Shouldn't it be P.P.S. not P.S.S. which stands for Post-postscript?

Yes I messed that one up. Post Post Scriptum and/or Post Scriptum Srciptum, with what I have been able to find, both are acceptable. Anything more then P.S. in a formal letter is somewhat frowned on though.

Well, anyway, bottom line is, if you can't be bothered to spell right (or at least mostly right if English is not your main language), then one could assume you can't be bothered to make an effort to make sense, so it's relatively safe to assume misspelled posts have (on average) a lower intellectual value.
In other words, bad spelling aproximately equals lousy post content with a fairly high degree of confidence. The reverse is sadly not true... you can have perfect spelling and it still doesn't mean your post is better than average.

Yes, perfect spelling does not make up for bad grammar, or just plain incomprehensible insane troll logic of a post. |

I commented on someone recently, but only because the mistake came at the end of a rant where the guy that made the mistake was talking about how smart and superior he was to somebody or something else. I can't quite remember the details. -- Distortion| Distortion 2 Preview |
