Punctuation & grammar matter, but not so much in OPP. "Then," and, "than," are used interchangeably and I may be the last living English speaking person who actually knows the difference between Affect and Effect. I wish I could correct some of the misspelled titles for some threads because it makes me slightly more nuts than I normally am to see them each time a I scroll down the list. "Sigh!" The poor lads & lasses aren't being taught English speech, grammar, spelling OR punctuation in school anymore so what can we expect?

So how does the effect of improper punctuation affect you? Basic chemistry lesson; you can change a verb, "affect," into a noun, by adding or deleting electrons from it's atomic structure. This process is known as ionization, and turns "affect" into an "affect ion," or affection.

I might add that competence in spelling can also save one from embarassment

This, again :?: Accepting the reality of poor grammar/writing sk**ls on the OPP is not the same as approving of them. But, we all fall short at times, so I have learned to let it pass. Unless, of course, the errors have a direct effect upon the meaning or possible interpretation of the comment/post. Then, it is reasonable to question for clarification's sake. :thumbup:

Those who just haven't the education to know better, I can overlook. And as you said, sometimes many of us just get lazy and fail to use punctuation, or fail to properly punctuate. Spelling is another thing I can overlook when I know that the person has minimal education.

Some people are convincing proof that man descended from apes. Some obviously did not descend very far. Everyone makes typos. Some people seem to make little else. I still hold some sort of record, I believe. I was informed by one poster that I was a "rases wite boi, no crebity" Top that.

I haven't been ignorant enough to top that since age three or four.

I don't know whether to be angered or amused when some peckerhead tries to insult me and can't even spell the insult properly. I was called an ignerant cretan also. Yes, it was spelled like that.
