I hope we don't see any flame wars resulting from this thread. While the level of education in this country with regards to the proper use of the English language is lacking, a person's intelligence level shouldn't be derived from the number of spelling and grammar errors they make.

On this same thread though, here is a rather interesting quote regarding spelling:

"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, olny taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pcleas. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by ilstef, but the wrod as a wlohe."

Makes you think how the brain perceives and interprets words.

Everyone makes mistakes in spelling and grammar, lets not crucify them for simple oversights.
