I agree that people should proof read before they post.

English is a second language for me and I do understand the difficulty
people who do not speak English nativily have trying to express themselves.

But one thing to remember is that a lot of these people only post here for
a few times and never login again.

On the same note, a lot of the posts could be resolved if they just search
the forum -- but they don't.

Besides having written rules, I don't think there is anything else that can
be done to make people write proper English and to search the forum
before they post.

It is like trying to force people to remove their shoes before they enter
your house -- even with a written sign at the door, people will come up
with all kinds of excuses for not doing it.

I guess we have to live with it.
