Evidence for Creationism

Quote: I leave errors in many of my post. It reminds me of what I don't know You should make that your signature. Generally speaking when some mauls the English language that badly and consistently it's because they are a barely literate moron. Glad you cleared up that confusion. Carry on.

That's fine, but remember that, ultimately, you're trying to convey information to other people who have to read what you write. Unfortunately, written language, especially English, has certain specific conventions and while the language is flexible enough to tolerate quite a surprising range of non-standard elements, putting no effort into making yourself understood is going to make other people not bother trying to decipher your posts.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It reminds me of what I don't know. my meaning is clear enough for this place. if the info passes our understanding we mite want to investigate what we are commenting on. Like a belief. I actually had one well written poster questioning punctuated equilibrium. He roted wheel well. But just his questioning proved that is all he could do. He knew jack shit about what he was defendering. But he was telling another person how it is. so, like I said. if we cant read well enough to get threw errors, it mite just indicate what our mental limitations are.
Well, it was only advice. I tried. If you won't take constructive advice, that's up to you.

You could just download a spellchecker if it's too much to check.
Personally, I consider spelling and grammar on an Internet forum to be much akin to dialect and use of language in real life. To be sure there are people who speak well but know little, but I've never been to a conference and heard someone say something on the lines of "today I'm gonna like tell you all about like acral lentigious melanomas which are like well bad! Seriously they are like properly dangerous! ".
Whilst the message is more than the medium, it helps if the medium is reasonably well formatted. Having all the knowledge in the world is of little use if you can't communicate it effectively. Leaving aside typos and autocorrect errors, which happen to everyone, why not simply try to make your views as clear as possible? It's not hard to do.
