We should be precise with our language and encourage others to be precise too. We wouldn't be happy if a car was made with bearings a few thou' too small.

Nazis in English. Learn to spell and you won't get people complaining about having to deal with uneducated illiterates.

Do you know how many CVs I get with spelling mistakes! They go to the bottom pretty quick, as if you cannot get your own CV correct, how well can you do the job! Some people need reminding how to do it. I'm not a great speller but I have the google tool bar spelling to help. (and yes, it's OK with "speller"!)
Big words are not so bad, however the difference between no and know is what I expect my 8 year old to know.

T T T Totally agree
It's easy enough as it is, to misunderstand whats been written with correct spelling, never mind when some twit's been using bad spelling or txt speak on a text only forum,
AND as for people that don't use any puncuation at all, (not even a full stop or a sentance break) in long conversations .

Not that long ago that YOUR spelling & grammer was pretty bad. Nice to see it's steadily improving

Simple solution: Learn to spell.

The odd word here & there is fine. It's when whole sentances are peppered or butchered with bad spelling / grammer & txt speak that it becomes hard to tolerate

I was always taught that we should not start a sentence with an "And", too.
Just stirring Bob!
Who cares about an occasional slip-up, as long as it's understandable.

I think we'll find that the people that are good at it feel that it is important and the people that have skill-sets in other areas don't feel it is so important.
