Random griping that has nothing to do with anyone on my f-list

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

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.
