Yes, the picture that the general crowd presents itself in the internet is rather dimwitted...

Because most don't know each other personally, and it's basically anonymous, there seems to be an attitude of 'I couldn't care less'. And no, the number of dyslexic (! was that a pun above?) can't be that high...

We present a picture of ourselves in our posts - how that picture is perceived is a matter of individuals - but it does reflect on us and our mental - - - capabilities?

Not only do I proofread and spellcheck what I write because I want to boast a picture of a half-way intelligent, literate man - I also firmly believe it to be a matter of respect towards the readers to make such effort.

That said, we have to be tolerant to those whose mother language is not English - but being a non-native English speaker myself, I also put a burden on those as they should help the others to properly learn their language - and thus show of respect for their mother language - by properly using it!
