I'm afraid that I think you're wrong there CrescentPirate. Correct spelling and grammar needs to be a matter of continuously re-inforced habit; you can't suddenly adopt good habits when required any more than you can suddenly start flying well for a skills test or line check: it needs to always be there.

Oh, by the way, relating to the above topic of correct grammer, there actually is no criticism. Why must i say this? Sure the text is gramatically incorrect in standard english but we are on a forum in which does not require standard english and so we can openly use functions of slang and influency features as an affordance. Writing in fully standard english holds the contraints of time and effort. I am not knocking the need for standard english, it is important for formal occasions and speaking to people of relative importance but it is not entirly important on these types of networks.
