As long as the message gets across!

Nope.

Poor spelling and/or grammar equates not only to a lack of intellect and/or education, but also a lack of respect for the person or people you are communicating with. The same goes for the inability or refusal to adequately read and/or comprehend what someone else has written, prior to responding.

Unless it’s a Police Officer!!!!!

urm right so for those who’s English is second language, you think they are not educated and that they lack in intelligence and not have respect for the person that they are communicating with that is so much load of shit chucky.

Hmmm, so if I communicate to someone who doesn’t speak English as a fist language I should be offended by them!  Think not.
Lack of respect is refusal to adjust ones own ability to achieve accurate communication.

Assuming a higher intellect due to ones education and knowledge, of a language or reading/writing ability is rude and disrespectful.
No one is a better person or unworthy due to not being educated or having a above the normal standards of language.

If a person can speak and read Latin it does not mean that you should communicate in Latin to be respectful.

Get off the crack chucky and start communicating in a way that common BWM can understand. Then you may get respect here.

Word, Lano. shaka
I’m trying to learn Croatian at the moment and it’s so bloody hard. Respect for those that can speak (let alone write) more than one language.
Hrvatski - Ne tako dobro!
(I don’t even know if that’s right)

It should go without saying that for what I described to be applicable, those involved would be conversing in their native language.

To master any language, the educational process involves not only learning, but repetitious usage as well. That takes a lot of time and effort, so nobody should expect someone’s second language to be as good as their first.

English is my native language. I’m not fortunate enough to have a second language, although I was taught German at school. When I went snowboarding in Europe, I had to converse in German at times. At those times, my lack of education definitely showed through. I’ve bought various items online from countries where English isn’t the first language. Out of respect, I’ve attempted to converse in their language - but at those times, my lack of education also showed through.

That clear it up?

So you’re suggesting that to gain respect, people should ‘dumb it down’ to appease the lowest common denominator?

Yes!

An educated man can always converse on a dumbed down level but not the reverse.
