People are having a dig, not simply at punctuation, but moreover because your post is difficult to read.

Is it really asking too much to make your post legible??

Are we all wrong to expect posters to have received SOME kind of education and be able to write a paragraph or two??

Typo's and grammar errors are no problem, taking three times longer than necessary to read a post isn't.

Maybe you should find a forum in your own language.

The more people that read a post, the more likely you are to find someone with the knowledge to help you, but if it's poorly written with no punctuation, most people will give up after the first few lines, as it's just SO difficult to read.

Example: I stopped reading your post at the point where I cut off the quote, purely because I found your style of writing too hard to read.

If I wrote a post entirely in French, I'm not sure I'd get many responses either!

Is that better for you Apples2 maybe its your attention span or your slow reading thats why is takes you 3 times as long to read the post. There a name for that DYSLEXIA and as for your capital SOME i have more GCSE's and A levels than you do visits to the dole office. When I 1st wrote it I was not bothered by my punctuation it was more frustration wanting to get it all off my chest

Then perhaps putting it a bit more tactfully in the first place would have been the right thing to do people

That would be correct if you have a solitary GCSE but I get the point you are trying to make

It's unlikely you are more qualified than I (:cool:), but I think I am safe in assuming not one of your qualifications has anything to do with English.

If you have any qualification in English.....god help us all.:eek::eek::eek:

Well may god help you. I have many qualifications about the same amount as you have children. So claiming your family allowance, tax credits, free housing and council tax benefit and watching jeremy kyle is hardly the qualification i am on about. Oxford dictionary look up word SPONGER before your pay as you go internet runs out of money
