Seeing how much people like to be grammar nazis here, a trait which I tend to share, I thought I'd provide this wonderful link.

Oh HELL no.

Not in my house. My kids get books before junky plastic toys. I had tons when I was a kid, and as a result, I love them and I have decent grammar to boot.

Seriously, I could not even read what you posted above it was hurting my eyes.

I know I am not alwys perfect, but I am picky as hell when it comes to grammar, punctuation, even diction. SOmething I am always picking out, and yeah I'm a bit irrational about it but hey, I find people ususally take me pretty seriously when I speak nicely use my manners, and speak properly.

Ah well I'm a tight-ass that way

I don't blame you. Bad grammar pisses me off too. ;)

And for the record, that incoherent babble I posted was rather difficult...I actually had to think about how to misspell words and all that. It's easier for me to simply use proper English.
