Please stop. I dont spell right 42% of the time, and i could care less. If im getting the point across what does it matter if i use were where or wear right? I understand that in a heated argument, its easy to point out the flaws of someones spelling, but please, please, PLEASE stop. It's so annoying to type out something to someone and get a response back saying, "its you're* btw" . Please stop. Anyone else with me on this one?

I'm with you on the fact that grammar Nazi's are annoying.
I'm not with you when you say spelling doesn't matter as long as you get the point across.
It doesn't matter to you, but to everyone else reading your post you look like a moron.
Your point will have less value intellectually and people won't take it as seriously.

So for the sake of using the correct word, is it really that hard?

i agree, but when you are in an argument its fun to piss the other person off and correcting their grammar is the easiest thing to do and it throws there game off :3

Your spelling and grammar errors are more annoying to Grammar Nazi's than Grammar Nazi's corrections are to you.

People tend to look for common spelling errors in your responses when they are out of ideas in an argument. I think I understand what you're saying with the term "grammar Nazi" but as long as your responses seem professional with no errors people cannot seem to judge you for it.

I'm not saying to write like Shakespeare in all your responses, but writing in a suitable format to match your responses will not attract attention to them.

I think grammar nazis help us out with spelling so I think it is good that we have them around.
Better to learn how to spell correctly earlier than later.
I am also not saying I am good with grammar by the way.

you know that grammar nazis that correct you for it being annoying to read for them often have an OCD, sure it might be annoying for you but correct spelling and grammar is important.

You are trying to be a Grammar Nazi yourself!?

You should have added an comma between 'post' and 'you'

Not to mention that you should not have the 'ly' after 'serious'.

Also, get out of here with that Gay Pride. Seriously?


Hahaha, where did I try and correct grammar?
Where did I say I care if people find my posts intellectually gratifying?
I didn't.

So sh.
