The posts that I hate the most? Are posts that are like one single giant run on sentance that spans lines and lines and lines and lines of stuff and you really have no idea what they are saying because they didnt even bother to add line breaks or paragraphs let alone puncutation My eyes just totatly glaze over posts like that not because of lack of puncutation but because of lack of line breaks and just seeing that massive block of text before me makes me want to scream as I have no damn clue what they are tying to say its hard on the eyes I would rather have no or poor punctuation mixed in with appropiate line breaks than proper punctuation and grammer with no line breaks as its just much much much easier to read but you know part of the problem is the spell-check and auto-correct in word proccessors and combine that with chatting and slang on MSN really I dont expect people talking with me on MSN to take the time to spell check every single thing they say and then you see on CDs and lyrics people writing I Luv U 2 (and well anyone who actually listentes to a song called that needs to be shot in the first place) and the ooh its cool to use slang like that catches on and then all of a sudden you have a bunch of rejects who use 2 instead of two too or to and dont even know the difference between them and think that using U for you is cool and I just really want to lump them up with the people who spell boy boi god that really pisses me off
(I wonder if anyone will actually bother reading all of that)

boi=faggot
and even fags who use 'boi' to describe themselves need to get punched in the face. Not for being a fag, but for using the word boi.
*note: I'm a homo, and I still hate 'boi'

I just saw this imagine on boston.com.
It was taken at a rally to support immigrant rights, and to oppose the policy that the Bush administration wants to pass on immigration
...if they feel so strongly about staying in America, they could at least spell "terrorists" correctly

Actually, Bush has been very lax on illegal immigration whereas members of his own party are much more hawkish about it. I think Bush is lenient on that because he has always kissed ass to the Hispanic vote.

That's how far back he had to dig to find a quote that legitimizes his incoherant posting style.
I will say that critical thinking is a more important quality in posts than spelling and grammar though.
