    That's not grammar or typo. That's a sin.

    John Stocktin?

    Shack?

      They only happen if you're ******ed and don't know how to spell in my opinion. Look how many people still spell definitely with an "a'".

      If it's an internet posting, I can chalk it up to a typo, but if it's a handwritten note you're just ****ing ******.

      Furthermore, language is a necessity of life. No matter what language you speak, you should at least comprehend it at a high school level, otherwise you just suck.
      Some are more forgiving than others Bringer mah homie. I make gramatical mistakes, either it's because I'm thinking faster than I can type(I'm a pecker ), and type an "a" rather than an "i"(not saying Im who you're refering to, just using it as an example), or it's because I'm being lazy(plus I dont use spell check when I'm on here), or it's because I'm doing it on purpose to piss off a spelling **** . I've also been known to spell words in the fashion in which they sound when I pronounce them, to emphasize the accent I have that cannot translate through text.

      I agree that having a grasp of your particular language is an extremely important tool of life, but to me does not give a 100% accurate account of ones cerebral depth.

      But alas, I am not a overtly critical individual.

        You always struck me as the type who types as he speaks, Chief. Very similar to Mangler in that regard. That's not something that bothers me if it's your style of posting.

        I don't think mastering of a language is at all the "bar" for gauging one's mental acumen, but I DO think that it's a pretty fair indicator of mental makeup as a whole. That said, I realize I probably go overboard with my diehard stance on this issue but that's the way I am with most things. Everything either delights me or pisses me off - There is no middle ground. I'm an extreme personality.

            I dont know why. But I LOVE the word Acumen. Probably because it's a very subtle but strong word.

            I know what you mean bout no middle ground. Mrs. Chief is a Virgo through and through. It's either Black or White, no room from Gray.

              Sounds like the kind of woman I can get along with. She's beautiful, too. You're a lucky man, Chief.

                Thanks Bringer bruh. She's defo ya potna's better half bruh. Wherever I fall short, that woman provides the missing piece, and in return, I find her gray areas for her. She's a total package of a woman.

                  I'd rather someone write correctly but mis-use your/you're etc than use full on text slang (y, ur etc) simply because it makes more sense. Even though the grammar is slightly off, it's still easier to read and understand than shit like "yh i am r u m8 c u soon" or that kinda crap, I can't stand it when I see that shit all over my FB homepage

                    We're past the AOL Instant Message era of Internet, when I for once typed something like this, "hey waddup cuz", in my younger days.

                    All this time spent on forums exchanging opinions, having debates, the least one can do is improve his grammar and sentence structure. I for one can credit improvement from internet more than school. In school, you memorize and learn for the test to make the grades and pass. In one ear and out the other.

                    It's the internet that turned me into a autodidact of sorts. It's all about how one chooses to spend their time on the net. Some spend their hours watching simpleton viral video like "charlie bit my finger" and writing brain farts on Facebook, and others watch, read more informative stuff and use it in message board like this one.
