Scratch

I can see that you're a stickler for grammar, but looking at some of your comments, you fail to do one thing: consider your audience.

Perhaps you do not mean to come off as mean (and yes, I have read your comments), but do consider the audience before you type in your comment. Some users may be old enough to understand and will most likely accept your corrective comments, while others may see it as useless, pointless and (in the case of young children who are still in the process of learning grammar and spelling in school) as being mean.

In this case of a post, you come off as egotistic, especially in your postscript.

Grammar is important, but getting the message across to the audience plays a more important role when communicating. If the message is taken in the wrong way, then your efforts have been in vain, and you accomplish nothing.

seriously, you have to realize not everyone is a freak about grammer like you. Not saying ur a like total nerd, its just not something every1 does. Like she how i used the "1" in everyone? its faster, and on the internet, no one is grading you so it doesn't matter if others understand it. like LOL is farely universal, so lots of people no it. Ok?

You're a freak about grammar. You made an account but you've posted no projects or created any gallerys, you made it purely to correct people's grammar. I mean someone might type a "u" instead of a "you" but they just do it to save time also people write "OMG" instead of "oh my god" but it can offend people if you don't abreviate it. Now shut up and get a life

GrammarPolice911 was trying to correct people's grammar, but the way it was being conducted was often unnecessary and, with consideration to the main age group of the website, is bleedingly close to mean and ridiculous (see if you can dig up GrammarPolice911's previous posts via the custom Google search provided on the main site, and you'll understand what I mean).

FunnyDude, I know this a fairly recent topic, but you resurrecting the topic with harsh words towards others is not helpful - it is degrading to you and the rest of the SCRATCH community. I sense a flame war about to occur, so I propose the topic be closed.
