spelling first......
then the colour of your shirt...

I can't stand spelling Nazis on forums, especially when your talking about a 4wd forums, if it was an English language forum then fair enough.
The only reason that the communication is via the written word, is because we can't talk. If we could you wouldn't be criticising the spelling mistakes but grammatical terminologies instead.
As long as I can understand the general gist of a what is written that's enough for me. Lighten up I say! It doesn't prove to much about the author either except they are bad at spelling and its simply a vice, and most people have vices.

One small vote for spelling.

Much of the value of the site is the accrued knowledge. It gets bloody difficult to search for something if the term is misspelt.

I've just re read this topic and now realise that my previous post was wrong !
This forum is not a book or a technical manual....it's a discussion. Everybody makes a positive contribution.
I may read something on here that is not clear and unlike a book, I can ask what the writer meant. Conversely, I can say something that can be misinterpreted and I can correct it or apologise. Two way communication is the key !

I absolutely concur in respect to spelling Nazi's, however if you put yourself out there and your spelling and grammar is that appalling, so much so that my nine year old son find's it hard to read, then that is a different situation (ie like my example). It has nothing to do with lightening up, as it doesn't send me stark raving mad.

It does however on occasion annoy me when some people murder the English language, and this is an English Language Forum..........about Land Rovers . Like most things, it is an opinion, right or wrong, and general opinion is that most people-70% + find spelling and grammatical errors slightly to highly annoying based on the current poll.

I would also point out that most of the thread content in this topic has been well delivered and easily understood,
