Okay, but I thought the goal of posting messages was to be understood. Grammar and punctuation were invented for a reason. If the writer gives them low priority (especially punctuation), I oftentimes find myself reading a post two or three times to try to figure out what the poster is talking about. I don’t think that’s the intent of written communication.
But you’re right. If all we have to worry about is temporary font glitches on a forum and poor grammar or missing periods, our lives must be pretty darn good.
