Spelling and grammar

Following on from that thread about correcting others' spelling and grammar, can we have markers next to posting names? Since this is a written medium I think that it would be useful to have rules, amongst ourselves, about the use of language. The markers would denote:

  1. Please be understanding of my mistakes as I have a valid reason for making errors e.g. I am dyslexic, not a native speaker, etc.
  2. I don't give a flying fig so don't waste your breath correcting me.
  3. I would prefer to know about my mistakes, rather than labouring on in ignorance, and will therefore welcome constructive criticism.
