Before this goes the way of the buffalo, I want to point out that this thread was directed at those guilty of near complete unintelligibility:
[quote Pharticus]When a post must be reread three times (to mentally fill in the punctuation that doesn't exist) in order to comprehend the poster's meaning, there's a problem. [/quote]
Then I followed up with an encouragement to all to strive for improvement. (How DARE I be so callous?)
The negative reactions, however, intimate that I'm out for blood if I catch a run-on sentence. Why the hyperbolic, knee-jerk reaction? Why ignore the context of my post? I'm not a presidential candidate. []
I am not troubled by simple typos. I am not pulling my non-existent hair out over phonetic spellings. And I never said that. Yet, somehow, that appears to be many of your interpretations...
Perhaps I just wasn't aware of the modern epidemic of keyboards out there missing those keys in the general vicinity of K, L, and M... Forgive my insensitivity.
P.S. If you use the Firefox browser, you have the option to have it running spellcheck in realtime as you type. It's wonderful.
