It's probably wrong of me, but I judge the intelligence of people a little bit when they type things like "than" or "you're" when they mean to say "then" or "your."

Yeah, I know what you mean. I try to overlook it and not be judgemental. I know I can often make the same errors when typing fast and just streaming my point across. They're easy mistakes to make when you're rushing. 

Then again, I pretty much always proof read before posting.

Yeah, I try to give benefit of the doubt, but it's tough.

your correct!
You got me on that one! I have no issue being called out;
I like to pride myself on my grammar and spelling? However sometimes when multi-tasking my spelling and grammar is effected.
But it is no ones fault but mine. I take soul responsibility for my poor use of "your" and will try to do better next time. Until than I will have live with this mistake!

Says the guy who uses "wanna" and dash instead of a comma!
But you do score points for alliteration!

I do not type than instead of then.-Spelling and grammar are not the same.

I assume all the mistakes in this post were intentional.

Just a follow up. I heard back from GG and the asked me to uninstall and reinstall the app, and wala it is fixed. I am not sure why I didn't think to do this. I guess I am slipping...

Wala?

Maybe don't use words if you don't know how to spell them.

How do you know he wasn't praising Wala, the aboriginal sun goddess?

Then he should have capitalized it, otherwise he'd still be eligible for this thread.

Seems (what I've perceived to this point as) the light-hearted tone of this thread has been missing the last few days.

There's no such thing.  It's voilà. But hey, if hukt on fonikz werkd for yoo, kool.

Generally speaking (to nobody here), I'd think people would want to improve their writing. If someone types "you're" when "your" is the correct word, people judge them as dumber than they may be. If you send an email to your boss and it's full of grammatical and spelling mistakes, you might very well be fired.

On one hand, the point of communication is to be understood, but on the other… you don't want to come off as a dumbass, either. We all make typos or go back to edit a sentence without realizing you've now messed up the grammar, or type in a hurry from time to time, but that's entirely different than some other situations where you're just making a dumb mistake, especially when it's one you could learn not to make in the future.

"Wala" was basically a written sound effect at best. It was not meant to be any particular word. I do however understand the need for proper grammar. It was not intended to be a word in this case but I will be sure to use "voilà" next time to avoid scrutiny.

My spelling is pretty good, but grammar and punctuation... not so good.

Part of the problem is that upper management and account executives in Corporate America are often the worst offenders. Some of these folks have MBA's but little regard to the importance of appearing professional. A lot of it is probably due to the increased use of phones for correspondence. Everyone is simply becoming accustomed to it. I'm going to sound old, but that shit wouldn't have been well received 20 years ago.

So when I see a typo or incorrect punctuation on a forum, it's not that big of a deal (unless I typed it).

I can't find it, but I'm certain there's at least one in this post.
