    Well no, I agree with what you say, but @Catelite does have a point. The reason I made this thread was just to make a few people aware, not to believe that the whole community will read this and magically become A+ English students.

    N0T sUr3 !F IlL!t3RaTe 0r just very stupid. Yeah bad grammar sucks but don't flip on people over it. Just let it slide, because honestly, people are slow to change old habits, especially if it [the change] is in the form of an angered member posting a thread regarding the habit, whether people want to believe it to be bad or not.

    My intentions were never meant to pedantically discriminate every single user who makes a spelling error, and I didn't make this thread because I was "angered". And like I said before, I didn't make this thread believing that everyone would magically become A grade students at English. I made it:

    1. To just let a few who read this understand that good grammar is better welcomed.
    2. Because I could.


    This isn't a PhD level how-to guide. Just perhaps a thread that new users could just know how to become a good user should they wish to.

    Its a great thread, but those who would benefit from this won't actually read it at all unfortunately.

    Nonetheless, its a great thread and I do hope it makes an influence.

     Seeing as this is a grammar thread, I thought I might remind you to capitalize the first letter of your sentences and the word 'I' as well as to put a comma before "unfortunately" when it is used as a minor interjection.

     Well you said "That was deep" So i thought i would show you something deeper. I also linked it with something relevant to the topic.(In a way) Honestly i just dont feel welcome here anymore. Thats why i left for a good number of months. As soon as you start too feel comfy here someone ruins it X_X Plus my best friend dosen't come on here anymore. Really the only reason i keep on coming back is because its a great simulator.(And the reason i dont leave the forums is because in a way its like youtube.)

     I agree it is a great thread and sadly more or less not they wont benefit from it due to parties not reading it all.
