As for your writing like a wanker rant, need I point out the following:

• English isn't everyone's first language.
• Your local sayings aren't the same as everyone else's
• email is shorter and faster to type than e-mail.
• Poor punctuation and spelling are hardly going to kill you. The vast majority of the time they won't even slow down your reading let alone make the point incomprehensible.

As for proprietary file formats in public discussion forums, it's a good thing. If the format is in wide use, it will become open and reduce user's dependency on it. Mind u, those, l4m3rs f*ckin piss me off 2 ;-)

There's also a difference between sending an e-mail to your friends and professional writing for work. What is acceptable in one case is not in the other. Poor punctuation and spelling are a real problem if they are part of the documentation written by a highly paid consultant.

There is no place in hell (cos even the Devil doesn't want 'em), for those W****** who cite other W****** to excuse their habit of critiquing the format of the message, instead of it's content.

yall just sayin that cause ya cant spell write, how ya can hit that there starrylookin key so much is not right but I reckon that there idea ya got bout what he means instead of bein purty is deep.
