I am online a lot. I am on YouTube nearly every day, I do a lot of research, I check my emails on different platforms, I interact on Mylot, I add something occasionally to Facebook, etc. I am also a member of a writing site and have been for many years. I used to edit people's writing too. I am always seeing others written passages. Comments and such. But the thing that bugs me is the lack of good grammar and capitalization. I can recall when I was learning my alphabet, and when I was learning cursive. Alot of practicing to get the caps and lower-case letters right. ALOT. Now I see young people and older ones alike making no attempt at good grammar. It is sad to me. It is how we communicate. 
Yes, I guess I could find something more important to gripe about couldn't I? And I do. Haha

Well, yes, it does bother me. But some more than others.
Like, if it's just minor - one or two mistakes here and there... As long as what's written can still be easily understood, it's fine, I guess.
I could comment to correct it, and sometimes I do, but sometimes I don't.
What really does bother me is when someone writes a whole block of text, but there's no punctuation, or no effort to at least put some spacing between what should be paragraphs. Because those can really become hard to read and understand especially the bigger the blocks of text. 
Also, could of, would of, should of is annoying. 
It's have, people! Have, not of!

I don't think people understand (or care) that many of them are tracked around the internet all of the time. If it were me, I would want to present myself in a more refined manner.
Some are really bad.

English was my favorite subject and about the only one I did well in.

Yes. Spelling, punctuation and grammar errors really stand out to me. Entries with a lot of typos annoy me too.
