Responding to an argument by saying that the topic creator has no grasp of the english language almost defeats the purpose. You are more or less proving you have no ground or understanding of the topic at hand making you look like the idiot.
The exception of course is when the topic creator or target grammer terrorist really does have extremely and almost unreadable english writing skills.
I'm not one to talk of grammer and spelling of course, this is just something that really bothers me.
How do you feel about this? Are there other internet peeves you have?

OBJECTION. Words detected in these above paragraphs are
not in the dictionary, so
you have absolutely no case.
But what bothers me more is the fucking "o rly" shit. It wasn't funny the first time, and it isn't funny now. It still exists, for some reason, and it's about as old as the All Your Base fad. Memes are fun but they shouldn't last forever.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
