Is it just me, or are there more dweebs posting that you have miss spelt a word in your post, this is supposed to be a car based forum, and if the question is something like has anybody used xx trye on a ford zzz, do they realise how boring they are,

Has anyone used what? Try on a Ford? I can't understand what you're asking.

Is it just me or do people think it is acceptable to use poor English these days and just shrug it off ?

What's worse is getting verbally assassinated when an individual tries to word a post properly and maybe one typo gets through.

You're telling me that's ok?

Ridiculing a poster for writing a generally reasonably written post containing a single typo (the OP is a fair example of this) is just being picky in my opinion.

However, asking for advice by writing a post with misplaced punctuation, no paragraphing, text speak and blatant laziness deserves everything it gets.

Proper communication is still a valuable skill.

I don't see many people correcting spelling mistakes and typos. I have started taking the piss out of dweebs not bothering to check autocorrect on their Pterodactyls, though. My S3 seems to be fine with suggesting the right Wombats.

If a mistake creates a funny or confused post it's worth a punt otherwise who cares

[cyprinis]

I love that you misspelled misspelled.

I thought this was going to be about insults that make you laugh. I've spent the day chuckling at the boss (jokingly) call someone a quim. Disappointed.

Fully agree that a single mis-spelled word in an otherwise well-written message is wholly excusable.
