I don't want to sound like a dickfudge, but could some of you take a little more time to make sure your sentences don't look like a bunch of slightly organized sludge? I mean, it's not like you really need to post in 30 seconds, do you? I know, that I too make mistakes and often don't notice them until later, but try to at least get rid of the major ones, please.

I give a flying squirrel crap about spelling and grammar as long as it's easy to see what the writer is trying to say.

Yes, I know, some people have problems el grande with that too.

I'm with Safmoor on this one. Though I sometimes/often make spelling or grammar errors, it really does bug me when somebody posts in a manner such as this...

Surely it doesn't take that much effort to at least stick in a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence?

I think you guys are right. It is annoying...though if I can read it I really dont mind. There are a lot of younger Dinker's here anyway.

The "real" question is why am I the only one to sign my messages with proper etiquette toward the reader?

Very Sincerely,

I've taken five years of French. Today, I handed my teacher a short essay, which I'd tried to write without any errors. She found a mistake at least every other sentence. My point is, writing in another language ain't easy. I probably spent twenty-odd minutes writing two paragraphs, and someone from france would struggle to understand what I was saying.

On the other hand, I often have trouble understanding other Americans' French, much more than Frenchmens'. So some effort, especially upon the part of native speakers, might go a long way here.
