I have a degree in English Literature and abhor the internet for ruining an intricate language!

Not to pick on Artas, but even well thought out statements are easily mixed up. English is more complex than you think!

Here in Artas' post he uses the wrong form of "there." He missed an apostrophe in "it's, don't," and "I'll." Also, you shouldn't start a sentence with "so," because it assumes previous knowledge that is not in the sentence.

Correction:

Is that picky enough for you?

It's proved to be easily readable if you don't forget any letters but it's still annoying to not see somebody take the time to write properly!

Actually, it's when all of the letter of a word are in it and the first and last letters are the same is it easily recognizable. I could barely read the mixed-up post. An example would be: Hey gyus waht is hpninpeag hree?

Even if we can still understand you, it's a sign of respect and kindness to use proper grammar. It is also harder to understand you when you don't use apostrophes.
