Personally, I hate having to type in a game scenario... A) My typing is hunt-n-peck. B) My spelink bites (& gramer 2). 3) I usually lose a sub or something whilst distracted. (and yes, the A, B, 3, bit is intentional, amongst other… glitches
)
As for in a forum, I use spell-check (and cross my fingers). Of course, having a mild learning disability and the lack of compensative teaching while growing up didn't help. Dyslexics of the world UNTIE!! :)
Where <(I never know if I use the right variation here) my distant childhood experience helps is in an sense of empathy for others, and a certain lack of judgment on any spelling or grammar issues I recognize (in a forum, not on a resume
)… after all, they may be slightly challenged on those skills, like me, but still very intelligent; Intelligence and education are not the same... I have briefly employed some rather dumb educated people.
BTW... I am just not online chat savvy enough to understand all the abbreviations... but in a game scenario I approve of them since I can get back to the game in time to see my sub sink, instead of wondering were it went
