effort.

Now, if I see that a post is from another country (other than England and perhaps Australia ) then I throw that opinion out the window. Given my difficulty with other languages, I have nothing but admiration for anyone capable of posting anything in a foreign language!
