I've just seen a particularly badly written post that started with a major spelling error justified on the grounds the person was "testifying".
Why do so many people in this forum use religion to justify poor spelling and grammar?
Has anyone else noticed that fundies and evangelicals seem to be the worst offenders ?
As I've said before ...THIS IS NOT SKILLFUL WITNESSING!
N.B. Before anyone accuses me of being judgemental or Unchristian ... I had a disability as a child that can effect spelling and writing yet I overcame it through study and manage to keep my spelling typos down to a minimal level.
If I can make the effort why cant you?

I was not referring to people who obviously have English as a second language.
I did state my grammar and spelling wasnt perfect either but there are people posting to this forum who seem to have what can only be called negative grammar or spelling skills

Shame on Americans.
Even people from third world countries are not that ignorant.

LOL, you mean AFFECT your spelling and writing.
EFFECT is a noun.
Your disability had an effect on you.
The disability can AFFECT one's grammar and writing.
"Can't" needs an apostrophe.
It is a contraction. The apostrophe takes the place of the letter "o."
Your question is also grammatically incorrect.
It should read:
"Why IS there so much bad grammar, spelling, and writing in this forum? Who are the worst offenders?"
You need a verb in there. There needs to be a comma after the words "grammar" and "spelling" (Commas are used to separate items in a series.)
You have a lot more than Spelling errors to keep down to a minimum.
By the way, are you a member of one of the groups of which you are being so critical?
You are making Christians look even worse with this post!
If you can dish it out, you had better be able to take it, friend.
I say this only because you chose to criticize those who use poor grammar and write incorrectly.

I know that my spelling can be a bit off at times. I also don't care because of the fact that my piont is still made. So what if I switch around a few letters, or maybe even leave out a letter all togeather? I try. I too have a disability that makes it hard to read and write. At least I am making an effort to get better at it.

English not be the native language of mine. So, thats why me commit so much errors in speling myself.
In fact, one of the reasons i started coming in here was to practice my english.
Its not the worst thing in the world to make some grammar and/or spelling mistakes in here.
I don't know why some people are so hung up on it
Paz de Cristo

I think everyone is trying. Why are you offended? "Those who judge others are judged". I think many are judging you right now. I don't accuse you of being Unchristian since I don't know your religion. Please be more forgiving to others and in turn they will be more forgiving to you. I thought that's what Jesus would have said AND I AM Buddhist. The sermon on the Mount was one of the more beautiful scriptures that addresses both the 'Turning the other cheek' concept as well as the 'Not judging others' concept.
Thank you for your statement /Question.
