While the above graphic is pretty funny, it's not entirely true. Sure there are people online that will berate you for misspelling words, or overall screwing up your grammar, but there is so much that gets away scott free. Have you looked at Facebook recently? Every other post that isn't by your mom's co-worker is misspelled. 'i's and 'u's are all over the place, as well as 'lol', 'yolo' and 'brb'. I'm not saying that you should have to type out everything individually, or spellcheck everything you put online, but you should at least put some effort into it. Why should people look at your statuses or posts and put some thought into them when you obviously haven't?
There's also the fact that it comes out in school as well. I see people treating essays and papers the same way they treat Facebook posts. And that does
not bode well for their grades.
Overall, it's just pathetic. Why waste precious time typing up something no one will take seriously? Time isn't all that precious? Then use a little more before you hit 'Enter'.
Now that I'm through with my little rant, I hope you enjoy that random pic I found on a cool little site. It's from

*And yes, isn't that the cherry on top?
