Bad grammar is worse than poor spelling IMO.... When a sentence just sprawls for like 6 lines it's makes my eyes bleed.

i agree, unless the post some sort of importance
i can take bad spelling and bad grammer in small post but when you combine bad grammar, terrible spelling and a chapter from harry potter, the post is not worth reading.

i dont mind either that much
the one that gets me is the bad spelling on purpose where the word turns out longer than the normal spelling of the word
like if someone wrote hecktick in stead of hectic
or if they use z instead of s

@people talking about bad grammar and spelling, neither botherz me if someone at least putz the effort into making it readable. I don't care if there is no capitalisation nor punctuation, but simply pressing the [Enter] key twice every 5 sentencez isn't hard. I don't care how important something is to say, I will not read walls of text... I value my eyesight too much.

Nope. "Its" (belonging to 'it') is one of the few times you don't use a possessive apostrophe.
ie. Bennoz has done a lot of work on his car.
It's highly tuned.
Its engine will blow up shortly though.
