I could accidentally say that my mother is a kumquat, which also would make no sense.
Judging by your avatar, I'd say that would make perfect sense.

It's just that in this day its natural to not worry too much about grammar on the net. And we're not even talking about jumbled up words here, they're on about things like not capitalising an 'I'. While some people may be anal about spelling, this type of mishap won't in any way affect a post.
You can't call it a mishap when you've clearly indicated that you're doing it intentionally.

It's not as simple as that because they came back at me telling me i meant things that i had never written. Twisting ways i had worded things. Like some of the examples i brought up. The words i use are the words i mean, if i don't say things like 'i think you should all change for me' then thats what i meant to not put. But i've had people coming back to me with 'oh so you want us to change for you' type thing. Near the beginning i said how a spelling mistake is so bad, and i got things back saying that you basically have no intelligence if you don't capitalize something etc. So from asking an innocent enough question, people make it personal by stating what a person is if they don't spell the way THEY want. Then telling me how i don't get the way it works here even though more than once i had stated i understood. So if i took care to make it clear i understood, yet still got people repeating themselves that i didn't, just who has made the mistake there. Not me! Bottom line on the subject of this thread though, is that this site would still be good and non-n00bish even if people forgot the odd apostrophe or capital. The odd grammar drop isn't the same as people coming on going 'yo peepz, sims 3 iz da bomb (or not as the case may be) ^.^ w00t'. And it seems to be that people don't want THAT type on here?
That's what you meant to not put? Well congratulations, you not putted the hell out of it.
We keep saying that you don't understand because you are not making any changes in your behavior that show you understand.
Your post above is not 'lacking the odd apostrophe', it's riddled with errors and just damn annoying to read.
This what we DO NOT WANT.
And they aren't asking you to spell the way they want, they're asking you spell things the way they are spelled. Spelling is not
subjective, you nit.

The simple truth is this: these people are not capable of dictating terms to another human face-to-face, so they take the easier (and slightly cowardly) alternative - to attack and gang up on 12 year olds on the internet, who dared to make a spelling mistake.
You do realize that '12s' does not actually refer to twelve year olds, right? Right?

Jenni, some friendly advice. You can't win, as hundreds have found out before you. Don't fight it. Clean up your posts as best you can, and don't argue with the criticisms. Every word you type in your own defense is a word you aren't typing in a contribution to the game.
For most of us, lousy grammar/spelling/capitalization/punctuation/usage is annoying. So at least try, ok?

Hooray! This noob brings us gay pronreaux! I vote we keep this one.
Aforementioned noob does appear to have some authority on gay pr0n, which is a highly marketable skill of course.. It would behoove us to accept him into the fold.
