Winterfox to Quezi: No, I'm not playing GrammarNazi here. (Although I do that elsewhere, in a writing community, but that's irrelevant.)
Winterfox, please edit the word "GrammarNazi" - it offends me as a German. It offends me if this historical crime is vulgarized and banalized - used in everyday terms. If you take my wish as moralizing - yes, it is meant in this way. Just see it as my personal hygiene.

Winterfox to Quezi: Oh, by the way, on the Internet, you have nothing to go by in term of judging a person's intellectual except - you guessed it - the way he/she types. It's like personal hygiene. Someone may have a wonderful personality or be a genius, but if his hair is greasy, his body stinks, and so on, I don't think most people will want to spend a long time in his company. Good spelling/grammar also lends you so much more credibility, as far as I'm concerned
Addendum to intellect/good spelling/grammar/credibility IMO: The way, personal respect is expressed even if in a disagreement, the way emotional intelligence (if existing) is expressed, adds to credibility, too.
And if you take offense in my choice of words, my spelling, usage of the English language - feel free to criticize: In German, if you can. Kiya
