I would not have an issue with poor spelling, but there have been a few posts recently about how a post can be misinterpreted.
Punctuation has a part to play in that....how you punctuate a sentence can totally alter what it means.
For example : ‘let’s eat, Grandma’ that sentence is telling Grandma it is time to eat.
Now, try this version : let’s eat Grandma.....this implies you are going to eat Grandma.
Cashy, I know it seems irrelevant, but if you want a post to be understood rather than misunderstood...punctuation is the way.
And it does not have to be perfect....it is a long time since you and I did English Grammar at school....so we are allowed to slip up from time to time.
