The one that went off on me about minor grammatical errors has finally blocked me

Now I can comfortably slaughter the English language as much as I want.

I try not to be that guy, but I've typed in a couple of times to ask the guy who always starts his questions as 'dose anyone..' for a personal favor that he might learn that a 'dose' is usually an specific amount of medicine, where as does is a state of the 'do' verb.

I don't think I've seen you get too wild with grammatical infractions.

@dirge ah, I don't know if I've seen that user.

A grammar error that usually gets me is having an apostrophe in the wrong place. I know where they go but auto correct doesn't always help me
@caPnAhab oh, that's just typing. I think anyone insisting on perfect accuracy there is a pendant of the highest (lowest?) order. I see some people getting very upset about that and claiming to not be able to decipher even tiny misspellings. I'd welcome blocks from those sorts.

there's certainly room to complain about many incoherent SW people, but being abusive and verbosely not understanding something like 'I didn't do nuffin' .. just... ugh. they need hobbies.
@caPnAhab Personally I'm a fan of the Oxford comma.

@dirge My stance is that this isn't English class. If they type coherently enough for me to get the gist of it, fine by me

@dirge The forums all have some of them hanging around.

@NativePortlander1970 I like the Vonnegut semicolon too.
