Would it kill you to use spell check?
Alas spell check wouldn't fix the were or the are. When I see this I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume English is their second language. Still drives me insane though.
I'm a context before accuracy person. If I can understand what they're saying and their point, I'll let minor things go. I will go back and reedit my own mistakes though, over and over, because I can't stand myself doing it. But I'm here for the discussion, not the grammar and spelling grading.
This is a rather natural conclusion once you realize all grammar rules are decided by some committee somewhere. They're not some law of nature. That being said, it also pains me greatly to find mistakes in my own text.
First week on the internet, eh?
