There are far too many posts with horrible grammar and spelling. It’s getting ridiculous.
I can’t be alone in noticing this, right?

When have random people on the Internet ever cared about correct spelling and grammar? In any language? I’ve been an Internet regular for over 20 years and if anything, autocorrecting smartphones have improved the average quality of spelling.
If there’s any form of argument or debate, everyone cares about the correct spelling and grammar of their opponents.
Autocorrected spelling helps with a lot, but it doesn’t help with run-on sentences that lack punctuation. Nobody’s expecting punctuation like an English teacher, but when you have to re-read a comment several times to make any sense of it, that’s simply poor communication.
I agree with all of that but some folks just aren’t clear communicators and / or English isn’t their first language so unless it’s a real workload to read, I’m generally grand with it.
I actually find the general standard of text posts on here very high. I’d bet money that the number of correctly used commas per post here is way higher than the internet average, though that’s purely anecdotal.
