/QUOTE]Im not doing this to be an as*&^^^ im just doing this to show you that everyone makes mistakes, be it at their own level. Therefore you shouldn't assume that everyone types incorrect on purpose. And ofcourse you will see more mistakes then during English class but thats also because this is an informal webforum, and not a graded essay.
You shouldn't had bothered to show me something, that I already understand by my own (and in any case, you could had found a more elegant way to do it.) Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, in what I was meaning: I am annoyed because I see that many people don't care to express themselves properly. Not knowing (like me) is one thing, but not trying at all is something, that I don't like as an attitude, whether English is someone's first language, or second . Also, there is a great distance between writing in an informal way, and completely ignoring, or worse, defying on purpose (I insist), the rules of written communication.
For me, an internet forum is a place of communication, not so much different than any other place where we meet people. While in a forum, our written expression is the sole way to show to the others something from ourselves. It's the equivalent of how we care, or don't care for our behaviour, or for our apperance , when we are in a public place, where we can see and hear each other. So my point is, that neglecting the language, is the same as neglecting a part of ourselves, and being disrespective towards the others.
