If you really want to be pedantic then yes, you can argue that you can't type a sentence together. You can put a sentence together; maybe even pull a sentence together.

I don't think anyone expects perfect English on these pages but it is common decency to write in a manner that, A) means that other people don't have to spend time trying to read it, B ) that it doesn't make our site look like an imbecile's club, C) that you get taken semi-seriously in your request, instead of conversations descending into this.

If people are going to show the level of patience where they can’t even be bothered to hit the Caps button then I shan’t take the time to reply, and many others won’t either. There are no excuses about spelling, hundreds of spell checkers exist and they even sit inside the web browser to make it easy.

No one is going to have a go for trying to speed up a post with acronyms or numerals, but you have a full size keyboard in front of you so we don’t need text speak either as that’s for pubescent teenagers writing in code to each other to prevent their parents understanding. It doesn’t work very well for requesting information on this site.
