More incorrect than rude, typing is about hitting the letters you wanted to hit accurately, quickly, consistently and without strain or injury, spelling and grammar are something entirely different!

And both are about communicating with other human beings effectively. I could spell out everything phonetically or use text shorthand as well, but that makes it generally harder for a wide audience to enjoyably consume my writing. Humans do a large part of reading via gestalt comprehension, changing the "shape" of words stymies this process.

We have medical students "training" their fast and ugly writing, right from the beginning of college. It's all about the doctor's status. The bad handwriting is one medal.

And you've just lowercased the starting letter of a new sentence. If you're going to flag someone over something, make sure you double check what you've typed.

Yes I did and it was on purpose, because I was listing exact examples from his comment. Probably should have put them in quotes though, I'll give you that.

I did miss that part, but they should have been quoted as examples, quotes save lives.
theres instead of theirs, secretarys instead of secretaries and none of your I's are uppercase as they're supposed to be.
