I've backed off from my tendencies to call out the bad spelling, poor punctuation, improper sentence structures, clumsy manners in writing and other errors in writing that the members on car forums often have.
It isn't because they have improved and are now writing properly, it is because I've been scolded by moderators for doing so even when I've tried to do it without being insulting.
It is annoying to read stuff like that from people that are either ignorant or lazy. I've had to just put members on IGNORE the first time I see them writing poorly. It helps me resist calling them out and getting in trouble for it.
We all agree that this isn't English class here. Most of the time we overlook a few typos, a misspelled word or a lack of capital letter at the first word of a sentence but some people really push the limits.
I ask you....Hasn't anyone ever mentioned to you that poor writing skills reflect upon how people look at you? If you don't care what others think of you, do you care that your lack of proper English is annoying to read?
People will scroll by and avoid helping you if you don't respect them enough to write with some level of competency.
