We all have our own style of writing.
Spell check is amazing.
We all have our annoyances.
Let's save the fighting for something worthwhile...like Brawl.

Case closed.

This thread is amusing. It is just what I need while I wait for my tool's battery to charge.

Y'know...just cool it with all the grammar correcting. An example would be when I made a thread for the Wii Chat Interviews, all Drmario had to say on the matter was that I incorrectly used a '-' and he went out of his way to bring it up.

Uhm, that was just something that was annoying me, I didn't have a problem with it... Jack brought it up, I was just agreeing with him.

I don't correct people, I just really really wish that their/they're/there would be used correctly. I don't totally die inside if it isn't used as it's supposed to... Adam and I have made errors concerning your, where, whatever... They're slip-ups, we know if it's wrong. D:

And if you want to point out my mistakes, be my guest! They all concern past participle... And I frequently use went for gone! And yes, I didn't write those as 'went' or 'gone'! And no, it doesn't annoy me whether you do ". or ." wrong, I'm not that picky.

I'm an art student. That is all.

That time my 'beef' was with Drmario but you still got involved and wasted a post on it. Hell at least you posted things in that topic like questions but Jack...all he does is correct people and post pictures.

Don't twist what I say.

Jack is brilliant! He can be stuck up all he likes because he actually has bought himself a title.

But you have pointed out grammar, I have before to LiK I'm not denying it.

"How am I related to her?" I believe I've heard comments along those lines.

Yes, I have! I think me and Tyler both have had our share of grammar jokes, but I can't fish them up right now... Yeah, I said me and Tyler, oh boo hoo.

My sister gets my sense of humour, she has a reason beyond ignorance for her spelling mistakes... And she tries to write properly, I have to give her points for that. If I knew her online, even though we're stupidly alike I would not speak to her because of her bad spelling, timing and whatnot, they affect conversation.

...And that's just how I choose people to talk to online.

Correct people and post pictures?
Interesting.

Yes, I post photographs when relevant.
I do correct grammar, but that's pretty rare. There's MANY a time I could have corrected people, but have I? I'll save you a job and answer that for you.

No, I don't.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to, but I don't.

And I post more than that, I just don't go through all the wii sections as much, they don't really interest me a lot.

Oh, and I don't think I'm better than everybody at all.

On topic:

I do judge people on their grammar, especially over the internet. Ppl hu constntly mis out vowels, or shortn wurds, or jus replayce leterz cuz dey swnd cool, Piss me off.
Good grief, that must be the worst attempt at writing in slang...ever.

I think lack of grammar shows laziness. You can put in a tiny bit more effort, and write in complete grammar. I do it, and it doesn't take long at all. I also think it's worth it, people take you seriously when you use grammar.

There's a lot of things I'd like to say right now about a certain someone, but, in this case, I don't think I'll say anything.
