    This boils my p**s completely. Please, to those who write 'of' instead of 'have'
    What is wrong with you? Serious question, do you honestly think it is 'of', or is it just laziness?
    I'm not usually bothered by something like this but I just see it so regularly now.

    Not knowing the difference between your and you're is worse, I think.

    Someone wrote recently as a form of insult,

    "Your very stupid"!

    I generally find these kind of people have anger issues. If some grammar errors "boil their pis!" i'd worry about their mental state

    ^This. How over the last couple of years have so many people lost the ability to differentiate between lose and loose? I have a friend who uses loose exclusively when he means lose, and you see it on Boards alot (another one that drives me mad).

    One of the, self-appointed, mullahs in the ‘Someone Unusual You Fancy’ thread made a similar “statement” while questioning the intelligence of others.

    I mean, the irony.

    Yeah similar. I often edit afterwards to put things right way round and the number of eejits who get their knickers in a knot over somene daring to use the edit function is truely bizarre. :rolleyes:

    Only noticed this in the AH charter the other day :D
    Grammar nazis not welcome
    Not everybody is as perfect as you are. Some people have learning difficulties. Some people are dyslexic. Some people are stupid and finally some people just don't care about their spelling and grammar. It's not your job to police them.
