But spelling does help, so you can understand better, but the main point is
to understand what they are trying to say.

QUOTE

Also again, I find irony in this laughable grammar you keep using -- "I'm just saying that a lot of people on the internet talk understandable and a lot of people talk not understandable." You claim people need to learn to spell and justify your complaint with the fact you can't understand them, but the same goes for people who can't use grammar properly. Horrible grammar makes people as hard to understand as bad spelling does. So why don't we just discuss bad grammar while we're at it?

Still applies.

Anyway, this is just a simple topic asking if you think it would be better if everybody spoke in understandable English. This is a good topic, and a fair idea, I think we should get back on topic. --------------------

Sometimes also during the statements. :/

ANYWAY, Grammar and Spelling are not everything, but one should at least try to spell and type as close to the official grammar and spelling rules as they can.

If one makes a few mistakes from time to time, nobody will kill them for that, but constant bad spelling, especially when it's on purpose, is quite annoying.

Like: your instead of you're and its instead of it's. I also can't tolerate complete lack of punctuations. EDIT: Also posts that are just pure unreadable (messy word order).
