Definitely. In the past, I was involved on message boards for various hobbies and interests I’ve had, several of which were likely to be largely populated by middle-aged-and-above white guys, just based on those boards’ content (model trains, model rocketry, classic Hot Wheels toy cars, etc.). IME, many of the participants on those boards had absolutely atrocious spelling and grammar. Being on those boards made my teeth itch.
