As English is my native language I find it easy to make sure I have used proper spelling and/or grammar. I am however human and make my share of mistakes. I do not use the preview function when posting, so once I submit, I have no chance to fix my mistakes :) I am not bothered when others have errors unless they are so bad that I cannot figure out what they are talking about. Have a great day. - Mike

Actually working on these discussion sites my grammer has gotten better. My spelling still sucks but I keep trying. I do not use spell check or any thing like that but I probably would if the site had it. I do know that when I want to make a point and I can not figure out how to spell something I do look it up and then continue to write. Some times a thought can get lost when the words are spelled wrong. I also find that my typing speed is getting better as well. However, I always could type fast I just had a B accuracy rate. I hope my accuracy is getting better. I always say practice makes perfect. So keep writing and posting and your grammer and spelling and speed will definately get better. I do not think that misspelled words or bad grammer should make you stop posting.

I SPEAK English, but if I'm tired, I have to watch my typing. I have posted some words I didn't recognize at 3 a.m.! LOL!

As i notice here in my lot some people use the texting type.. Well for me it doesnt matter if they are good in their grammar or wrong spelling wrong ..it doesnt matter what matter is how you undertsnad things here and how you participate in the discussions. And how you give advise to people..I mean fro me strangers you just met through the net.

dear anuj291, i agree with you, espcially if i see where i spelled a word wrong, as a typine error. like 2 day i kept typing like instead of life, but i didn't feel like going back and correcting it after the preview. but, one thing i do though is if i'm writing a word right at that time and i'm unclear of the proper spelling, i glance at my dictionary real quick. this helps me personally, because it instills in my brain, the correct spelling of a word, and then in the future, maybe i'll remember how to correctly spell that word. it's kind of fun for me to do that, i guess it's a little hobby like thing of mine, but i don't think spelling matters so much on this site, as long as you can present your discussion so it can be understood as you intended.
