Just a random question about spelling and grammar while asking question.?

Who could possibly need help more than someone who cannot spell? (Of course. Please. "HALP" that person!)

On the topic of spelling, I personally feel the "good grammar" people really get their panties in way too ("to," "two" or "tew?") tight of a twist over typos -- especially when we're talking about communicating via the social media. A really cool friend of mine (on Facebook) was just ranting about people who make typos, yesterday, in fact. Here's what I wrote in reply:

I dun care if peeple thnk i'm stoop-hid. jest oftun post from my damn SMART PHONE and it's not always very FAR-r-r-rt. (Uuups. That was supposed to be FART. Dang! Did it agin. SM+ar-r-rt). There!

{{So many people are posting from electronics OTHER than their home computer. Smart Phones and other devices often try to "correct" words that get typed and so errors, like the above scenario, get made.}}

Social media is supposed to be fun (for socializing). It's not supposed to be about posturing ... where one person says: "Guess what! I can spell a LOT better than you!" (Nobody likes a stuffy old wind-bag who postures like that.)

Besides all of that? We are ALL HUMAN! People make mistakes. Keys stick on the keyboard. Errors even show up in huge block buster movies (when highly paid people worked with multiple editors and professional reviewers to make the movie perfect). Just look at the question you posted here:

"Just a random question about spelling and grammar while asking (insert "a") question.?" (Omit the period.) NOBODY likes to be corrected. Not even you and me. (Me and I, I mean, you and myself?)

many posters on yahoo answers do not speak english as their first language. it's not entirely fair to hold that against them.
