I can’t stand it anymore

I'm happy 'thru' is a real word now.

Y'all should have tried growing up in the age of the internet and when grammar was out of vogue in the schooling system!

These days I ask myself the simple question: do the mistakes overwhelm the message? It's rarely a yes.

We see lol all the time. Can't help wondering if you-all are really laughing out loud.

LQTM. Laughing quietly to myself

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

Yeah, this is what happens when people loose their dictionaries. But then, we've all stood in lines with signs that say "10 Items or Less."

People could sign up for a free Grammarly account and install a Chrome plug-in that will make suggestions as you type in forms such as this.

I assume you're referring to use of "less" when "fewer" would be more appropriate. Drives me nuts too. But hardly anybody pays any attention to this anymore. Many decades ago, I had to learn the difference between shall and will. But today, I couldn't tell you, nor do I care. It's now a dead part of our language.

I've seen entire paragraphs with nary a comma.

My punctuation and spelling are so poorly, I just can’t help it. Sometimes spell check screws up. Try typing in the word zerk, as in the fitting you pump grease into. It ends up coming out “I greased all the zeros on my tractor”. Any misuse of the “English” language, overuse of “quotes” and misspelings may or might not maybe intentionally.

I sympathize. At math, I am almost dyslexic. I can easily transpose digits.

People my anal retentive ways can no longer handle the spelling mistakes.
You are not peddling a bike (selling?) You pedal. When in motion you are pedalling.
When you want to stop you use the brakes. Not breaks, that happens when you stop and rest.
Tongue in cheek all, relax.

Pedaling has one L.

I spend more time struggling with spell check than writing. It tells you what´s wrong
& then ´you´ have to guess what´s right.

Not in British English.
