Don't worry RSpeed tycoonfreak, your English is perfectly fine. :)

What is embarrassing is people who have English as their first language, yet cannot type it properly, like maley.

what also is annoying is when they dont use capitalization or punctiation it makes sentences like this one quite hard to read dont you think i mean i even have to do my best to forget about caps and punctation

I dont have a problem reading or writing stuff like that and i can tell you why most of the people that do it do it.

It is because of dyslexia. Some of course are lazy. But in 90% of the cases, the people that choose to skip the punctuation is dyslexians, that cannot get it right anywyas. You should learn to read it, becuse it's not hard, just use common sense. I've never had a priblem with it, and that's referring to like 500 character SMSes on important topics. You try asking the people that write like that _politely_ wehter tey have Dyslexia. The answer is wery likely yes. Some of course alre lazy though. But dyslexia is no reason to be looked down upon. I kinda think Marley had that... Of course, it's not a exuse not to try.

Hmm... I did not think about it, so I suggest Dyslexians put in their siggie or sth they got Dyslexia. Sorry, I might have been wrong a few times about this...

A note in their siggy is not a bad idea, but two things that makes the not allways doable is one: All dyslexians is not open about it an two: Dyslexians should not have to allways live with their problem like that, they should just be treated like normal people, not as some special poor breed.

Equation begins when everyone stops feeling like they have to give permition for peoples "oddities" - That goes for genders, gay people, dyslexians etc etc...

I don't think that people that don't capitalize or punctiate are always dyslexians, most of them are just lazy. MOST people just use dyslexia as a bad excuse because they are too incompotent to type proper sentences.

Hurrah, I won! I'd like to thank my parents, my dog, my academic family, the Union, whatever Russian invented vodka, and of course, myself.

I'll be signing autographs for the next ten minutes, hurry!
