Use correct grammar. Simple as that. Now, I understand that for some of you out there, English is not your first language, and this is not your fault. But for those who have been raised speaking this language, you ought to be able to write it down correctly.

Not only is it irritating and painful to look at, people will take you more seriously if your grammar is correct, and lengthy posts are in paragraphs, not one big, ugly bunch of messy letters.

Here's an example:

i think that there map is good stop hateing on it

I think that their map is good. Please provide constructive criticism, don't just hate on it.

Which post are you most likely to pay closer attention to?

I just felt a need to get this out there. It really irks me when people who have spent their entire life using the English language cannot express themselves properly on a page.

[ProHighJacker]

I guess its a choice really, if you want to appear professional and well educated then use good grammar, if u wnt 2 speek lyk dis, it'll make you come off as un-educated and un-proffessional, it isn't really a strategy.

I like this. I already have decent grammar, but I'm sure this will help others.

People don't take you seriously if the people aren't very mature.

This isn't always the case. People who's first language wasn't english sometimes have better grammar then people who's first language was english.

You're using commas the wrong way. Learn the actual comma rules instead of putting them in because they feel like they belong there. It's okay to have multiple sentences. You're just trying to make yourself look better by adding unnecessary commas.
