I should start up a new thread about how irate I get in the presence of unclear pronoun references.

They still teach it. Most people just don't care, and a lot of the punctuation/spelling mistakes are just that, mistakes. Doesn't really bother me unlsse thye tlkas leik tihs THAN maybe I'll decide to just skip over it.

Dogs of War need freedom! They need a big area to run, you cant fence them in!

Unbelieveable!!

So the people who actually take the time to write properly need more education than the ones who don't?

Well clearly your reading comprehension would be so incredibly low, I doubt properly punctuated and spelled things would be all that easy for you.

And the world is doomed because people are concerned about "you're/your" instead of things like corn shortages, etc...

And I don't think anyone, especially the comedy police, appreciates "jeebus christmas"....

No, the world is doomed because stupid people are going to eventually be making the rules using logic like yours. Logic which at its heart is nothing but an excuse for mediocrity and laziness.

Yeah, because informal posting on a message board, which is basically the pub scenario for lazy asses who don;t go out socializing/people who work jobs with little free time, is the standard that we as a civilization should strive for by nit picking spelling and grammer about 3 topics up from where grown men buy star wars dolls and post pictures of them. I like to the presumption that a well worded law is better then the law itself.... Oh my, Orwell would of loved this thread.

Honestly, just think what could be accomplished if you guys put this energy into something truely worthwhile that could positively impact lives instead of just being a snooty ego stroke.
