Tex speak, spelling, and general punctuation

I know its in the forum rules and numerous posts have been highlighted with this in mind, but is there any way of putting in a pop up when a post is being submitted like a spell check or something? I'm finding it very hard to read some posts due to terrible spelling or punctuation. I don't think its an excuse to say that 'I'm not great at spelling' as there is a spell check in every pc, and to be fair unless you're a 4 year old who is not going to school yet then there is no reason for not using proper grammar or punctuation. I'm really tired of trying to read posts that I actually feel physically drained from trying to interpret them and give up most of the time, even when it could be something of benefit to me or something I could help someone with.
Thanks.

Theres not much that can be done other than flagging common text speak words and having the forum word censor change them accordingly (or enforce the rule in terms of warnings / bans). I don't think its got out of control just yet, personally, I just don't bother reading a post if it means I have to deploy my mental decryption algorithm...

There's a big difference between a genuine spelling error and the excrement some people type. The odd word here and there isn't too bad but when every word is indecipherable it gets annoying!

+1 - couldn't agree more. What surprises me is that there are so many teenagers out there driving FTOs
