You know the ones, you've seen them and had your eyes almost pop out of your head while trying to read their posts...
I Dont Know. Maybe They Were Born With An Extra Pinkie?

I am just saying that you should practice what you preach. We all make errors, just as I did in my last post, but you intentionally ignore the most basic rules of writing/grammar. It's not your grammar that bothers me, it's the hypocritical nature of your posts.

yes, i understand what you're saying. i guess my point is, that intentionally refusing to use my shift key (because it takes too much time) is different than unintentional mispellings. I KNOW im not using my shift key but maybe other posters don't realize they are mispelling words (which is why some of us would like to help them become better spellers).

web etiquette allows for use of lower case letters, however, overuse of the caps key is frowned upon as rude BECAUSE IT RESEMBLES SHOUTING.

I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to grammar and typos on city-data. I've done plenty of proofreading, copyediting, and writing in my time. I'm just here to have fun and get my ideas across.
