It's one thing to make a mistake now and then, it's another when you can't figure out what somebody is trying to say without reading the post three or four times. I think it's the latter situation that Bruce is voicing his frustrations about.
When I talk to my "Assistant Editor" sister, I try to double check my grammar and punctuation. However, even she overlooks a mistake when it occurs every once in awhile. I don't think any of us mind when it's an honest mistake. What does drive us crazy, is either when it seems no effort at all has been made, or when words are misused to the point it causes someone to sound like they come from the back woods.
