On a forum like this, where we only see each other's words, how you use language is how people will form an opinion of you. Fair or not, that's the way it is.

Because I want people to understand what I am saying, I write clearly without a lot of misspellings and slang.

I am sometimes surprised at how some posters here really butcher the English language. I cannot see how typing "PPPLLLLEEEAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" is easier than typing "please". It's a style, and that's fine, but there is little value in being skilled in writing computer-speak, and great value in being able to write in proper English.
