Also, let me add that I am a stickler for grammar and spelling. I certainly make errors too, but I almost always catch the multitudinous mistakes that so many who post here make. I think it is unwise to criticize others of sounding ignorant because of such mistakes, as I know many intelligent people who make language errors, there are patrons here whose first language is not English, and those who criticize make quite a few silly mistakes of their own.

"The others just whine."
Congratulations, not a single accurate correction so far.
Even if all of those had been actual mistakes, only an Aspie would start comparing those few missed commas to a TEXT WRITTEN IN THE STYLE OF SQUIRRELKING.
I feel like I'm picking on twooffour a lot, but I continue to notice that he often seems to be in the heat of these angry conversations. I wish that I could come here, read where I see a new post, and not have to sift through a bunch of worthless arguments over a fictional movie series that we all enjoy.
A fictional movie series as opposed to a real one?
