Grammar & Spelling - Is it important? Read post first

**Hudelf** · 10-19-2007, 12:26 AM

As I've been perusing the forums (and, well, the internet in general), I've noticed a bit of a split between A) People that either don't care about good grammar/spelling or that simply don't have it and B) People that think these are of the utmost importance, especially online.

Personally, I think it is extremely important to be mindful of grammar and spelling, since these are really the only things others have to judge you on. While what you say may be intelligent and insightful, if it's written in l33t5p34k, I'm not going to give it nearly as much credit. To me, it comes off as not only immature, but also very lazy.

Thoughts and opinions? (NO FLAMING OR ARGUING)
