OK two pet peeves, sorry.
1. Cars stop with brakes, not breaks. This is an automotive forum, you'd think they'd know that.
2. "I seen." What ever happened to the past tense verb "saw? " It is either "I saw" or "I have seen." Unfortunately anymore I almost never see, or hear, people use the proper word "saw" anymore.
And yes people will judge you by your grammar and spelling whether you like it or not, so why not put your best foot forward? "It's the internet, it doesn't matter" baffles me. One thing to write something only at work or home that few people will be able to see, another thing to put it on the internet where anyone in THE ENTIRE WORLD with a computer can see and judge you by. "The internet: The ability to embarrass yourself on a world wide level!"
With that said the fact is there are, and will always be people who either lack the skills or just aren't concerned. So the way I see it being the Grammar Police, or a Grammar Nazi is just pissin' in the wind. But hey, if it makes you happy...
