Am I the only one who doesn't want to RP with people who can't spell or punctuate correctly?

You should hear some of the hilarious tales of my kid sister's continuing dragon RP. Her character just beheaded some hatchling dragon who, despite being a "precocious" and "intelligent" toddler who can "read, write, n do university maths," spelled April's character Makrida as "markidia."

After a general uproar about Makrida murdering a baby and calmly wearing his skin over her head and shoulders, April revealed Makrida's secret dark nature, Dr. Manhattan style, renamed her "The Makrida-Being," and is fucking the RP over like Captain Kirk on a planet of legless vagina-monsters.

Just, you know, sort of a suggestion... XD

Coming from someone with a dependency for her computer automated spell checker, and never learned proper punctuation this probably seems mighty hypocritical. Though in my defense I do try very hard to at least look like i know what I'm doing even though I don't XD

However, the majority of people who role play [of course I don't normally roleplay on LJ because people expect you to do it way too much] suck at it. Their normally ages 11-15, which is okay for some people, but most people haven't gotten a firm sense of english right/wrong.

Its much like looking at fanfiction, especially on websites like Gaia, its just a magnet for people who don't really understand english. I don't mind minor mistakes, but dayum some people are just terrible and can't be bothered with a spell checker.
