TS, despite the good intention, it is actually berating. Yeah, of coz we wish everyone would have great comand of grammar/spelling/etc. But the fact is, not everyone does. That's like asking someone who has poor command to check many of the words before typing. And if they can't do that, don't post. Come on, be realistic. There are thousands of members, surely you can't expect everyone to grasp English as well as you. It don't matter if it's a car thread of other threads for that matter.

So long as I understand what he/she meant, that is enough. If really there is a need for this thread, please post it up in RWI instead and maybe create a "Low English Standards" as a topic as this is beyond The F&F as well.

We're not discriminating here, just pointing out common mistakes so we all learn and improve ourselves. If nobody points out what went wrong, the person will not realise he/she is wrong mah.

I agree with this statement of yours. But it could have been properly explained instead of :

....... but ever bother to check the meaning of what you type ?

TS intention is good and he gave some fine examples and terminology of what is the common mistakes here. But I feel the above sentence was unnecessary, that's all.
