For some people it is laziness but unfortunitely a lot of it is due to poor education. It is disappointing to see how many people cannot spell even simple words correctly. They don't know the difference between "there" or "their" or "they're" for example. In my opinion, men who continously misspell is a huge turn-off. A mistake or two is okay but when you need to go back to school it is another matter. Actually what you so gleefully pointed out was a second typo or oversight on my part. To be clear, I continuously fail to proofread my messages before I post them.
By the way, I am not a fan of people who insult in a kidding sort of way then apologize for it. So I guess we're going with laziness over poor education in your case then? Wasn't meant as an insult, merely an observation...found it ironic that you were complaining about misspelling and misspelled something...hence why I put the I make mistakes all the time and I do try to proofread before I post but sometimes I still don't catch them. It's harder to spot them on your own writing than it is to pick them up in somebody else's writing, which is why most authors have proofreaders. I really don't care how well people spell. If they can make it close enough for me to understand, then it's all good. My son is a horrible speller but he's a very bright kid. I care more about what the person has to say rather than how they string letters and punctuation together. |

I do care and that is why I am stating my opinion. |

|
|
|
And end one too...
Teacher: "You cant spell!" Student: "And?" |
|
|
|
And a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

The word "and" is a conjunction , it is best to use it to connect two words. If you had read further I said I was stating MY OPINION. What part of that do you not comprehend? |

What part of that do you not comprehend? also, neither is to be accompanied by nor, you misused a comma, and you left out a comma. (: sincerely, stupid twenty year old. |

No need to send singmesweet, FatFreddy and I to the corner for using "And" to begin a sentence. It's short for in addition to the previous thought, but not close enough to separate the two sentences by a comma and use "and...". We have the grammar police in the forum now <<<Lex!!!>>> so we have to be careful what we post or it could be fifty lashes with a wet noodle. And by the way, hi Lex! |

And yes, I am something of a stickler for grammar, spelling, and (my personal favorite) punctuation. If I see "There were three dog's chewing on bone's by the tree's next to the garbage can's," I am going to start throwing thing's. Ooooops. |

I believe some folks are way to sensitive.
And I also believe it is okay, grammatically and otherwise, to start a sentence with "and". |
