I will never understand those who argue that their poor grammar or spelling should not be used to judge their education or intelligence. Here at GC it's all we have.
Every time you write -whether on a computer, a phone or with a quill pen - you are presenting yourself. Why in the world would you (deliberately) chose to not present your best self? You would also have the advantage of not having to go back and defend yourself from the observation that your writing style does not meet the standard for a college graduate, never mind a lawyer. We have several lawyers on GC who consistently post well-written posts, even though we are not paying clients. But fear not - I won't point out your many errors. I save editing for paying customers.
"Welcoming" does not equal "not pointing out errors or stupidity". Welcome to the internet, where if you are going to be thin-skinned about criticism you'd best not post.
eta - Aw, look at you playing posting police - complete with the "you have no life outside GC" chestnut. May we look forward to a flounce soon?
