Also, as stated, the better you type your question and the easier you make it to read, the more people you will actually get to read the question. When I see a post that lacks punctuation, is all capatalized, and does not have verbs and/or subjects in most of its sentences, I just bypass it. I retyped your post, to show you what I am talking about.
I know I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but someone who might not have great spelling or wrighting skills doesn't deserve a responce?....

I've posted about this once before, 2 years ago I broke my neck and had massive head trauma. Because of the accident I have serious problems with spelling, sentence structure, forgotten words, calculation problems, my neurologist have told me this will affect me the rest of my life. I have to look up common words for correct spelling all the time, sometimes if I simply can't remember how to spell a word I will use one that I know how to spell but might not be the best possible choice so the senence looks kinda weird. I own a chain of retail sores, nice home, do charity work for the local animal rescue groups and I can't spell or wright very well. I really have a problem with people who think they are better than because of spelling, to bypass someones request for help because of this sends a message of "I'm to good to help you"

NAH It WAS More The Cap Letters At The Beginning OF Every Word WITH ALL Words Sometimes Being Caps That Was Wierd AND Hard To Read And NOT so Much The Spelling... But it looks all better now. :happyfish
Man, it's hard to type that way.

I am not looking down on anyone, especially those who are disadvantaged. However, with that said, we all have problems with spelling sometimes. Like I said though, you can just as easily type your post in Microsoft Word or another similair program and then copy and paste it into the little box at the bottom of the SWF.com screen. I only say this because reading a post that is all one sentence or that capitalizes every word is hard for me to read. I'm sorry, but it literally hurts my head sometimes.
Max, I had no problem with your post. Regardless of the spelling errors, it was at least coherent english and I was able to read it very well. If a person is leaving out the word "I" at the beginning of each sentence or fails to put any form of punctuation, they are usually in a rush, in my opinion.

Lion, wasn't aimed at you and I appreciate your input on using MS to post messages. LOL, there were spelling errors in my post,....I tried so hard, seriously....Everyone who knows me will say that I laugh at this problem of mine (most of the time), sometimes it's kinda funny......(sorry for straying off subject) I own a couple of pet treat bakeries and we try and come up with funny names or spoofs on names for the treats, we have one treat that looks like a donut, so I created this little sign, put it the display case for the world to read, I was going for the dog spoof on the first few letters of "Donut" but I spelled it "Dog Nuts" .95 each
Everyone who came in was just cracking up, finally somebody told me.....

nope it's just harder for us to read, and not spelling or writing doesn't mean one can't use lower case....
I'm sorry, but it literally hurts my head sometimes.
ditto, and in my case, I tend to correct everything I read, and never get around the to the answer!
besides I have my MA and I can't spell.
