It's "couldn't care less" and how you type is a natural function. Think of it as second-nature in a sense. If you type incorrectly on an internet forum, chances are that you will do the same in the first draft of your school papers.

haha, yessss i know, but when i type on here, im usually in a hurry. if i am typing something like school reports, i take time on it. I'm not going to lie, i have caught myself a few times using internet slang on papers, and im sure alot of other people here have. but i always make sure to fix that before anyone ever knows

Oh, I know. It's easy to see when you purposefully type like this... However, when someone uses the wrong form of "there/their/they're", it is very apparent that the person does not have a full grasp on the English language.

This is pretty much the worst post of all time. :lmfao:

If you get your rocks off correcting grammatical mistakes in an online message forum, well I feel sad for you. I'm not a perfect speller, I don't attempt to be. I expect much less from an online board of car enthusiasts :lmfao: You will have to excuse me if my expectations aren't too high. I don't come on here for perfectly formed sentences and correctly placed puncuation. I find it hard to believe you get so upset at posts that are not spelled correctly. If that was the case the only place you would be is NWS :D

Shouldn't this be in the education forum? Misplaced threads really piss me off! LOL
