I have to type things that are sent to the court. You can be sure I run spelling/grammar check AND have someone proofread it for me before it goes to the court.
I'd like to add a different perspective about caps/no caps and the like. It could be that is the way that person communicates. You'll note that I used a different font and colored font in my post. I do that as a way of individualiziung my posts. Also, back before I integrated one of my alters posted in all lower case. If she was feeling especially frightened she posted in itty-bitty sized letters.
I'm with George on this one. If communication takes place, that's what's important. Yes, some folks have ways of expressing themselves here that grate on my nerves, but that's on me.

I'm sorry, but I thought I specified those things bothered me in a
professional email. For chat, forums, and email to friends, all but the yellow font and tiny font is fine by me, and I might add, I don't feel it necessary to tell people if they mispell words in the three venues I stated above (I am fluent in 'typo') nor do I correct grammar.
As far as all caps, again, in a professional venue it is generally considered inappropriate and unnecessary as
italics and
bold are offered for the purpose of emphasis.
Just sayin'.
