Depends, really. Clarity of language helps a point be more readily understood. That said, nitpicking typos and the like is just scoring cheap points. But there is a point where bad spelling and grammar hurts an argument because it's not clear what is being said.

this PSA was brought to you by Editors Untied... er, I mean United. Dammit!

I can live with some bad spelling in a thread - but when the Thread Title is misspelt I just think what a dum dum. And all their statements are worthless after that.

Edit: oh the irony this Thread title is misspelt lol. And I don't think the OP is a dum dum. I find the moaning Threads often have misspelt titles.

Seems there's a final last ditch effort to promote the toxic Open narrative just prior to Tuesdays update.

The usual faces, usual spelling inconsistencies. Easily countered with the correct Forum PvP loadouts.

Yaar Cmdrs.

Damn, one of those Days again?

Folks swarm a hotspot to gank everyone they deem easy enough, only to see Players actually reporting that in the Forum?

Those "Open isn't so bad, it's all lies! Seriously! I swear! Nothing but propaganda!" responses almost sound like Politicians getting caught red-handed - again :D

Ye know how that makes ye sound like an intellectual snob? What does grammar have to do with making a point? Does bad grammar mean the point or argument is invalid?

PSA...is it time fer me meds yet nurse?

It just helps to understand what you are saying. I definetly take twice as long to read your posts.

The usual indignant parody threads too, I see.

Oh I agree, the context of an argument does indeed need to be clear...being a grammar national socialist though is just sad and pathetic nitpicking...thats attacking the poster rather than the post which is a trolling tactic ^

I'd say that pointing out grammatical errors is good as long as it is not used to disqualify arguments.

It was a hyperbole.

Which generally isn't something happening on these forums, the usual meme being "solo and private groups are actively molesting me", which makes things even more curious.

You seem to have a particular interest in 'molestation'.. Your other post reverenced Puppets and molestation. Have you got issues? Or is it something else?

There's an errant space between your quote mark and your letter. Additionally, it should be a lower case letter, not upper case, even if you are trying (really lamely and, in fact, wrongly,) to correct someone.

Another womble for the collection.
