Dude, I'm sure you can just as easily type "are" as "r." The first letter of every sentence is capitalized and a period or question mark goes at the end of the sentence.
You should use Mozilla Firefox. It has a built-in spell checker that underlines misspelled words as you type! It is brilliant.
Edit: On the internet some bad grammar and misspellings is excusable to a large extent, but when every word is misspelled and there aren't even clear sentences with subjects and predicates, it is not easily deciphered.

So, is it your opinion that ATS should have a policy of exclusion for people who are Dyslexic, or below a certain level of formal education, English language and spelling capability?
Please avoid using "TXT Messaging Shorthand" for words when posting on AboveTopSecret.com and AbovePolitics.com, such as "4" for the word "for" or "u" for the word you. Common "Internet Slang" acronyms such as "LOL" and "ROFLMA" are acceptable, but should still be used sparingly.

This is a discussion forum, all the richer for contributers from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. The op is holding a reasonable enough discussion, on a topic which is obviously interesting enough that others are participating. Others, including myself are managing to follow what the op is saying. I find the topic to be valid and relevent in these difficult times.
Your post was about grammar and spellchecking. Off topic! Instead of negative criticism, learn social skills before coming on to a social networking site.
