Spelling and Tense... Language decay on ATS

I take great pride in my posts and always check them for grammar errors, mistakes are made by everyone though.

Let fools be fools, and let the intelligent...gloat

well in school i always use proper english, but on the web to save time i just use short terms
cud
wud
b
b4
ne
etc etc

but i know there are some picky peeps so i try to use
could
would
be
before
any

I guarantee members will move along elsewhere if ATS becomes an SMS-fest...

i have more tolerance with people with problems with the english language when they are speaking. because this way i can tell whether or not they really have a problem with the language.

i don't have much tolerance for bad writing. i can't tell whether or not they are doing it on purpose or not.

..... don't you mean criticize?
Since we're talking about spelling and all.
And dialectually speaking, the proper British spelling is indeed criticise.

Did you mean 'dialectally'?

Touche.
I hadn't taken my meds when I wrote that. Does that count for anything?
