Remember that I'm talking about spelling not capitals and commas all the time,
I know that I don't use the right punctuation all the time but I try.

You said grammar, not spelling. Punctuation is part of grammar, spelling is a subject all on it's own.

its acceptable, I can understand you so its fine.

That's wrong.

It should be:
It's acceptable. I can understand you, so its fine.

And you're the one who cares so much about grammar.

I said "acceptable" it seems like you can understand me can't you?
I am not saying ecxceptitbal or some understandable word like that.
Plus I am not saying "I care so much about grammar"
I'm just saying that I care about understanding people.

Oh righto then.

How about a deal: if you stop complaining about people's spelling, we'll stop complaining about your laughable grammar, okay?

I can't stand posts that are unreadable and confusing due to the lack of effort put in spelling.
I put my time in my posts to prevent bad spelling. I sometimes even edit my post if I find a spelling error right after I posted.

That only corrects your own spelling.
It doesn't handle grammar, however.

little public service? I just wanted a discussion about this,
I wanted to hear what people think, (not an argument)
And I already know that somebody is going to quote this and
complain about what I just said.

By "little public service announcement" I meant you sounded condescending in your first post, as if you were reprimanding all those bad internet folk that can't seem to use Firefox and it's spelling plugins properly.

What's there to discuss? Yes, English seems to be a foreign language to the internet -- it's an accepted fact. What else is there to say?
