Title says it all. We need an auto-grammar corrector to put punctuation and capital letters into posts that have none.
I dunno if people are too lazy, or too stupid, or something... but this has to stop.
Sample (#/f/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=2;t=19435)

Edit: Link works now.
My view...too dumb to type in a way that I can easily read, to dumb to understand what I'm going to tell them anyway. So I've just stopped posting to people who write like jackasses.

i don't know what it is but i don't like using capital letters. i do make sure to use correct punctuation and the correct spelling of words. i'll even edit my posts if i catch something.
I should probably add. Slang and stuff doesn't really bother me, neither does bad punctuation or misspelled words...as long as it's not excessive to the point where I can't read the thread with ease.
I say "gona", "prolly" and "dono" a lot just because it flows better than "going to" "probably" and "don't know" or "do not know" not to mention easier to type.
Heh, You get me on AIM and I don't type worth a damn <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Though proof reading every single post may be too much to ask, posting isn't a race. It's ok to take your time and at least read what you wrote before hitting "add reply"
What really bothers me is when every other work is abbreviated so I can't tell what the hell they are saying or it's all ghetto an sheit mang or IN ALL CAPS. Those are the ones I ignore. ghetto spake = ignorance, CAPS = annoying, over abbreviated = I dono...jes fuckn annoyn

I agree with you. We should add a spell-check feature.
I don't really have a problem with people using words like wanna, gonna, and stuff like that. I just hate it when PeOpLe TyPe LyKe DiS.
Also, people who do not know the difference between your and you're, there and their. People who do not use punctuation and have run on sentences. I also dislike people who use.... ... ... .........
OK. That is all. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

personally, i dont think people would use it, becuz many people type all slang, i think the spell checker/grammer corrector would be correcting all the problems. people type slang etc to be quick. no need to type a good skool style essay for a post. also if it does happen, who is going to press the button that says "Auto Grammer Corrector?" i wouldnt, im lazy. but hey, it is a good idea.
