The OP had a valid observation and point.
It wasn't judgemental.
The fact is that posts, documents, literature of any kind, tends to be more credible if spelled correctly.

I hate to beat a dead horse here but this thread has some very good points.
If you want to be recognized and our hunting rights protected now and into the future we need to be taken seriously. Best thing we can do is to present ourselves in a way that gains respect, all people know about us from the outside is what we write so there's nothing wrong with trying to improve what we do or say.
My whole life I've struggled with written English as i never properly learned in my early education years and although i graduated secondary school it was with a minimal pass. I never went to college or university and have only done some courses to help me along the way, the differences i made is to work hard and do my best in everything i do.
Over the years in my written and spoken skills improved which is self taught and the best learning method is reading. Reading correct spelling and grammar will improve writing skills and more importantly communications as you will be able to convey your thoughts and opinions clearly and understandable to your reading audience.
As a group i see we're often plagued by infighting and confrontation and from the outside we show our weaknesses, if we were civil together it would help us achieve much more internally with a positive approach and for the outside viewers a positive appearance.
Think about this. Peoples spelling has never bothered me to the point that I would take them to task on it. OP stepped out to make his point, I will make mine. Mind the story, not the spelling. Not everyone is an English teacher here. Really pisses me off when somebody gets jumped on for a spelling or punctuation mistake. Damn lucky to have guys on here talking . We don`t need a speech cops.You included.
Scars Are like Tattoos but With Better Stories
It was never my intention to be a “speech cop”, only to suggest that it’s worth a bit of effort when writing to government, media or anti anything bodies. It just helps remove the stereotype of hunters and firearm owners as hillbillies. Even if some of us are a bit hillbilly, and proud of it!
This whole thread is a good example of why I will never write a letter to government, I would be worried about grammatical error’s and punctuation. I will leave it up to the brainiacs that can compose an articulate and well written letter.
