Hi, Orpheus.
If I remember correctly, you used to post on the necromancer forums? Welcome to the Lurker Lounge.
Nobody expects you do write great novels or thesis and nitpicking spelling errors often leads you to realize that you probaly have glass windows. However, it's best to not pretend it's IRC which demands a response in .001 seconds.
I don't exactly type in the most elegant way possible, and I don't even profead much. *Dodges flying objects* However, it's a good idea to know what you are going to talk about before you say it. I don't really remember being yelled at despite the fact that I am not a English major or that I won't spend hours on a single post. I spend around 3 minutes posting and 15 editing.
I keep saying to people, if people can't easily understand what you are saying, you're better off not saying anything. It's not like what you write is that awful, but some people have to waste time decyphering it.
Break your ideas into sententces. Puncuation helps. I don't really care if you don't capitalize every single word that needs to be captitalized, but puncuation just makes everything easier. When something gets too long, break it into paragraph. And finally, if it's really too much work, make your posts as short as possible. It's best to be concise.
Another thing is that while some people did not really have the nicest response in crticism, you still have to take into consideration. Just like someone saying "This book is poorly organized and sucks." If enough people say that, you know something is wrong. Of course, being vague is also bad, so make sure they eloborate. I'm not saying they are right in doing this, but attacking back just shows oversenstivity. You don't have to take their advice. But like I said, if enough people complain, you can't deny there's something wrong.
See you around.

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
