I think you are very wrong. While I would agree that minor grammar errors should not be a topic and that grammar in the Porch is a non issue, posts that resemble a letter to Santa Claus reflect very little care and attention to a forum that, for the most part, begs a baseline level of integrity.
Many people place a lot of effort into preparing their posts and in doing so, make this forum a very strong one to come and discuss things they might not with their spouse or goofy buddy. If one cannot be bothered to correct the words underscored in red... then they should not be expected to be taken too seriously.
Well-said (per usual) and while I'm completely with you, I just found it somewhat mean-spirited to call someone out on it.
It might have been a little mean-spirited, but the grammar wasn't really the issue for me. The fact that there was a response to a post that wasn't even read left much to be desired. The 'Obama crap' in the response to the post that was a little bothersome. The grammar took it over the top.
Speaking for myself, I probably should have just ignored it... but I am weak and find it hard to do so sometimes.
Getting off topic. But yes, if receiver understands, it works. Hell, we use cute little smiley faces.
Do agree ones message can be compromised if it's not thought out but belittling is not cool. I'm guilty as well. My Eyes are starting to suck and when I type on phone...all kinds of crazy stuff gets posted.
So to get back on subject...NUKES FREAKIN SUCK AND HUMANS CAN SUCK when they want to blow up their fellow humans.
See this issue similar to gun debate. Nukes are here and everyone's not going to destroy at same time . Our nukes keep North Korea in check cause they know if they use one they will be wiped off the earth. Nothing I can do or anyone so just enjoy your limited days. Am anti gun and war but.....
Grammar in threads shouldn't be a topic. Just message. It's not Obsmas fault?
But the fact is, wiping North Korea off the face of the earth with nukes would be the end of most human life, possible the end of all mammal life. This fact should not be overlooked.

Oh, and if I'm going to bust people on their grammar, I should bust myself. It should read, "mammalian life"!

love me some thirty bills unpaid!
i myself take proper spelling beyond what most do. i do not use auto spell check as i uninstalled or whatever it was i had done to eliminate the easy way out. fuck that... dictionaries, dictionaries, dictionaries & if that does not work i will spell it my best using google online dictionary which brings up the correctly spelled word, this being my last resort
i take pride in what i write on here or anywhere, even if a large percentage of my stuff may seem to be insane ramblings or something
i could use a bit of grammatical education in punctuation. my punctutation is not at all correct but is not horrible either. i also write in a poetic asshole fashion 99.2% of the time. i truly work at writing the standard way straight across the way like i am writing right here. frig this

if the terrible leaders/politicians of the planet break out in full on nuclear blastings of one another. writing old school will be a necessity

agree with you, brianlux
nuking n. korea is out of order. it was out of order when we nuked japan. it was the greatest mistaken this earth & man kind have ever saw
probably everyone in n. korea is kind & loving. i mean the vast population is common, good folk. get rid of the one or two nasty leaders... that should be simple if it need be
why blast everyone who is living under control of one asshole leader? fuck that & fuck destruction
