In other words, you don't have enough respect for the people you're communicating with to make an effort. When someone writes sloppily, readers tend to equate the content with the form - ie, both are viewed as sloppy.

but to judge ones education only with his ability to speak his mother language perfect is a bit too one-sided .

When all the people _have_ is your written words, what else are they supposed to judge you on?
your second point is somewhat true .
but normally when posting something in the internet almost nobody cares about punctuation and capitalization .
in germany we get drilled long enough with this [censored] in school .
since i get no marks if i care too much about capitalization/punctuation etc. when i post something in the internet and since you can post faster with leaving this rules away without damaging the content of your post so why should i care about capitalization etc. ?

as long as i don't study linguistics in university even the professors don't care too much about orthography too .

hey i don't try to write a novel but just a discussion lol


most of you have the blessing being americans . but now in german we decide about a new orthography reform and still nobody is sure if they should do it or not .
so since we were really overdrilled with this crap in school at least i am perhaps especially sloppy there .


but einstein e.g. didn't win his nobelprize for writing perfect orthography but for his discoveries .
not that i am einstein i just wanted to give a good example how unimportant "overperfect" language is as long as you are no politician or a talkmaster .
