too many people have SUCH HORRIBLE SPELLING (and grammar) and therefore causing a large amount of posts to be almost unreadable. so, i think that there should definitely be like... i dont know. something/someone to make posts more legible.

For Internet Explorer (including Avant Browser and Maxthon) users, there is an option to use something called ieSpell. There is an "ABC" button with a check on it for those who use the compatible browsers.
I'm not sure how we could enforce spelling correctly. Using infractions and warnings sounds too extreme. If you see someone posting like "so thsi 1time i gave my sugestion to my fiend and he was all lik eOMG," and you're unsure as to what they're trying to say, then let the member know that you do not understand what they're saying.

i definetly think you have a point. i often find it hard to understand posts sometimes. within the vt rules, there are certain expectations regarding this i believe.

I don't want to create any rules, regulations or infractions for something like this because well...
Thats a slippery slope

really? haha
firefox has its own (and it thinks "firefox" isn't a word, go figure)
(even though my two cents is useless) it kinda can't work. i think illegible spelling is technically against the rules, but everyone makes typos (or misplaces spaces)

Yes, as stated before I would see this as being way to restricting. I politely ask over PM (to avoid thread clutter) if someone's post is completely unreadable.

For someone who is complaining about bad grammer you have alot of uncapatilized "I's" in your sentence.
