I'll help you out. Let's start with capitals okay? Somebody, your not racing anyone, and you've got more than a minute to type what you'd like to get across. You can use the SHIFT key when it comes to names and at the start of sentences. 'Kay? I'm not try to be mean or sarcastic, It just annoys me that people have time to write right and well, and they don't.
(Again, sorry. I'll work on it.)

Anyone who spells grammar as "grammer" really has no room to play the end all be all grammar guru.
This is the internet, and while I, myself, wish they wouldn't, people use chat-speak and don't adhere to proper grammatical guidelines 90% of the time. Get over it. This is a forum, not a literacy convention.
The point, dear, is that while you may find it irritating, you could tone down the condescending attitude. It's not cute, nor is it appreciated.
For future reference, if you really want to help someone, don't call them out for all to see (embarrassing, isn't it?). There is a PM function for a reason.

& keep in mind that not everyone speaks English as a first language. If Kindred suddenly became a French forum, for example, I would die & be made fun of 24/7. =O And I wouldn't like that, even if French were my first language. anyway... Guyute, are you going to participate in this contest?  |

Not this time. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, and when you write for a living, the last thing you want to do when you get home is write.
And believe me when I say I'm no artist.
But I hope you all have fun with it.

Spelling and Grammar are different.

they're just smaller parts of a whole: language. so technically they're related. oooo & if you have a problem with the genitive/ownership case --i.e., "cat's" -- then it's both a spelling & grammatical error.  |

Agreed. And just so you know, a semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses, not in the place of a comma. If you're going to continue to correct someone, you could at least make sure your own grammar is in check, first.  |
