Wtf? What is it with the folks on SW - why do you have to correct my grammar all the f$*^ time?

This is not a poetry or story writing competition!!!!!!

Just know that your opinions won't be taken seriously with bad grammar and spelling. It's a way of saying "I don't take my thoughts, or myself, seriously."
@Ynotisay: but that presumptuous to think that everyone on here are American or English speaking or even just saying because your grammar is bad you will not be taken seriously is offensive . This is not a forum for USA citizens to try to make it as English authors but rather a place for people all over the world to express their experiences,thoughts and feelings.

@TwinklelilStar: You're right. It's presumptuous. And that's because you're writing in English. It's an obvious presumption.
And no. Not taking an English-speaking person's opinion seriously due to bad grammar isn't offensive. It's wise. I don't mean an opinion about their favorite ice cream. I mean an opinion about something that matters.
It's about considering the source of what you read and see.
Now that I know English is not your first language my first reaction is respect. It's hard to learn a second language and takes a certain amount of strength to use it publicly.
unfortunetly it will never change the stereotype of people who makes mistakes in english are not bright. I have a love hate relationship with this country. Most people pretends to be liberal but many are polluted because even though they dont discriminate against race or sex they discrimate in other ways.

You know that you shouldn't ever use multiple exclamation marks? Besides that was a declarative sentence and not an exclamatory one.
You are hilarious!

@TwinklelilStar: Not serious - just teasing.
