My idiosyncracies

Bad grammar and poor spelling drive me ape-shit. None of us is perfect, and we'll make mistakes (and typos) once in a while. But if

• you rarely/never capitalize properly (words like england or sentence beginnings)
• u r 1 of those people who have 2 use "improper" abbreviations constantly
• YOU MUST TYPE IN ALL CAPS
• you don't set off vocalized words with quotation marks
• you don't know the difference between they're/their/there, too/two/to, your/you're, etc.

The in-game penalty for repeated grammar & spelling violations is not pretty. Basically, a character the creators of The End forgot about will make an appearance: Azaz, The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Formerly the ruler of Dictionopolis, Azaz smites down those who split infinitives and end sentences with prepositions. I can't image what he'd do to some who violates my petty rules of posting.

Now, having said all that, I don't mind cultural differences. If you're American (like me) and leave the 'u' out of 'colour' that's fine with me. If you're from a Commonwealth country and insist on putting the 'u' in colour, carrying a torch, and riding a lift, that's fine with me, too. If you put a phrase in quotation marks at the end of sentence, I don't care if the final punctuation mark is inside or outside of the final quotation mark. If English is not your native language, that's not a problem. But I don't speak any other languages (at least not well), so you need to be able to understand my posts and I need to be able to understand your posts.
