How to keep the grammatically challenged off the Internet

[SoftHands813]

Recently there was a thread allowing posters to vent about what really ticked them off online. Of course, spelling and grammar topped the list.

So here now is a potential solution to alleviate that thorn in the side:

You say that quite often, but I think the previous poster was injecting some humour into the thread on purpose. Maybe update your catch phrase.

The whole thread is about typos and such. My comment was about the whole thread, not just the previous post. You should exhale sometimes as it helps with maintaining consciousness and clear thinking. My comment still stands and is better than jumping somebody for spelling errors like the resident word nazi.

My favourite are those who write 'could of', as in 'I could of been somebody.' Err... not with grammar like that you couldn't.

And to clarify the obvious, it was not about typos, but incorrect and annoying grammar. Phail x 2.

That was what the smiley face was for. It would have been too obvious if I used Italics.

(I like the rowling eyes more then smiley face)

So can hippos, with their tie died shirts and stupid caftans.

Most italics don't work, they just watch Jersey Shore and dream.
