I'm familiar with this message board format, am on several forums that use it and this is the only one that doesn't have the spell checker enabled. And, from what I've read so far, it could use it.
I have yet to find something so entirely mangled, spelling wise, as to be illegible... perfect spelling is no prerequisite to enjoying traditional rods and customs. Focus less on the failings of others and just soak up all that the Hamb has to offer.
It's funny, I have a harder time reading though poor (or lack there of) punctuation, than I do with poor spelling.
I'm not suggesting that it become mandatory that you spell check everything you post. I'm just suggesting you give people a tool that they can use to communicate better. If they use it, fine. If they don't, so be it.
Yeah, the bad grammar is a killer for me. Like this: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6826258&postcount=1 I have to force my way through it.
