How important

[NoMercy]

is punctuation?

Honestly, I cannot make out what people are saying sometimes, such is their lack of the aforementioned. I'm not being pedantic - but I really struggle to discern what people are saying.

I bet I know who'll be the first to answer this ! ;-)

[NoMercy]

But you know what I meant, no?

Yes.

the problem with the French is that they do not have a word for entrepreneur-------------George Bush

Yep, knew what you meant, and I think that's one of the important things, minor mistakes in punctuation and spelling don't matter as long as the question/answer is still readable and understandable.

Total lack of punctuation and/or text speak is just not readable to anyone over the age of 12 though!

It's strange we need punctuation to understand a sentence, but not the word spelt correctly.

Good link, Vulcan !

Punctuation is important to my own typing but does not bother me if others miss it out or make mistakes. It does bother me if the "questions" in Body & Soul go on for too long though!
