Loose = Not Tight

well that is your choice, but you do not have to make peole feel like crap, just because you dont like the way they spell!! I admit that i can get confused by the way peolple write too, but i am not going to just dismiss there question/problem because there grammar and spelling is wrong!! That is just rude!!

For example: someone is upset cause their dog ran away, are you going to dismiss that thread becaus they spelled something wrong or had a page long paragraph, because they wrote the thread while they were upset???

No, we would not denigrate someone for making mistakes when upset, but asking you, in the course of your normal posts, to pay attention to things like punctuation and grammar is not done in a spirit of meanness. I ask that people at least make some effort in spelling and grammar out of common courtesy for people trying to read and understand their posts.

The issue of hugely long paragraphs is legitimate - it actually makes it physically painful for people to read, so they will often give up partway through. The eye needs visual cues - and white space - to help it process information. I'm not making this up, it's a scientifically proven fact.

Oh yes Karen I understand, and yes it bothers me too. But some people cant help it! Like for instance my mother is Dyslexic, and i am not about to comment about how she spells or wtites, all i am saying is that it does hurt some peoples feelings.

I do my best to spell correctly and such, but sometimes you just dont notice. and many times i have to go back and edit my post.
