Could we all post in a way that overuses fancy words such as 'ergo', 'concordantly', and 'thus'?

Your a noob
You: should have learned at school Me: not everyone does learn english at school or simply didnt learn it yet so you can't blame them for having terrible grammar... Thank you for specifying. However, I disagree that not everyone learns English at school - If you're a British/American citizen (which most of the player base are), learning/having learnt English at a basic level is compulsory. It's also unlikely that those of age to talk ingame (13+) would be unable to type in a coherent manner (albeit it may be debatable whether they are rational or not). On the flip side, it's understandable that foreign players may find English a difficult language to communicate with. Having said that, surely they would learn the difference between homophones like 'your/you're' and 'their/they're' after they are corrected?

That's why this is so important. I know from studying French that I'd have a worse time of it if I had to translate it into French first. Translating is kinda differs from the not tiny mistakes the OP talked about. You see, its not to hard to understand what someone is saying even if they make mistakes. If you can't handle someone making mistakes you seriously need to grow up..... Your logic is poorly justified, as you've not explained why someone ought to 'grow up' for criticizing poor grammar/punctuation that should have been learnt at school. Personally, I think it really depends on the severity and the type of mistakes, and if it hinders comprehension and interpretation. Your/you're homophones could be quite easily confused, so I think it's not too much of an issue if someone does confuse the two occasionally (if persistent, they ought to learn the definitions of each word) Poor grammar can make it difficult for the text to be coherent. For example: "Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" If someone talks like that, would you be able to understand what they're saying? English is your first language? How about a 14 year old kid from germany? Or maybe a 16 year old from Spain? They simply never learned the correct grammar/punctuation... I'm dutch and I don't mind if a foreigner doesnt speak perfect dutch... I don't quite understand your point, please elaborate.

I love you're posts. More seriously, I think the occasional mistake is justifiable as mistakes do happen (especially if people are typing at 100wpm). However, if a person is unable to differentiate between them in an essay/exam, or when talking in general, then it becomes a problem.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I typically type without capitalisation/periods when chatting casually on irc/instant messengers, so I don't see what the big deal is about capitalisation of the abbrieviation 'lol'. Slightly more on topic; Standardized tests/exams annoy me. I refuse to believe that they are an effective way to assess a student's ability and comprehension, especially in the case of subjects which are Essay prone. Edit - 'Who cares' as a rebuttal is annoying to me too. If indeed nobody cared, then nobody would have argued about it. If they claim to not care after arguing - why did they argue about the subject in the first place?
