I have some pet peeves about "borrowed" content when misused for instance, E. L. James and her "fanfic" that was nothing more than a poorly written "bodice ripper" imho or if there's blatant "I haven't read/watched the source material, but nobody minds. Tee hee tee hee." If it's done so poorly that I would throw the pages across the room if is was a printout, I would stop reading anything by that particular author. Otherwise, I'll ignore the theft to a point.

Ditto if there are too many misspellings. I'll pause if there's confusion between homonyms or if there's a possible slip of a finger on the keyboard before continuing, especially if the poster is what is sometimes referred to as ESL I'll give them more leeway or the poster has a legitimate LD/their spellchecker misspells the word in autocorrect had that happen to me with autocorrect a few times myself.

It would be easier to answer your survey if you posted "Other, will explain in comments" in each question, since not every situation is the same or has a pat answer like the ones listed. I apologize for being a tad long-winded.

Write in responses are nice, but this format only allows a few words. Making a comment is your best option when needing to clarify or expand on an answer.
