I wouldn’t say that Askville users in general have particularly good grammar or spelling. But the AV users who were driven off the site do *. Not that that’s why they were driven off, of course! Nonetheless, I’d say that AV management managed to lose some of their best people. I should probably note that I’m not one of the banished 16, by the way.
The whole subject of people being driven off of websites is extremely interesting to me (I was a refugee from Advicenators before I found Askville), but I can certainly understand why most “native” Flutherers would be sick of hearing about AV. Which is why I won’t be bringing it up except when answering questions that specifically refer to it, like this one.
Plus, let’s face it – it’s just a website. It’s not really worth talking about all that much.
PS – Google toolbar’s spellcheck is great. I love the Firefox feature too, but we’re not allowed to have Firefox at work.
