If you can't be bothered to spell check and proof read your sentences then it would appear to me that you have no respect whatsoever for your audience, you take them as fools beneath your respect. Which sort of rhymes with "do not mesh with their own fucked-up, shattered view of the world."

What's your point? Are you trying to use my post to beat up on Jace, or are you indicating that I've made an error of some form in "spell check and proof read?" Or what?

As I wrote in my previous post, your position on failure to spell check and proof read seems rather harsh to me. To each his own.

It's the "Or what?" According to your position on failure to spell check and proof read, you'd think Jace has no respect whatsoever for his audience and takes them as fools beneath his respect.

I do ponder, in light of your position on failure to spell check and proof read, what do you think of a person that gives an evasive answer such as you did with your "magical entity from the flying spaghetti monster universe" response. I mean, on my scale, failure to spell check and proof read is hardly offensive but intentional evasion of answering a sincere question on a radio show could be taken as an insult to the person that asked the question and the listening audience. Which I think in the eyes of the audience, the "insult" manifests as a loss of credibility for the speaker/writer.

I think failure to spell check and proof read is sloppy and displays the writer's disregard for his ideas he attempts to put into words. I think intentional evasion is blatant/egregious disregard for the audience. That said, it's the author and speaker that shoulder the consequences of their acts of writing and speaking.

To some people, it simply doesn't matter to them what other people think of them. IMO, much more important is that I don't shave their face in the mirror each morning -- it's my integrity that's on the line, not theirs.
