I never criticize anyone's spelling, punctuation or grammar in discussion board posts or e-mails because the Law of Karma (or something) says that if someone does, he or she is virtually guaranteed to have one of the aforementioned issues with his own post or e-mail.
It's happened to me. Ugh. So embarrassing. I had a brain fart and forgot how to spell "mischievous." It did not go uncorrected.
Besides, it's just rude. People tend to do this when they can't think of any other way to respond in a debate. "Blah blah." "Oh yeah? Well, you can't spell."
The language is evolving. You can tell the difference between someone who knows the rules and breaks them intentionally, for some effect, and someone who just doesn't get it. Or doesn't care.
The only ones I really criticize are the ones who don't care.
