I’m definitely not the grammar police, but I too am blind, and I am perfectly capable of using punctuation. It’s really not that hard.

Dude, use punctuation...

(/s)

If anything, punctuation and correct spelling make more of a difference to us than to sighties; especially those of us who use speech synthesis. People can of course be annoying about it, but it's worth trying to make an effort in learning and using the rules correctly. I hate it when my screen reader sounds like it's going to run out of air, for instance.

+1 for punctuation.

Do you have access to a refreshable braille display?

Honestly I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about. Punctuation isn't that difficult to insert without vision, and it's arguably even more important for screen reader users. I wouldn't expect perfect punctuation out of anyone but commas and full stops go a very long way.

As someone who is not a great speller, I have never been called out here for my spelling. I try really hard to make sure my spelling is correct.

As a blind person, I think it is important to show myself in the best light I can. Most devices have some sort of spell checking, and I am able to use a braille display to help.

I agree w this. Especially in this sub. And you shouldn’t have to explain yourself every single time. Im not blind but i make mistakes in grammar. I misspell. And everyone else does too. People who are harassing you should be reported. They are assholes with nothing better to do w their lives. They are bitter and miserable. Try to ignore them. I know thats hard because it’s personal. Or say what you want to say to them. I would probably have some not so nice comebacks if i was you. Do you. Just don’t stress or give idiots too much power over you.

Hey u/BlindVegan I looked over your content and it looks like some quality stuff! I see you created this account not too long ago. I’m not sure if that means you are a long time lurker, or if you are new to reddit entirely, but let me explain a few things to hopefully get you out of the karma hole you are in.
Reddit is one hundred percent grammar police. It used to be much worse than it is now. Heaven forbid somebody write the wrong word in the title of their post. You’ll see them ripped to pieces in the comments. Perhaps that is what is happening to you. There are no excuses, even for people who are blind.
Second, I see a lot of your content is on YouTube. YouTube is a cesspool of hate. It has a lot of teenage trolls who only want to press buttons to watch people tick. Don’t feed the trolls.
At any rate, punctuation is extremely important. It seems from your content that you are an intelligent, capable, independent woman with a lot to offer this community. Don’t give anyone any reason to think otherwise.
Go through your post word by word (by using the rotor on iPhone then swiping up or down with one finger, swiping up or down with three fingers on Android, or Control plus right or left arrow on PC). Using dictation is a good way to write a majority of your information, but you still need to proof read.
I bet if you proof read your posts you’ll see negative comments lessen, at least here on Reddit in the right subs. It’ll become second nature after awhile.
At any rate, I’m glad you’re here and posting. Keep fighting the good fight!

This is so annoying I was homeschooled during the third grade when I should have been learning basic spelling so now I cannot spell to save my life and these people make me want to cry there so mean
