I could no longer stress myself over grammar after I stopped commenting on IGN. I couldn't have minded if I made a mistake or two. I also couldn't have possibly minded if anyone else made a mistake or two. It has always been a waste of time and energy to be bothered by spelling and grammar. The obvious exception for this would have been if it was for either an important situation or the context was so terrible. The patch notes were terrible both in context and the fact it was an important situation. This was a relatively good example, but I just did not care about it.
Another good example of bad grammar and spelling in terrible context has been revealed in the OP. The OP has grammatical and spelling errors in the first paragraph alone. This I cared about. If you condemned people while properly using spelling and grammar correctly, it would have been fine. Not only have you suggested that those who did not spell correctly looked like idiots in your OP and were idiots in your poll, you made these mistakes yourself. That was hilarious.

Well it's just too cliched not to have some mistakes in the OP 
Must have lost the t on "can't" when changing the apostrophe. What's wrong with "any more" though?

Nothing wrong with 'any more' if you're using British English.

Any more refers to quantity. Example: Do you have any more lives?
Anymore refers to time. Example: I can't watch this anymore!
In you're sentence refering to idiots, any more is wrong because you are referring to a timeframe of being an idiot rather than the amount of idiots.
Anymore and anymore are similar but not the same.

In that context it applies to Britain as it indicates that in North America it uses in the context "anymore". In that sense, sure. You are ok to use "any more" if you from the UK and, if Ka-pi happens to be from the UK, then that specific part I chose to highlight, I redact. It does not however, exclude the other grammar and spelling mistakes that were made.
Edit: Let me correct myself by saying that Ka-pi must be from the UK as a conditional to use it. Britain generally reflects the world in English rather than North America. I just happened to be born in the U.S. and used anywhere I went since that was the context I learned it form.
