Your, you're. Then, than. Your/you're thoughts?

Spelling. And basic punctuation. Are you fer it or or agin' it?

I'm guilty of than/then, I honestly don't even know the correct usage.

I'm for it but I also understand that conversations on forums like ccom are not the same as a professional email or letter. That doesn't mean that we can let all the rules of out he door but I am certainly more forgiving for a typo now and again. I do a lot of my forum interaction on my phone or iPad and it's much harder to see what I am writing at times. Now, having said that, I taught at university for 12 years and was appalled by the degradation of students grammar, spelling, and punctuation over time. If I could attach a document to this I'd post this thing I use to give my students on writing. It was pretty snarky (IMHO)

I agree. And I'm no better than anybody else. I'm certainly no english professor. And if anybody messes up grammatically here on the forum it doesn't bother me much. But You guys are my friends and if I had a booger hanging out of my nose, I'd want you to tell me about it. Same theory. Also if I was doing something wrong with my humidor, I'd want you to tell me about it. So, I'm bringing up the conversation. But please don't take it the wrong way. If anybody would rather not hear about it, then please feel very welcomed to ignore all that I have posted here.

You have good friends, because no way would mine tell me about a booger hanging out.

the your/you're type of grammatical errors are a pet peeve of mine. My friends purposely put the wrong version in emails and texts just to *** with me.

I'm for it but I'm not going to call anyone out on it, what with typing on phones and the like, it's bound to happen by accident.

Most of those I don't have a problem with, but I admit I have to stop and think about whether to use effect or affect.

Those two words are becoming extinct. Ever notice how all forms of the word "impact" have virtually replaced both affect and effect in most usage? (And I hate it too.)
