    "cuz" it's obvious. I think you meant the word 'because', but I won't hold it against you.

    This time you actually needed a comma: "To each their own though, right?"






    See how annoying it is to correct spelling on a forum Ben "Big Baby" Davis?

    If you're going to go all "grammar nazi" on people then you had better be prepared to keep your writing pretty much fucking flawless. And yes, I clearly support dumbing down the country; the dumber everyone else is the smarter I look.

    Also, it should be "To each his own..."

    And not sure, but shouldn't it be "...support the United States' efforts" [apostrophe after United States]

    And "than allow poor grammar", rather than "then allow poor grammar".

    Really, though... he just made it too easy. He had to have been pulling our chains.

    It's "douchebaggish," not "douchbaggy."

    Just sayin', lol...

    I give a rat's ass about proper grammar on a message board. Spelling, too. But 99% of all criticism I post is intended to be constructive, and is usually meant with good-natured ribbing.

    But what if he meant to say, "I prefer to teach and educate, then allow poor spelling and grammar?"

    Sort of like Nate wanting the youngsters to learn how to play slow before they play fast, lol?

    Perhaps he was being ambiguous on purpose, to allow both readings?

    That man is a Shakespeare!
