Do you do the same for race and have a hard time seeing the content of a person's character?

nicely, in case you propose right here on R&S, i'm hoping I do. i be attentive to my grammar and spelling are undesirable (almost wrote is), notwithstanding it quite is the message one is attempting to place across it somewhat is important. real, grammar and spelling help get the element for the duration of greater ordinary and make it greater ordinary to be taken heavily. Spell verify would not artwork each and all of the time and now and returned i attempt to decrease and paste for the excuses above. yet i can get pressed for time and in basic terms write as ultimate i can so the guy can recieve a stable answer which should not be puzzled with a scholarly artwork. My Father, who basically has a 6th grade training, can slightly write and yet while he does i don't write him returned or nicely suited him. He merits appreciate and is very clever on non secular concerns and different factors besides. Plus there are few products of equipment he won't be able to perform. We of the faculty set could desire to learn from his occasion. basically a fool passes up awareness by using fact of grammar and spelling.

Race is a social category that people get pigeonholed in--ithas nothing to do with the person.
Poor grammer, on the other hand, is a sure-fire indication of either sloppy thinking--or a poor education.
Thus, the "content" is rarely worthwhile. I'm not sure what you tossed in "character" for. That has nothing to do with any of the points you mentioned. Perhaps you should look up the definition in the dictionary?

It has nothing to do with whether a person is liberal or conservative. Personally, I find the relentless "why do libs..." or "why do cons..." questions pointless and annoying. I have noticed, however, that there are plenty of people here from both ends of the political spectrum who can't spell or put a coherent sentence together, who nevertheless feel that they have the solution to the world's problems. Frankly, it's hard to take someone like that very seriously.

Yea. Some on both sides go to the "grammar" police. I can't because my two finger key strokes leave MUCH to be desired. If a person s making a valid point, I always ignore the spelling or simply don't respond if the spelling/grammar bothers me too much.

It depends how vitriolic the poster is, and whether s/he is attempting to demean the intelligence of another person or group of people.
If the point is clear, polite, and seems honest, I'll let the rest slide. I'll also let it slide if someone who's clearly not a native speaker is trying to make a good-faith point in English. It seems to be cons who jump down the grammatical throats of those who are clearly foreigners.
If someone tooting his own intellectual horn can't be bothered to put together a coherent (let alone clever) phrase or spell fourth grade vocabulary correctly, I'll give him one or both barrels.

Some mistakes like too/to or their/there. hear/here...are not picked up by spell check...and I think they are made out of haste rather than ignorance...
Some mistakes are because they are not familiar with the language...those are very easy to spot....
Some are just plain laziness. Those are the ones that irritate me.
But I do agree that sometimes the content makes a valid enough point to overlook some grammatical/spelling errors...
I think alot of people point them out because they do not have an effective rebuttal and are just looking to belittle the poster instead of providing a valid argument. Those are also, easy to spot.
Then again, there are those like Danny the whatever who purposefully spell our president's name with a lower case, out of disrespect.

Because adults don't have discuss the state of our country by saying things like "U libs R confuzed, lol!". This is an adult forum and every one should speak like an adult.
What can't Cons just answer a question without always bringing up irrelevant Clinton stories?

What does that have to do with race?
It's just distracting when someone makes a post and they have the spelling/grammar skills of a 2nd grader, I'm sorry...

Maybe if you had correct grammar your question would make sense, and I would be able to give you a sensible answer.
Why the fuss? It is your language, after all.
I'm going to assume you often experience problems with communicating. Awww.

hey now... I've had to hear some of the grammar Nazis too...
so it's on both sides...
it's Yahoo Answers people... it's not an English class... and while it's nice to spell everything properly... it's a bit silly to cry about it...
