    I have been on message boards for years, not so much former Witness boards, but political or even just general topics. In so doing, something always happens and I wonder if I am the only one who finds this annoying.

    You type something, perhaps a topic or a response and you don't think it is all that important to check all spelling and make sure grammar is perfect. After all, it's not school anymore and we are not being graded. You look back at your thread, hoping to see some responses that answer the question or comment on your thoughts. You scroll down and see these good responses and think about ways you can respond and then there it is ....

    SOMEONE CORRECTING YOUR SPELLING OR GRAMMAR

    ... all I can say is "annoying!" I know my spelling and grammar is not perfect and often I think faster then my hands type and that leads to missing parts or really bad spelling. It happens, I accept that and I know others do it too. So when I see it in other's post, I know that was not the topic at hand and choose to just respond to what they were saying and not step up on to my high horse and point out the spelling and grammar errors. Although, there have been some grammar and spelling errors that make me laugh, like when they spell a word to mean one thing and it's actually a word that means something completely different ... example; once I saw a post reading something about the "organization" and it said the "orgasm." I thought that was funny, but did not say anything as the person did not ask to be spell and grammar checked.

    Am I alone in finding this annoying?

    yes its annoying! its been 25 years or more since i had to do a freaking spelling test!

    i'd rather see misspellings than " R " and "U" and "4" type of writings.

    Yeah, they should get over it. Its the internet; a very casual setting. We're not here to write essays. Just here for support and blow off some steam.

    No, actually she says she thinks faster then she types. I think she meant to say she thinks faster than she types.
