Worse than misspelled words is some of the grammar
that actually makes me cringe in embarrassment for the poster making a comment.
It makes me wonder if any of these people ever went to school.
Yup. I seen it many times!
I believe the cringe you speak of was just illustrated in your response. When you said "Yup. I seen it many times!" grammatically should have read "Yup. I have seen it many times!" or perhaps the contraction of "Yup. I've seen it may times!"

Just kidding Bonanza but I do believe that all posters should be heard without
critique of spelling or grammar errors. We can dissent in the content but should be sensitive to its delivery. I care little in regards to the level of eduction by all posters.
