So, you know, how everybody says that grammar and spelling are the most important things to remember to use in posts, but I've seen other people like, "CORRECT ME AGAIN AND I'LL CHEW OFF THAT LITTLE PATHETIC NUB YOU CALL A HEAD!".

Nobody can win this battle, you don't know what people want, either they say it's a forum and whatever happens in here stays in here so what's the big deal, plus, that it's the interwebs so who the heck cares? And then there are other people, say that it's proper grammar to capitalize my name, and that you can't make spelling mistakes, and bladdy bleddy bla yak yak yak, just going on like an english teacher.

It's an issue, and frankly I don't like how people can go two different ways. Is it just a forum and that when you post it's okay to hang loose a little or must you always stay on top of capitalization and jump on the pathetic others that make those mistakes?

I thought we created a thread that was a list for people who wanted to join a spelling and grammar accountability circle, where people would only correct those who willingly list themselves to be corrected. Or am I thinking of something totally different?

I'll be honest. I only spell terribly and punctuate like a jerk only when I feel in a light hearted mood and the chance arose.

Otherwise, don't toy with my buttons when it comes to it. ICH BIEN EIN GRAMMARNAZEE!

*heils to some random guy on the street*

So what's the happy medium of punctuating high class or typing like a barbarian?

Buhubs, to be honest with you, I've always found your constant pointing out of the littlest errors annoying. Who cares if someone says "too" instead of "to"? From what I see, you should only point out errors if they're severe, or the user just keeps making them.

^Might not make too much sense, but it's 12 at night, so gimme a break.

Neither of those people type on a computer. The high class pay other people to do it. And barbarians don't have computers.

Well, I maybe have overexaggerated on the don't toy with my buttons thing when it comes to grammar. Still ticked off at how homerstar typed before the April Foo's Joke was revealed. I was about ready to find that "kid" and kill his faec.

I really don't see a point for this thread. If another mod disagrees, let him unlock it.
