    I love it when people are so insecure with the language that they start applying the rules as rigorously as possible. They lack the flair, the creativity, the élan, and simply abide by stodgy, often nonsensical rules.

    The purpose of language is to communicate. Some rules are necessary for communication to succeed, but they are not sacred, they are arbitrary. The important thing is to communicate and as long as that happens nothing else is a consideration.

    It's also cute when people get uppity about grammar, because I've never met anyone who actually knows every rule of English grammar, let alone someone who can and does follow it.

    It doesn't kill anyone to use capitalization and punctuation so their thoughts don't all run together, though. I can forgive spelling errors as long as I can figure out what the person's trying to say, but seriously, now.

    Which is what I said. If the rules are violated to the point where it's difficult to read, then you've gone too far. But their only purpose is to facilitate communication. I have no truck with people who go about acting as though the natural evolution of language is something bad.

    I don't use spellcheck in firefox because I don't feel like wasting the ram/cpu to keep another extension alive This was more important when I was still using my desktop, but I'll still pretend that's my reason.

    Anyways, most of the time, any misspellings are 1) made up words 2) typos cba 3) words that are annoying and hard >:{

    I remember when I barely got the add-on. I thought that my computer magically started to check my spelling everywhere, I thought it was amazing. Then I found out it was just Firefox. yay...
