Do you think it helps or hurts a discussion on YA when...?

Question

an individual making his claim for a particular idea has a good point, but REALLY bad spelling and grammar?
For example, I've seen a lot of people reply to the common "if evolution is real, why are there still monkeys?" question. Most get it right--we didn't evolve from "monkeys", but a common primate ancestor. That's all well and good, but I think the point loses some merit when said poster decides to use "chatspeak", misspells almost every word in the answer, and/or verbally insult the asker. "u r dum we dint evulv from monkies we came from old ape lik thingies milluns uv yers ago"

.....well....you got the basic point....

Answer 1

I never thought it about before...but I see your point. They counter their own point with their use of language. Hm. I pretty much subscribe to the "let them be" outlook. It has come to my attention that there people all over the world who participate in this venue; who speak different languages...but I don't think that is what you are talking about. Yes...it invalidates their answer. Sometimes, you have to look at the source in order to pay attention to the content. Thanks for it bringing up. "Duly noted"!
