When posting a discussion or replying to one do you check your punctuation? To be honest, I know that I should, but I don't. I know it is very important, but it would just take far too long to read through all your posts checking punctuation and spelling.

I try to make sure that everything is spelled correctly and that I use correct punctuation. I try to remember that there are many people from foreign countries that use this site, and I never know what their knowledge of English is.
Some of the time I can't figure out what word something is supposed to be, and English is my first language. Many people on here use an Altavista translator to be able to communicate, and it won't translate if the word isn't spelled correctly(obviously), so I do it for that reason.

Oh right yeah, I see what you mean. I have pretty good spelling anyway so I don't really bother all that much. I am a professional writer and write so much that it is second nature. I suppose I shouldn't take it for granted though. Oh by the way your Siamese cat is beautiful. It looks like an old fashioned Siamese like one I had when I was a kid that lived till she was 20 and was called Samantha. I love your cat he/she looks beautiful.

Hello, Mickie!
It's great to see you back again! I thought you would never come back, hahahaha! Well, I almost never check my punctuation. I usually make sure that it is all correct while I am typing, I have never had this problem with punctuation. It was always a good point in my writting.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I am usually very relaxed when im replying to discussions. As long as i think my post is relativly coherent i leave it at that. As for spelling and punctuation i rarely check that.
