This complete contempt for basic editing offends me.

11. Even spell check doesn't cut it.
I saw a thread yesterday where the poor yokel had obviously used spellcheck, but hadn't noticed that "there" was used in place of "they're" and "their" evey single time.

I mean, take a second and reread what you've typed before you hit the post message button. If it's too long, that's what the preview key is for.

It just "ittitates" the piss out of me.

13. It was in the title of the thread.
I mean, really, can't you at least spell check the title?

It makes you look, well, "mizinfoarmed".
