Just tossing in my two cents....I have a very hard time taking anyone seriously who can't master simple spelling and punctuation, WITH THE EXCEPTION of people who are still learning the language.

There is an extremely knowledgeable bearded dragon breeder on the kingsnake.com boards whose english is HORRID (albeit improving), but I always make an effort to understand what he's saying because odds are I'll learn from it.

However, if someone can't be bothered to type in an easily understandable way, I either will skip the post altogether, or decide that they're not worth the effort to decipher their post. I have typos in my posts frequently, but I like to think that they're spelled and punctuated enough that nobody would have trouble reading them. ^.^
