I totally agree, Dizzy! Well done for starting this thread, people need to be proud about their efforts to spell properly, and not slip into the laziness of text speak and poor punctuation. After all, it only backfires on them, as can be seen by the "engin break crank" thread in Talk and Tuning

Not at all. I'm suggesting that the pervasive 'it's not going to make a difference' attitude is responsible for the general decline in written English standards.
