It kind of clutters up topics. I just realized this approach would be better after all of the "your grammar is bad" posts everywhere. Preferrably it would be good to give them the link to their post as well so they know what you're talking about.

Deleted User	Attention: The Leader of The Grammar Nazi Party was told of this yesterday on AIM. Still, anyone who isn't good should seek a spell checker.

Ok? Constantly typing like that results in a warning. A few mistakes are fine, and there are members that English is not their first language and we understand that.

If you do, I will too. [/rare moment of MoD getting along with SOTI] And Ktimleck, I utterly roffled when I read "brainfart"

Excellent idea chaps, what-ho! Grammar and spelling is a fundamental, and if people make an effort to type properly on a forum, then that spreads to other things as well, doncha know.

The fact that there are that many posts anywhere only strengthens the evidence that people need to learn how to type.
