Spelling on FanPosts

As a loyal reader of this site and all the Fanposts, I've got to say it's a little unnerving just how bad the spelling has gotten. I'm not asking people to proofread their posts carefully, but when you read typo after typo, it gets annoying. Maybe it's just me, but if you see yourself type a mistake, just press backspace and try again. It's completely bush league. A little pride in your work, that's all I'm asking.

Amen!!

Take some pride in your work, gang! Typos and text-message style shorthand don’t get it done here. We know you guys are better than that.

I don't know

I always love those run on ALL CAPS threads where we must fire Cashman and Girardi, put Joba in the pen, kill Posada, and hope to win the World Series against the Red Sox.

Taking pride is OK, but I also like the dunces who create threads as stated above.
