Please use proper grammar.

I'm sorry, I find it frustrating when people can not even put the time and effort to spellcheck their posts, or even properly end their sentences.
Please spend some time to make your posts somewhat readable.

Here is an example
i maed this mod it hsa rocket launcers as ar!!!!
WRONG.
Hello there, I have a mod that I would like to share with you. Your primary weapon is a modded Assault Rifle, that shoots rockets instead. Please tell me what I can change about this.
RIGHT!

Yes it takes longer to write. Too bad. If you want people to have semi-respect for you, use correct grammar.

I really don't care about grammar or spelling as long as the message is clear. I think you're missing the underlying problem which are posts that have little value (such as your examples). If you think about it, both the wrong and the right examples that you provide are both pretty low quality.

Well, I (most likely) fixed most/all grammar issues there.
Also Zap, you are probably right there. However, It does make it a lot easier to decipher messages when the post is free of spelling/grammar mistakes.

The important thing is the message. Spelling is needed, grammar is preferable, and punctuation outside of periods is unnecessary for a clear message. However, things like this deliver the message quite clearly, even without the grammar:

Yeah, proper grammar. That's what school's for, and if you can't bother to put it to any use, I hope your parents aren't paying for your education. Laugh out. loud.

Considering I took that quote from a spam bot, I'm not entirely sure the message was all that clear, no matter that some may attempt to interpret it.

Yes! Thank you for please making this post! Mac OSX comes with a built in spell check. USE IT! It is okay to use abbreviations if you want, but use them in the proper context! I feel like everybody here learnt how to speak by watching Arby 'n' the Chief!
We should start using 5 minute bans for people who use poor spelling and grammar. USE THE FUCKING SPELL CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hypocrisy hypocrisy hypocrisy...
Wikipedia wrote:Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie.
Such an interesting word... I find we live in a world where it can be used quite liberally! But I'm sure it applies to no one here.

Wikipedia wrote:Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.”
