As a bit of a stickler for spelling, I do sometimes find it difficult to read poorly spelled (spelt?) posts.

I tend to read quite fast, so this serves to slow me down a bit as well.

I generally tend to get the point of most posts, and don't point out incorrect spellings, as I know this is not some peoples' strong point (A-b excepted - see the thread that Garinda referred to!).

In the main, I agree with Garinda about the quality of the posting is sometimes more important than the spelling, but I also feel that correct spelling also counts for a lot. Doug admits that his spelling isn't great, so he tends to write his posts in Word first, which has an automatic spell-checker.

The main thing that I tend to notice is that people have problems differentiating there, their and they're!
