Yes, definitely. Grammar offenders need to die.

Seriously though, I don't really mind occassional mistakes. No one is perfect. However, there's a few words/phrases/whatever that get mixed up too easily:
- you're vs. your
- they're vs. their
- I'm vs. Im
- I vs. i
- lose vs. loose
There's probably many other simple mistakes as well, but it shouldn't really be that hard to correct at least the most common mistakes. It's a handful of words/phrases you have to learn to write properly, and your text already looks a lot better. Don't be lazy, it only saves you a couple of seconds max if you're writing a long text, and less if you're writing a short text.

Considering the average poster's ability to properly express themselves grammatically on this site, this should of have been added to the forum rules ages ago. These days you can barely get past a single post that doesn't feature a glaring grammatical mistake, and it's only going to get worse until someone starts taking this issue seriously.

I agree. Coincidentally, using "of" instead of "have" is one of the worst offences. The contraction of "should have" is "should've", not "should of".

I usually write perfect. But that's me. I hate grammar Nazi's period. And this is still the same junk.



It is very  difficult for me to spell every word correctly, there is no general rule for it in English. It is kind of random, I find this to be a weakness in the structure of the language.

English = Shadow of Mordor ( random and chaotic but easy to learn its basics ).

Arabic = Dark Souls ( difficult to learn, but very precise and strict )

Too easy.
