He is the worst at it but the first to try to correct someone.

A friend of mine tried to give an example of this once on facebook and screwed the math up. It was really funny watching him ask for the wrong change while trying to prove how superior he was.

Thank you, Hyper16!!

Good grammar and spelling matters!

And, omg, yes! - Com69 - I kept seeing posts with "break" instead of "brake" recently ...gah!

I'm not perfect by any means, and of course people will make mistakes here and there, but I feel like so many just don't care. :(

Yes, thanks for the reminders. It's refreshing to see there are others who actually care about this topic.

Sadly, the lazy and uneducated will have full reign at some point in time.

For now though, we must keep fighting the good fight.

Here's an old thread you might enjoy. The problem is more extensive than you think.
