laziness

i'm curious, i tend to not bother with caps when typing in here, and i don't bother much with spell checking either. i do like to get my punctuation right though. (and now I have to decide whether to stick a comma in between "right" and "though" bugger, wish i hadn't started this now)

do my friends think less of me for my lack of care and attention to my typing?

also, just what is LJ etiquette - if I'm commenting on someone else's journal, should I be more careful, and capitalise and spell properly?

why am i asking this? because it's better than working...

3 days, 2 hours and counting!

My husband would beg to differ, but I think consistently poor spelling and bad grammar reflect on how people see you as a person. It's the same as pronouncing words properly when speaking.

Or maybe I'm just pedantic.

pedantic is good, well, most of the time!
and I do most certainly agree, I have a *terribly* snobbish attitude to people who can't type and don't knwo their grammar. i just can't be arsed with proving it myself most of the time!
actually, i'm very careful with my *spelling* it's just the ty[ing that sucks!
how's the non-niddrie going?
