| Dogs Rule said: Well, to me, the message (content) is always more important than the medium (proper use of grammar). Improper use of grammar and spelling mistakes does take away from the credibility, but if the thought that the person is trying to express is sufficiently valid, then I am willing to look beyond the mistake. (I was under a lot of pressure to get both the than and the then right in that post. I'm pretty sure I got it right.) ;) |
Yeah that's the problem. If I read someone's post and it's incoherent then I'm not going to understand what they're saying or take them seriously. I'm not suggesting everyone must ensure they use the correct spelling and grammar every post, everyone makes mistakes. I'm finding myself skipping more and more posts though because they're totally incomprehensible.
