I used to care a lot about my grammar, but it's mostly subsided. Useless worth of trash for a weird language, anyway.

Hospitals feel like death and hurt. :(

Happy Easter to you too HB.

If I notice mistakes in my posts I'll go back and correct them. It doesn't bother me if other people are not grammatically correct 100% of the time though. As long as the message they were trying to convey is clear, I'm good.

Yeah, this. When I see an error, it kind of makes me cringe, but I've been able to fight through it. If I quote someone and there's an error that really makes me cringe, I'll fix in it the quote but I won't point it out.

Ah, like you just did there. xD Thanks for that catch.

XD

I wondered if you would pick up on that.

In all seriousness, though, I can see how people could become quite pissed if one were to go around and correct their grammar all the time, so I tend to abstain from mentioning it.

That I did, added the little note to the end of that post too. Really, how silly would I look if I left that there? xD

I can understand that too. The only place where I think you should go all out would be in the fanfiction section, where you are supposed to be critiquing.

And it would only really be a problem if it got in the way of the readability of the piece, or if it distracted from the story at all. Speaking of which, I have a great idea for a couple of stories I want to write.

Very true. A few minor nitpicks here and there, no big deal. If it was written like this or this, then there would be a problem. (Unless it was done in jest or trolling.)

Oh? What would those ideas be?

Well, I can't tell you, can I? Once I write them, I'll throw them up in the writer's workshop. One of them is tangentially related to Pokemon, the other isn't related at all.

Anyway, I'm falling asleep. It's been nice talking, but I have to go to bed XD
