Having said that, it's a good indicator of how intelligent and well educated one is The better you write, the less likely you will be mis-understood thus your message will get across clearly. Maybe that's why there's so many arguments on SN as people keep mis-interpreting what people write.

Or in innernete stylee...

Pish! Most of the bad spelling on here are down to:
1) 1 fingered typists who can't arsed to go back an correct their mistakes
2) brains operating considerably faster than fingers
3) Gorrillas with fingers the size of my fist who can't help hitting 5 keys at once.
4) People who don't realise you can use the mouse or cursor to go back and correct that single wrong letter, you don't have to backspace all the way.
5) Idle nation - we have become too reliant on spell checkers and calculators and for the most part we don't think about this stuff too often.

957% of posts? That would mean there are more posts with errors than there are posts. I think you probably meant 95.7%!
Did no-one get the sarcasm of my post at all.
