To be fair we all make mistakes in life including with our grammar, should we be hung drawn and quarterd for it? The Grammar Nazis will say yes but as long as you can read the text so what, it's not the end of the world is it?

I can't stand people who put hyphens in the word "uneducated." You're like twelve, FuSioNzPS3. Stop talking.

@OP: You might want to research what "inflict" means. You're thinking of influence. And, to answer your question, of course it influences what people think of you. While you're on the Internet, you communicate through writing. People with poor grammatical habits typically fail to communicate efficiently, and thus, people think poorly of them or undermine their intelligence.

My brother is twenty years old. He has dysgraphia (a writing disability), yet he's one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. He's double-majoring in political science and economics in the near future. I feel as if we often overlook people who "typ like this al the time, and use periods as commas. you know what i mean?" Sure, they can't form a beautifully worded sentence like some, but that doesn't mean they're retarded. There are some special cases, (i.e. my brother).

well said, I myself have "Dyslexia" (had to look on google to spell it), people say ok if you can't spell just use a spell checker, why wouldyou say that, if I can't spell and have trubble reading, how is a spell checker going to help when it gives you more words to chose.

So as for grammer, I have to when writing on paper put a capital D or B as I can't tell the difference, I don;t really know how to use , or ;. I use there for every kind of there thire or the other one.

But I know my IQ is high, as I have been tested to see what's wrong with me, if I was to speak to you in voice, you wouldn't know it was me typing, as some of the words I want to use I don't know how to spell, so I speak different to how I do in real live then I do on the internet, but I do try and spell and use grammer as best I know how to, this dosen't mean I don't have a good IQ.

Does grammar really influence on how people think of you?
In my opinion it's a yes, because without good grammar, people "wuold t4lk l1ek th1s 4ll th3 t1m3" and well, that's annoying, so grammar, does it influence on how people look at you?

Using bad grammar doesn't automaticaly mean your uneducated, it odesn't mean either that you spell each and every word with numbers.

I've said this before and i'll say it again, people come onto this forum to have a good time, not to be lectured by some dickhead on how to spell. Abbreviating words saves time and effort and makes conversations a lot quicker an easier to word out.

Stop being a drama queen, I gurantee if you ever try and correct someone's grammar on the street you wil be punched.

Sorry I'm really not trying to take the piss, but what the F dose that say, anyone wanna help me out here? really I'm not taking the piss

I kinda get this bit:
