...as did one of my workmates once - name Brian, misspelled Brain.... He was never allowed to forget it!

After a few trawls of whats being said over the past few days, it is staggering the number of people - mainly mid teens to late thirties (going by the photos of the posters) that cannot spell to save their lives.

While i am aware of txt-spk, this is just incredibly bad spelling of normal grammar. My header being a very good example of a lot of it.

So, because i could actually understand what these people were trying to say, does it matter that the spelling was all over the place?

In answer to the original question.

If you are dyslexic then no it does not.

If your not dyslexic then yes it does, to use text speech for writing emails or on forums is very ignorant. I am that anal about it I don't answer texts using it, much to annoyance of my kids however, they now do not text speech me. Winner.

btw, I do not get het up over misspelling, there is a difference.
