@VS Actually, it’s funny that you should have written that. This is one of the major differences between this site and wis.dm
Although a big fan of grammar, linguistics and language, I am also a fan of just plain old conversation. Sometimes, you can learn a lot from someone who, say, doesn’t spell very well. I understand a friend of ours from wis.dm was chased away simply because of his grammar skills, or lack of them.
This, I disagree with strongly. I think it is faux-elitism; there should be a place in this ocean for those who make the occasional typos, or even, alas, mis-spell a word. Grammar isn’t everything in life: I’d rather be with him in the trenches or on a deserted Island, than with a bespectacled, whiny skinny little grammar-freak who yells TYPO TYPO as he sinks deeper into the quicksand of life.
But I digress.
