Online Classes

Does anyone else notice the poor grammer in forum posts? Half my class posts are impossible to read with the poor spelling and grammer. It drives me insane

[QUOTE]I teach a couple classes that are blended...twice a week in the classroom and once a week online.  I<strong> finally had to put a clause in my syllabus that said I wouldn't reply to any e-mail that contained text speak</strong>.  It hasn't really worked, but I'm trying. I had a nightmare once that I e-mailed one of my PhD committee members and it was so poorly proofread that he told me he wouldn't be on my committee and I needed to drop out of school.  Needless to say, I go over each e-mail I send to him very carefully!
