because nobody likes a grammar nazi. I'm always chiding people for doing it during online gaming. not everyone on the net comes from an English speaking country, and some people who do didn't necessarily have the same educational opportunities that others did. its understandable in RP or some other platform where correct language is par for the course. but in general chat?! all that happens then is the ostracication of the anglo-illiterate, which is just another form of discrimination. "fight the power! down with the grammar police!" now if that was high up on the Black Bunny Party's agenda, I'd sign up right now. BBP for life *fist pumps* yaaay!

Of course. I'm easy on the foreigners. It's the natives who disappoint me.

I had my friend from Hungary correct my English once and it was the most embarrassing thing ever.
I spelled "You're mom is funny" and she was like, "OMG YOUR"
I FELT LIKE SUCH A NOOB.

She's very, very good at English.
She says she's not, but she's really good at it.
And she corrects me, so that just proves that she's amazing at English and needs to stop trying to be modest.

Doesn't it make you feel horrible when your foreign friends know English better than you do??

its because English is a compulsory subject in most European schools, especially in Eastern European countries. and being a Germanic based language, English is easier for Latin based language speakers to learn as it lacks the complexities of a language separated by masculine and feminine pronouns. though that goes more for written English rather than spoken, as spoken English is full of colloquys, slang and expressions which don't exist in many other languages and can usually only be learned through experience. although, saying that, there's a Japanese/English dictionary that translates slang so that Japanese tourist can understand London taxi drivers as they often get offended because they take the slang words/phases literally

Nope, but then it hasn't happened in real-world.
When I was over seas I learned that most Europeans speak the kings English.
No problem, I fell back on school room English.

It's because you put Captkayd under your name. You changed your text. You can reset it, and you'll have the face for your post number milestone, but I don't know how since I never changed my text.
