Still, it’s amazing. I’m awful at anagramming, but I was able to read your sentence without much trouble. I just briefly stumbled on “drastically.”
As for dashes, I have book somewhere at home—a novel, not a stylebook—in which there’s a note about how they’ve decided to swap out all the old-style em dashes without spaces in favor of en dashes surrounded by a space (or maybe a half space).

Grammar and punctuation are important only in order to avoid confusion as to the meaning of written words. People obsess over the “rules”, but they’re really not that important except in formal writing. This applies to spelling as well, but less so, because one generally has to garble spelling a lot in order to make the meaning unclear.
Formal writing is different, but learning to spell properly is not worth my time. If I need to submit an article to a chemistry journal, I can just head down to a local coffee shop and find some some english Ph.D. who I can pay minimum wage to proofread my work 
.
So, you’d rather be viewed as less than intelligent?
I am truly saddened by the tendency I’ve seen lately to not care about “trivial” matters such as spelling, grammar, &etc.
Proper spelling is as important as personal hygiene. You (generic, group “you”) may not agree, and maybe I’m being elitist, but it’s true. How one presents oneself communicates a level of self-esteem.
Make a fucking effort, people. This laziness and shoddiness I’ve seen of late will surely contribute to the ultimate downfall of civilization. First, it’s the spelling, then it’s the punctuation, then, suddenly, mass-murder in the streets. “Oh, it’s only the second-class neighbors. They don’t matter much.”
Cats and dogs, living together . . .
I can’t tell you how often I’ve seen something like this posted:
fcuk of aboutmy, speling, it dozint mater teh hole perpisof langwidj iss comuunikashun!,
OK, I hope we have all been whooshed. If not the OP is one serious anal retentive asshole.
I mean come on. Truley saddened about poor spelling. With all the fucked up stuff going on in the world. Annoyed, sure. Pet peeve, OK. but Truely saddened. Fuckin A, get a grip. :smack: 
:rolleyes: :eek: ;j
cough
You mean either “etc” or “&c” or “&/c,” but not “&etc,” unless you’re saying “and and so forth.”
Surely you would be glad to be rid of the second-class neighbours, if they were the ones who refuse to spell correctly.
Of course, when those people have all been murdered, then the killers might move on to those who type
“&etc.”
and
"to not care "
and who will there be to come to your aid when so many others already lie, dead, fly-ridden and rotting, in every street and alleyway?
Fear ye, fear ye, say I. 
“Doomed! Doomed” We’re all doomed"
But I’m a nice anal-retentive asshole!
Ah, pulykamell, by my troth, thou doth type faster than I, and with a most pleasing minimum of tedious verbosity.
Actually, I think the O.P. is planning to spend an entire lifetime fulminating about English and how she is spoke, and perhaps has not moved on to Latin phrases and abbreviations yet. 
LOLOLOL!!!111one1 STFU n00b!!!1111
All we have seen so far is that you are in fact anal retentive, petty, boorish, and belicose.
Your niceness has yet to be established. :dubious:
Duly noted, thank you.
And, of course, you are correct.
(Just because I’m an A-RA doesn’t mean I don’t own up to my mistakes.)
Bellicose? Perhaps.
Boorish?
I argue that attention to one’s spelling (as well as attention to one’s personal hygiene) is certainly not a lack of refinement.
HARA (the H stands for Honest)
But wondering into a new community and castigating its members about your pet peeve sure seems to indicate a lack of refinement. :wally
I know my spelling and grammer suck…
WANDERING damn it WANDERING
My spelling sucks.
My grammer sucks.
but
My spelling and my grammer suck. Wierd…correct but wierd.
Split infinitives are okay these days. Actually, they’ve always been more grammar voodoo nonsense than anything.
