I probably posted about this on the blueboard. I do not pretend to be educated or intelligent. I am a simple man. Many topics go way, way over my head. But when I see misspelled words or general grammar bungles they stick out like a sore thumb to me and I don't know why. There. Their. They're. Someone saying that they "have a roll to play" or "this beer is smooth on my pallet". I once had a person emailing me and typing the word "diffidently". I thought it was just a typo but later in the email they typed it that way again... "I am diffidently trying that the next time". Or... "I should of tried that the last time" instead of "should have". That last one is not something you could notice if you were talking with someone... only when it's in written form do you see it. It's a sickness. It tears at my very soul and there is no prescription. I suppose we all have our demons. I have known people who are unbelievably smart, resourceful and capable and yet you cannot read their writing. I'm sure you all have examples of this.

What? You think your smarter then us? SEE!? Funny thing is, I had to edit my original post because it was auto-corrected. And I completely missed the other opportunity there!

I'm probably guilty of this kinda stuff many times. I am not that educated and my grammar sucks.

Drives me nuts. Below is an example. Plot twist: He's writing a book. Can you imagine the poor editor getting that mess? "Sent You a Private Message with some Help The L100 series service Manual Use to be one of two Manuals Deere Let use Keep on the forum after the sent shot across our Bow about Having there Manuals for download But after the Transfer the download Link Is gone"

Yeah, yikes. Also, I understand that we all goof. Hit the wrong key, get distracted or have auto-correct take over. I get it. But eventually you know what's up. The other thing is random apostrophes. JKor, can you suggest one of the yeast's that you use for the beer's you brew. One of my cousin's is coming over and bringing his brew rig's with him. Palm, meet face.

Here, cringe away. Dude has 20K posts like this. "It future If You want a Good JD dealer for service Think about Buck Bros of Harvard Only 25 Miles east BTW sent your a Private Message On the weights Where In Rockford closer to Loves Park/Machesney Park, Or our You On the west side towards westmoreland or are you out towards Belvidere I Know Rockford Pretty well was a Dell computer service tech for a few Years and Rockford was My service area"

I assume you've all seen the grammar rules mug? I was going to post a pic, but there's no spoiler tag for bad language.

Let's see: He has violated the run-on sentence. He capitalizes words that should not be and vice-versa. He apparently does not read his post before hitting [POST]. It could give me nightmares.
