s'OK, wasn't worth it the effort anyway.
Quote: Geoff Mutton @ July 26 2009, 11:37 PM BSTI believe most members do make an effort.
There are plainly varying degrees of ability across the membership, so not all 'errors' should be attributed to carelessness.

That said, I consider Aaron's observations to be constructive and helpful to the individual they're aimed at - even if they're tersely delivered.
i honeslty don't think it is that important to make an effort with grammar as long as people know what the message is conveying. I like the spontenaity of writing quick replies on forums it makes it more interesting if you have to go back and check the message you have just written it makes a for thought out boring thread comment. forums should have soul.
I prefer reading something that makes immediate sense.

So if you check over what you've written it loses it's soul? It doesn't lose it's soul, it just takes a bit longer.
