I have serious grammar/spelling pet peeve issues. So people that intentionally mispell words and such, tend to piss me off randomly.
However I guess that's partially my fault for wishing to read whatever it is you're wrtiting in the first place.
Whatever, I'm with (insert thread starter's name here) on this one, If you can prevent it, do. Otherwise, attempt to- I mean some of us here are 17+ years of age (I know most of us range in at about 18~19) so grammar and spelling should be second nature, and if you're planning to be in the workforce anytime soon, and this comes from personal interviews of potential employees myself, The first thing (we) look for in a prospective employee is good ettiquete, spelling, grammar, basic mastery of the english language. Not a obvious 10th grade education. So try to practice stuff like this for those of you that are currently 'in-between jobs' and such, if you're looking to be hired, this could be the first thing going for you.
I completely jumped off topic there. But 'tis the truth.
