The english language, love it or leave it

Proof read your posts please. i have this thing about the english language. it hurts my brain when there are grotesque blasphemies against my native tongue. i can stop myself from commenting on each and every instance of mutilation, but it's been building up, and rather than blow up at one especialy horrendous post, i decided to vent here.
i can understand some minor spelling errors, i type fast and don't think about it sometimes, but these are the ones i see far too often: there, they're, their, to, two, too. are, our, your, you're, and any other i can't think of now.
don't get me wrong, i'm not talking to the ESL people here, just those that were born into and/or raised speaking english. we all had to take classes through out our school lives, and sometimes i feel like i was the only one paying attention.
am i alone in this or do others feel the same?

Capitalization doesn't seem to be your thing either.
One could be inclined to call that a "grotesque blasphemy" as well.

But if you are going to make a criticism rant post, then proof before you post. Nash has already pointed out the lack of capital letters.

It doesn't bother me too much. I'm a horrible speller. I'd be in big trouble if Firefox didn't have a spell-checker by default. Plus, my grammar is left much to be desired, too. I'm horrible with commas and semi-colons. Sometimes I simply type too fast and am too lazy to proof read for simple mistakes.
It really only bothers me when it is just laziness. Some members on here are just lazy and don't care to attempt to make themselves look remotely intelligent. It may not seem right, but usually when someone butchers the language like that I completely ignore what they have to say. I mean hey, if you can't attempt proper grammar then your opinion means squat.
