Spelling
I'm not a correct spelling nanny, but for the love of God,I wonder if many people here ever graduated from school. The spelling on this forum is ridiculous. I understand fat fingering a letter while posting from your phones of which I am guilty of sometimes. But too many times people are using words that sound the same but have the wrong meaning. As an example... how do you brake a window? or ask for advise?
I would recommend you "break" a window, and advise you to ask for advice.

The OP is talking about maintaining a standard. Not the occasionally misspelled word in a lengthy post, but several in a short paragraph.
Comes down to people being too lazy in some cases. In others, just not caring. There are those who really are bad spellers.
A post like this is needed from time to time as a reminder. Something to worry about - no. But a timely post all the same.

It makes the poster look like an idiot...granted auto correct can play havoc sometimes, ffs go back and correct it.
With having 0 time before an edit is shown on a post I am extra careful on my spelling, it's embarrassing to have to edit due to grammar.
