The first sentence should be split into two sentences, as the first half is a question (missing the question mark) 
Try:
"Can hardly anyone spell these days? It's not just predictive text's fault."
See how it's easier to read and makes more sense? Thanks for your input on grammar though. |

"My spelling or grammar is not the best for sure, but if it causes people concern just move on by, it's a small part of me and I'm much better at alot of other things! "
I don't mention it in general, but when someone makes a big deal about other people's grammar, while making mistakes himself, he deserves to be corrected in public! |

Your right.
Although next time you should say "can anyone hardly" instead of "can hardly anyone"
It just sounds better.

Err! Is there a reason why you've put an apostrophe in 'text's'?

Usually I'd steer clear of pointing out meaningless error but your post is grammatically incorrect in many ways. You are quite fond of splitting infinitives, it seems. |

Tell your friend that texts without an apostrophe is a plural and denotes more than one text.
Text's with an apostrophe denotes possession. In this case the text's fault/the fault of the text. He is right to use an apostrophe. |

Honestly I dont think it should make any difference if you use grammer or make spelling mistakes this is a swinging site not an english exam. None of us are in school anymore.
I dont have the best spelling in the world or use grammer correctly simpley because I went to a shit school and ended up being more naughty than listening to teachers and yes it is my own fault. But since I left school I earn decent money for what I do and I feel im doing alright in life. It also makes no difference to how good I at sex.
You shouldnt judge people on this that person could be the nicest person and give you the best sex you have ever had but you will miss out just because they didn't use a question mark at the end of a question. Its sad really |

People can use it as a filter as they see fit.
If you are hot, people will be more forgiving.
If you cannot be understood, then you will struggle. |

Its too easy to be critical of others. Perhaps trying to be constructive without being dickish to them might help; people have different abilities, grammar may not be one of them.
Or you could just not give a shit and get on with it. |

If you can understand what someone is trying to say then why belittle them?
Is it for a personal ago boost at there expense.
Or is it your just a anorak wearing sad act?
There's some people on here with issues and there way of therapy is to put other's down.
I would rather meet someone with bad grammar than someone that's a arrogant sad act womble. |

As long as i can get the jist of what is being typed i really couldn't give a flying toss how grammatically correct it is.
Sometimes it needs to be re-read several times to make it make sense but thats fine.
Text-talk however boils my piss. Its lazy and it makes me feel old  |

Have to agree to a certain extent! Too much reliance on people having to ‘ work out’ what some ‘ slate scratcher’ is trying ( sometimes not very well !) to say .
It doesn’t say much about you if after 30 years on the planet and what you learned in that time IMO .
If you can not structure a reasonably understandable sentence ? I class that as just plain bad manners ! Why should someone have to ‘ decipher’ it ?
Course people can just ignore it and leave the ‘ knuckle draggers’ where they are round the campfire !
Fear not ! No one is perfect! ( a lot of the above was tongue in cheek btw !) .
Solution is available though! just download a free bit of software called ‘ Grammarly’ for use on laptops and desktops . It works fairly well despite being quite ‘ America’ .
Mobile phone users / tablet etc?
Well .. you folks just need to pay more attention to detail and less to your private parts !
