but i dnt think its in anyone's right to grill someone on their language and spelling on a forum. dnt make the internet a school.
i do however note that this forum seems to mostly use full standard english in most posts. so i could be the exception.
also, don't be so ambiguous about ur socalled proven point. what exactly did you prove?

I dunno, I think language should always be treated with respect. It's not yours to toy with, really. I'm not trying to be a dick, but when you spell things wrong and make needless abbreviations ("u" instead of "you," "prolly" instead of "probably," "your" instead of "you're") you rob the language of its expressive potential and allow ignorance to prevail through generalizations.
Disregard if English is not your native language.
