I'm sure this has been mentioned already - I haven't read much of this thread, to be honest - but lazy grammar/typing annoys the living Hell out of me.
I could care less if you don't bother to capitalize, or if you make little mistakes here and there. Nobody's perfect...heck, as soon as I post this I know someone is likely going to find a mistake in here and attack me for it.
It's just laziness that pisses me off. I mean, English wasn't everyone's best subject in school. It goes without saying that not everyone uses perfect grammar at all times - nor would I dream of expecting them to. But really, how hard is it to use spell check? Most browsers have one built in for God's sake!
I totally understand if you misuse a semi-colon or leave out apostrophes, or fall into a typing trap that spell check can't catch ("if" instead of "of" for example). But really, its not that hard to make your posts coherent, at the very least. A few people around here aren't even decipherable a lot of the time...
