Maybe it depends on how many other stupid grammatical mistakes are in evidence. The lack of full stops might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
A post without full stops is quite difficult to read. I suppose the same could be said for commas as well. A post is easiest to read when full stops and commas are used.
Around here, even dying can be hard Horribly hard Only death itself comes easy By easy, I mean frequent Death happens so often that people regard it pretty much the same as the never-ending rain
When life itself is hard, you have to be hard to live Even a bitch will cull one of her own pups if she doesn't think he's going to be tough enough—she knows she's only got but so much milk, and there's none to waste
Survival isn't some skill we learned—it's in all our genes Nobody needed to be told to step aside when they saw the Beast coming But not everyone stepped fast enough
There's rock slides Floods, too Those are natural phenomena You live here, you expect them But just because a man's found under tons of rock, or floating in the river, doesn't mean his death was due to natural causes
Folks drink a lot Wives get beaten something fierce Some of those wives can shoot pretty good And some of their husbands never think it can happen to them, even when they're sleeping off a drunk
There's supposed to be good and bad in everyone Probably is But here, it's the bad in you that's more often the most useful
Like the difference between climate and weather Most folks around here don't view a killing as good or bad—just something that happens, like a flood or a fire
That's why a whole lot of bodies never get viewed at all
For a man like me, this is a good part of the country to do my work I take pride in the quality of my work, but I never deceive myself that every death at my hands is justified, never mind righteous or noble
I never saw myself as much of anything, really Just a crippled, cornered rat, trying to protect my little brother with whatever I can
Absolutely. essential. for. ease. of. reading. and. comprehension. but in some cases you can use smilies instead:cool: I dont think that annoys anyone^_^
If you're making a single sentence statement, feel free to punctuate with three kisses xxx
I think all letters and punctuation are important. I hate how some people will type an incorrect letter and just delete it! You should always keep them and reuse when possible. evt .
edit: and there should be some facility so that spare letters can be reused in the next person's post.
Put it this way. For me, lazy posters that can't be arsed to spell correctly and are grammar lightweights, might not be taken seriously.
I can't really be bothered with people (native residents, i.e. English should be their first language) that crucify the English language grammatically and spell like a retard.
DS is full of people that think good spelling and grammar is optional. Not only that, some of them apparently have well paid jobs.

And starting with no capital letter! A disgrace
That probably should have been 'impawtant'.

Omission? That would be removing something not adding it.
That makes a change. So many people here these days are accompanying their posts with an emission.
