    Like JM, I can't get over the p1ss poor spelling and grammar demonstrated by many posters. To those that can and do spell correctly (ignoring the odd typo), you have to be careful not to judge those that don't as either can't spell or can't be bothered; neither of which reflects well on the poster...

    gee I sounded like a pretentious wally then. Oh well, if the shoe fits :)

    So, does poor spelling and grammar reflect poorly on the poster or do you not even think or care if someone doesn't spell correctly?

    It annoys me too, its difficult to read and does give a poor impression of the poster (ignoring goober :p ).

    You watch, everyone will use correct spelling/grammar in this thread.....or those that can't won't post at all. :)

    Yes!!!

    I think people should be allowed 10 spelling/grammar mistakes and then they receive a 1 week ban, might teach them something. :)

    Whilst I'm going on... some more pet hates...

    * Australians that spell words with a Z and not an S (eg Organisation). We understand Americans chose to simplify the English language to create Yanklish; but, Aussies speak English!

    * Dates, Australian standard is Sunday, 2 October 2005. Not October 2, 2005, not 2nd October and certainly not 10/2/2005.

    * SMS abbreviations. Write the whole bloody word; not that half-baked, p!ss-poor attempt at communication.

    I could go on... or was I already :)

    Affect (change something) Adding toluene will affect the octane rating. Will adding toluene affect the octane rating?

    Effect (result of change) The effect of adding toluene was to increase the octane rating. That was done to good effect.

    Effect (make happen) eg Let's effect the change to the octane rating

    ie to make the change happen
