I can see why it is annoying.
I will pledge to check grammar,spelling, and to proof read. My only wish, and it's just a wish, that we could copy photos directly from our phones to this forum, without having to first post them somewhere else. I think the quality of posts would increase in the same way.

Yes. Let's find a programmer to pay to make this happen.

I visited Mom yesterday and got my grammar corrected just like the old days.

I've never learned when to use good/well and other similar word issues.

There are several words, too, that I ALWAYS misspell. They usually involve letters of the alphabet.

Mom is 87 yrs young and borned me, 5 brothers and a sister.

Her life has been a lot of work, and she never shirked. (she does not smoke a pipe, her dad did!)

One word that bugs me is occaision. ocassion. occaission. aw the heck w/it.

My seven-year-old has starting writing in "text-speech." Bugs the hell out of me, but he's seven, and can't be expected to be too smart.
Among adults, I think that a) everyone is occasionally guilty of typos, b) some people don't know any better and c) some people just don't care.
It's the third group that bug me. If you want people to understand you, it seems reasonable to put forth a tiny bit of effort to make your post easy to read. Why would I post if I didn't want people to read, understand and comment on what I posted?
