Elite Dangerous data : is the game dying or growing ?

It would seem you missed punctuation and grammar classes in school. Why would anything you say be taken seriously when you can't even discern the difference between "their" and "there"? I'm sorry but when someone can barely spell I have to question their intelligence and the credibility of what they have to say. I am not trying to be insulting or anything. I am simply stating how I view your post and I am sure I am not alone.

I love it when people correct grammar on the internet; it gives me a chance to be a proper grammar n-a-z-i.

You might raise your eyebrows and be like "huh?"

Well personally, I feel detached from the galaxy completely.

I'm sorry but when someone can barely spell; I have to question their intelligence and the credibility of what they have to say.

If there were people talking to me, giving me missions, pilots shouting at me as I attack and kill them etc etc(use your imagination), I would feel much more compelled to continue playing, even if the mechanics and grinding remained the same.

Corrected those for you. First of all, "huh?", is a question (if it is, indeed, a word). Also, please use punctuation for tempo; it aids readability. I added a comma to that last sentence, but if it were mine I'd rewrite it; as at the moment it reads more like a stream of consciousness than an English sentence.

It would seem that you missed punctuation and grammar classes whilst at school.

Of course, that's leaving aside the fact that no school I've ever heard of has entire classes devoted to punctuation and grammar.

This is what I am talking about.

First of all; if you're going to refer to something as "this", then you probably want to define what "this" is in the same paragraph at least. "About" is a preposition, and I can never resist this:

EDIT: If you were to rearrange the sentence properly you'd also see that you have used "what" instead of "which". A rookie mistake:

This is it, about which I am talking.

This is all tounge-in-cheek by the way as formal English writing is very difficult to get right first time. I've undoubtedly made numerous errors in this post alone, but the point of language is to convey ideas and as long as this is achieved I really couldn't care less about the structure or technicalities of the method.

+1rep for intentional typo %^]

+1rep even if unintentional typo, since you clearly qualified:

I am not trying to be insulting or anything. I am simply stating how I view your post and I am sure I am not alone.

Since you assert you're not trying to be insulting may I presume that this is just something that flows naturally in your writing?

Why would anything you say be taken seriously when you can't even discern the difference between "their" and "there"?

^ Wow. An absolutely textbook ad hominem.

Yeah, umm, intentional.. that's it

It's like bananananana. I can spell it, I just can't stop spelling it.

It's all about making up arbitrary reasons that they can use to discredit somebody's opinion.

I think the shorthand 'I disagree' is better, it's pithy.
