There are far too many posts with horrible grammar and spelling. It’s getting ridiculous.

I can’t be alone in noticing this, right?

    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.
