Bad grammar and incorrect usage bugs me more than spelling, although as turrbo notes, this is an informal BB. And according to Scott's stats, we do have 15% of folks from outside the U.S., including those who use British English instead of American English, or who use English as a second language.
Still, since I basically write and edit for a living, I do wish people would remember the difference between
your and you're
there and their
adapt and adopt
to, too and two
and about a dozen others.
But then again, we all manage to commmunicate with each other and few posts are so poorly written that they don't make sense.
Still, it all does make me wonder about people's written communications skills. I know my own posts are not perfect, especially ones I just dash off, but being able to put together a few grammatically correct sentences without spelling errors is pretty useful in school and business.
IMHO, anyway.
