Honestly i could give -2 **** if i should have said you're instead of your. This is the internet, not school.

If you really have the nerve to take your time to tell someone that they misspelled something or fix there grammar then you should go jump off a cliff.

There is probably going to be some troll fixing something i said in this rant. Thats good for you.

Just because we have auto correct on our computer's doesn't mean anything. Simply you are too lazy to correct it, or cant figure out how to use it. People who fix grammar on the internet are obviously educated and like seeing things used correctly.

Correcting grammar is quite good as it makes them grasp it in mind and us it properly next time. Although its not school, the people who do correct them are probably quite well educated.

I don't see why people should have bad grammar in the first place. I learned how to spell in early years of school.

It's just how people are. And you're right, it's not school. But think, do you think a job will look at someones Facebook and gladly accept their application when they have horrible grammar and make themselves look stupid versus those who spell and use grammar correctly?

For those of you who chose the first...If we ever meet, just know it'll be at a fast food place. And that I take my burgers with everything on them. Good day to you, sir.

Although I agree with your premise, it doesn't take a well educated person to correct basic grammatical errors for the purposes of trolling or a futile attempt to belittle someone's intelligence in an argument.
If anything, it would show they are less educated and therefore that they need to turn to that institute in order to have any chance of surviving an altercation with their reputation still intact, which they wouldn't have to resort to if they had a strong basis and foundation for their argument, a characteristic of a well educated person.

I am in no way saying that bad grammar is acceptable or unacceptable, but correcting it is unnecessary and inciting in most cases.

That right there shows how incompetent and lazy you are. Its not that hard to type extra letters to spell a word correctly.

You are completely wrong. I am not talking about people who talk like "Yo G Dat Boootay bEE So Fine"
I am talking about if i say 2morrow or your instead of you're

I company is not going to be like - "This guy said your instead of you're. He must be stupid and uneducated, he is not getting a job.
