Spelings and mistakes

I agree with Ragnorak and Kikuyo .

L33t, chatspeak, netspeak, text speak, whatever, is STOOOOOPID! For someone to take you seriously, don't use it! And usually, I have NO IDEA what people are saying. I've had applications to join Practical Witches, and messaged the person back to ask them to re-do it in English, and get no response. So I find people like that lazy and obviously not willing to learn (in Practical Witches or anywhere on this site).

If it's someone who obviously doesn't speak English as a first language, or has learning differences where spelling is an issue, that's pretty noticeable and I have no issues with it (because they TRY, right?). I would NEVER put down someone with an obvious learning difference or who speaks a different language who is trying to type properly (maybe they could say "English isn't my first language" or something, so that we can try to help them as much as we can, too).

I'm all for the helping. :D
