Spelling, Grammar, and Shorthand

This is a Cedar Point forum. There is no need to critisize for small spelling errors and minor shorthand infractions. It seems to me that alot of good threads get ruined with spelling and grammar corrections. There should be a nominated proof reader. Only this nominated individual would be able to correct people. If there are little mistakes, please, just let them go. I am attaching the regulations on spelling and grammar to this. Please take notice to the last paragragh, that states they are not looking for perfection.

The overwhelming majority of times that grammar and spelling are called out are quite valid according to those regulations.

I accidently created one huge run-on sentence, and that is what the thread turned into everyone telling me I created a run-on sentence.

Accidentally?

There is a difference between mispelling a few words, and not using correct grammar at all. I may not always know the correct grammar, but I try my best. I remember when I first starting coming to this site I was 15 years old. My grammar sucked. lol. This site actually helped me turn that around.

Unfortunately some people just like to think they are in charge when they are not. I can agree that some internet short hand is ok but too much can make a post hard to understand. It doesn't take that long to type out your thoughts and make them clear and articulate. Now I know that there is nobody on this site that is perfect and we all make typing errors every now and then, so unless the spelling and grammar in a post are totally off kilt then I say just read on and enjoy.

Did you "accidentally" do it again?
