If I had to judge you based purely on your misuse of common words and punctuation, plus grammatical errors, I'd say you're an idiot.

But if I judged you on content, I'd say you're fairly well-educated and have something to contribute to the forums.

Judge people based on the content of the message and don't get stuck in the weeds of pettiness. Some of the smartest people I know are spelling and grammar challenged to say the least. But they are mechanics, engineers, and the like who can do things I can only imagine and envy them for their abilities and brilliance.

Finally...I read this whole thread. I have to say I agree with Spicy for the most part. Sure, this is a public forum and we can understand a post if someone uses incorrect spelling or grammar, but it's a pain in the ass. If you can learn the proper way to use a word, what's the drawback? Do people WANT to sound ignorant?

Anyways...can we get to the real problem??? Nobody has addressed the apostraphe catastrophe. THAT bugs me more than to, two, too...or than, then, or their, they're, there. Plural words do not need apostrophes. Just because a word ends with an "S" doesn't mean it automatically needs an apostrophe. This is a huge trend. STOP IT! Thanks. :flowers:

It's a catastrophe you spelled apostrophe with an "a" and used the slang "anyways." :jameo:
