I will sometimes get to typing too fast and the first two letters will be capital and the rest lower case. I try to correct it as I see it but some times I miss it.

It's one thing if you have the errors in "personal" life but when I see this shit at work, I have to question who wrote it. A friend/co-worker and I go back and forth with correcting our mistakes before we send all user emails out to make sure nothing is screwed up.

Agreed. And school work too. I can't believe some of the stuff I see posted online for our online classes. That should not be tolerated in college level courses.

As sad as it is I've heard many stories about high school teachers not marking work down for spelling and grammatical errors, except specifically in English classes.

Not that im a writer, or even good with grammar, but my English teacher used to stress that many people needlessly use extra words when they dont add detail and arent required to make the sentence legible.
