What do you think of....

None of the above, I generally just ignore it.

English is not the first language of an awful lot of people in the world, and even of those for whom it is, there are many different regional varieties.

Languages evolve too; the English of today is very different to what it was 500 years ago, and appreciably different to what it was even just 100 years ago. Even txt spk is becoming a part of the living language and you can either accept that that's the way things happen or not.

Finally, not everybody is a good typist so some form of shorthand is quite acceptable in many cases.

If Mh Spelled incorrectly, I think I wouldn't take him as serious as I do. That goes for everyone else. I mean, It is alright when you are instant messaging or chatting, but when you are posting on a forum, which can be globally seen, Then you should at least Try to spell. I personally think that people with good grammar, are a bit more mature. I will state that this is not true in some cases, But that is what I feel personally.

To be honest I think that anybody who gets worked-up over this kind of crap must have a distinct lack of real problems in their life.

also, another thing I noticed, is that it's a lot more enjoyable to read things using correct grammar, but that's getting a little bit off subject


anyways, usually it is very easy to differentiate when English isn't someones native language, from when they just use incorrect grammar

for example, misspelling a word, like flat out misspelling, lets say you typed the keys wrong like this "I liek chicken", then you can tell the person knows how to spell it, even sees the little squiggly red line under it, but doesn't care to correct it.

however, if usually lazy people, however lazy they may be, always at least try to write out the words, so if a word is missing, it might mean that English is not native to them.

example- well, I can't really think of an example right now XD
