He's what you seem to be missing:

1. You can't control what someone posts on this thread, or the direction it takes.
2. Many people take spelling and grammar seriously here. Why should anyone take the effort to answer your question if you don't take the effort to form it properly. This is a life lesson applicable outside of cyberland as well.
3. You can't argue "I've never seen people do X here" and "I'm new" at the same time as they invalidate each other.

But one little thing i made a mistake on in the whole entire post and they choose to start something over that when everyone else seemed to understand what i meant? I just find that absurd. When i said that i meant since being on here i have seen plenty of miswritten words and i hadn't seen people comment on them, they just continued on with answering the post. I understand what you are saying and thank you for the insight, i just wish others would have explained that without being rude like you did. A simple "hey next time just make sure you say "a part" instead of "apart" INCASE(because nobody did) someone has a problem understanding what you meant" would have sufficed..It's the way people say things.

You just made a typo and meant to say "Here's" instead you said "He's", but it's not that big of a deal because i understood what you mean. Do you get what i mean? It wasn't that serious to make a huge deal about it.

Some of us, me included, stir up drama here for amusements and tickles. You're the latest victim. Congrats, it's like initiation here and you've just received a badge on your sash.

In other words, it's not that serious unless you make it serious.

True. And at least you admit it. Some people on here seem to act like they aren't trying to get on another person's nerves. If only there was some kind of manual that warned us about this site. haha, i would have been more prepared.

Your communication skills do matter when you are seeking the help of strangers.

Would it kill you to properly capitalize the word I?

Sometimes I feel like it and then sometimes i don't. Lol. It depends on my mood when I'm online. When I am speaking to a person that actually matters and when I am trying to appear professional, of course capitalization, punctuation, and grammar matters. On a forum, not so much. I'm not trying to impress anybody, I am seeking answers about other things than that. If someone chooses not to respond to my thread because of something so small as that, that is their perogative.Thanks for bringing in insight that has nothing to do with this post. TTFN.
