            I think every post in this thread is trying for perfect grammar and spelling, or atrocious... No middle ground.

              I find quite amusing that my grammar is better than most of the guys posting here. Especially since I can't even speak english.
              ..and I'm off.

                            Well, I am just the product of the public school system in United States and have the tendency to post stupid responses where I shouldn?t. It?s amusing to read some of topic lines at GFY and, in a post, seeing ?a lot ? spelled like this: alot especially in ?caps? always brings a smile to my face.

                            It is not so amusing to see ?grammar Nazi? in a topic line or in a post ?there must be more fellow Nazi's out there. How about some syntactic cleansing, people!?

                            While I do believe you were just making a fun thread and used the wrong choice of verbiage for your ?grammar policing?, you may have offended a few members of this board.

                            Before everyone else tells me to GFY, I already know.

                                "noone" is another stupid fuckup that a lot of people make. "noone" is actually TWO WORDS...... "no" and "one"... and should look thusly --- "no one"

                                You'd think it would cause a brain disruption for some people to just put a space in there.

                                      We know you can't speak English, you just showed it in the first sentence.

                                        The grammar in some of the posts here is amusing, but what really get me going is the misuse of basic words.

                                        I see things like this too frequently:

                                        "Your an idiot"
                                        "He kicked there dog"

                                        Had I not known how to spell, I never would have gotten out of 3rd grade. I can't imagine an adult making these mistakes. Especially adults whose native language is English.

                                        These make me crazy too:

                                        "Just $99,99" - , and . are NOT interchangeable.
                                        "He get's a lot of pussy" - "gets" is not possessive. Lay off the " ' ".
                                        I like pie.

                                            I see things like this too frequently:

                                            "Your an idiot"
                                            "He kicked there dog"

                                            Had I not known how to spell, I never would have gotten out of 3rd grade. I can't imagine an adult making these mistakes. Especially adults whose native language is English.

                                            These make me crazy too:

                                            "Just $99,99" - , and . are NOT interchangeable.
                                            "He get's a lot of pussy" - "gets" is not possessive. Lay off the " ' ".
                                            That explains why half of the members here are not even at a legal age.

                                                They are here in Brazil and it annoys the fuck out of me.

                                                There, their and they're.

                                                Your and you're.

                                                My personal favorites and it annoys the fuck out me when people fuck that up too. Oh yeah to and too.

                                                      i don't think Ian is English, thought I once saw him say on here that he is a Yank going to school in England.

                                                      no doubt there are many illiterates in this biz, hell, all over the Internet you see people who can't spell or use anything close to proper grammar.

                                                      some of it is just laziness or cyber culture affectations, some people i suspect are just garden variety imbeciles.

                                                      i don't capitalize my sentences, i sometimes don't type complete sentences.
                                                      I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                                        I am an American, not English. Been in the UK for a few years, so my spelling/etc. is sortof a hybrid between US and UK variations.

                                                        Anyhow, there is a point to all of this grammar nazi stuff. I think it has an effect on business. Anyone else?

                                                            That's an example, certainly. Anyone who does work for you that includes writing needs to either know how to write correctly, or have a way to guarantee that the product doesn't make you look stupid. You don't pay a designer so you can proofread their work.

                                                            There is a lot more to this, though.

                                                                That is because this is the age of Nintendo.

                                                                Once upon a time when i was a biz prof i used to set aside 10% of essay marks for grammar. I did it on the grounds that good English grammar is a must in the business world and the students might as well ge tused to it. THEY HATED IT, OF COURSE. Their grammar was almost universally appalling.

                                                                  This is the one thing I can't stand!!!!!!!!!!

There are a number of people on here who I never had a chance to respect, because they always come off as either 8 years old or russian. I bet I'm not the only one.
