Like for instance if I were to say
There once was a yahoo user who goes around and never really answers anyones questions but in every post slams their grammar would have a "Maya" Princess complex.
I'm just saying is this language 101 or
Yahoo answers?
Would the fact that I spelled Mayan wrong be soooooooooo bad?

If you wish to appear stupid on the internet, that is your right... just as it is ours to get annoyed over people who refuse to spell correctly.
Honestly now, it's TYPING, it's not an Olympic triathlon... it doesn't take too much energy to type one extra key or something. Why would any one wish to appear like an illiterate idiot online???

Poor grammar and spelling makes your questions harder to read and causes confusion in the point or points that you are trying to make.
It is not language 101, but have some respect for knowledge here.
You should be embarassed, because you are making a mockery of the english language when you misspell words, "duz" and "peeps" are not correct.

Well, your diction & grammar are a reflexion of yourself and your education. If you go to school and your diction and grammar are bad, what does that say about the time that you spend in school? Talk any way you want around your friends, but when addressing a large number of people, speak correctly so that people will know that you have had an education and so that people will understand you completely. I sometimes speak slang, and that's fine because I know when to turn it off. The bottom line is, you don't want to look ignorant(which I am sure you are not).

Well, your opening sentence is REALLY hard to understand and if the rest of the post read like that it would aggrivate me no end. But to nitpick every little mistake on this forum is anal and a waste of time.

Poor grammar is a sign of low intelligence. If you want to give people a poor impression of you, then deal with it.

When they do it repeatedly, it gets really annoying, or when they do it with every word or every other word. it makes most sound uneducated.
