English, motherfuckers.

Remember: when you are writing a post on the Internet, text is the only means by which you can communicate. Therefore, proper spelling and grammar are vitally important. If you can't take the time to even make the distinction between "your" and "you're" or "their," "there," and "they're," I'm not going to take the time to read a thing you have to say. That sort of writing makes you come across as an ignorant, uneducated dolt who flunked out of middle school. I'm not expecting perfection - I know my own writing isn't perfect - but I do expect people to write on at least a third grade level. Don't waste my bandwidth if you can't even meet that trivially low standard.
