Default Should we all go back to school?

Am I a stuck up snob? I admit I'm not the best speller and don't always use correct spelling grammar when I'm posting but when people don't understand simple things like the difference between there, their, and they're it hurts my eyes! I understand a typo here and there but if you can't type a sentence that makes sense it makes you look like an idiot! OK, so maybe I'm just an a$$. Do SL'ers need to go back to school?

I think it needs to be expected on car forums. I try to use proper grammar as well but I'll care much less when posting on here than at work.

I must say I have to concur with this one -- Although the spelling and grammar on here does suck really bad sometimes and make me wish that there was an automatic spell check at time, I've come to expect it

I agree it's to be expected and like I said, I don't have the best spelling or grammar. Sometimes I just see something horrible and it makes me feel dumb for the person typing!

Since this website generally has 16+ year olds posting, I do expect better.

If you graduated high school, there is no excuse for not being able to form a sentence that makes sense.

Posting here isn't an effing text message. Posting as though it is, makes me feel as though the author is 13 years old.

I am no genius and barely can make sentences make sense myself. It's sad when *I* shake my head in shame for the person posting.

lol i am guilty of typing like a 3 year old. Usually i am just in a big hurry at work and goofin off while i am on a break between patients. i don't think it is always about education. the rold with this rims might be lol. but just like i am typing here i just ramble and add a period every now and then lol. working on a master's in radiologic science currently working as a CT tech. i'm the doctor's eyes when it comes to your insides that doesn't mean i have to type perfect on forums. Although, some of the time I look at my msgs and think.....damn was i drunk?
