It just makes things easier to read if they're written using the correct words and stuff.
That's all.

I do apologise Brayn
It appears that i wasn't aware that i was entering a spelling test when i sat down to post my erudite wisdom on the internet. If the meaning of my post is obfuscated by too many poorly spelled words i beg your forgiveness from the bottom of my illiteracy. That out of the way can we have comments based on the content of the post rather than the spelling?

Sorry, is this a touchy subject for you?
It really does help when things are spelled correctly though.

touchy subject?
No not really. I just don't see why people need to point out a few minor spelling errors. If it makes you feel any better blame the government for educating me so badly.

andythepieman, you need to change your tune, here let me help you...
BraynDedd, thanks for proof reading that post. Being creative is the hard bit, thank god we have guys like you to tidy up after.

You see andythepieman, I too have a whole bunch of internet monkeys proof reading my posts on the internet. They are not very good at communication, despite knowing how to spell the words. They seem rude when they give corrections. Some feel power when they do it. Don't let that get to you. Just point out that they are proofreading posts on the net for fuck sake!.

- All corrections to the above to be posted by my proofreading internet monkeys.

I have gif-read your post
and decided that certain of the gif frames are changing too quickly to be read.

You say 'proofreading' as if people deliberately go around carefully inspecting for errors.
The implication being that said errors are hard to find. I would counter that most of the time, especially if a post is full of them, they're just too blatantly fucking obvious to be missed.

I didn't realise my post was full of errors
The point i was making is spelling mistakes or not my post is perfectly readable. I don't always have time to run through posts to check that every word is correct. What do people who point out these mistakes think is going to happen? That someone will gasp in admiration at their awesome command of the English language? Or is it more likely they will simply think "what a tedious tit" and move on?
