When I write an essay or research paper i make sure to properly punctuate every sentence. But being that I am not attempting to impress anyone, and since I am not being graded on my writing, I believe that as long as my message is received, my goal is accomplished.

Now please stop picking apart everything I type, it is not productive and merely shows how petty you truly are.

You missed three, and made two grammatical errors.

Weirdly enough, like most things, if you don't practice you don't get good at it.

If you understand how these things work, you'll know there's more to a message than the content. If you fail to spell words correctly, and punctuate and use grammatical phrasing seemingly at random, your point will be obscured by the overwhelming sense that "this guy doesn't know what he is talking about, as he isn't demonstrating any intelligence."

This is why when you're spoken to by someone who seemingly knows his stuff he isn't wearing an unwashed wife-beater and ripped jeans, or sluring his words in an unintelligible mush. Form is important.

Derail over.

Okay, you win. Are you happy now? I will admit that I do not enjoy punctuating everything because it tends to slow me down. I also admit that I am very arrogant and love to argue with everyone. Perhaps we think differently. For example, while you value proper grammar and punctuation and practice it, of the two, I value grammar more highly in every day life. I believe that intent is more important many times than the action committed. A situation can warrant poor behavior for example, just as I thought that a forum would be accepting of less than perfect writing/typing. It appears i was unfortunately mistaken and I will make an honest effort to correct my mistakes in the future.
