I see no difference between the above and digging at people
in newsgroups. It is amazing how many 'brave' and***y
people there are in ***space. It is the content of
contribution to the thread that counts..... The overall
flavour. If it is a load of bullshit, then by all means
flame on. Otherwise, people should remember that this NG is
not called rec.english.spellinglessons

P.S Spot my spelling mistake if you can :-)

And there is English (US) and English (Brit). There are
differenges there as well

I don't see any problem with correcting spelling and grammar mistakes if
it's done in the right context.  We're all trying to communicate in
english in here.  What's wrong with someone actually LEARNING something
in here.

Again, I don't correct people and I believe I have *never* posted a
grammar or spelling correction.  But if a word is consistently misused
and it relates to the thread I don't see a problem with a cute post like
the original.

You're right, though.  Some people can be pretty tactless and rude about
it...  They DO deserve a smack in the gob (I don't know what that is,
but it sounds appropriate).

Firstly, you have a comma between two sentences: "Me too Ed" should
finish with a full-stop if the next word is as you have written it.

Secondly, there is no need for a comma between "world" and "you".  There
is no pause required in the speech pattern there.

Thirdly, the phrase "and ultimately", which is created by commas before
and after the phrase, is incorrect.  Only the word "ultimately" should
be accentuated and the first comma should follow "and", not "others".

Etcetera.:o)

I swear I didn't look at other postings before searching for it
(English-grammar 101 for me ;-D ).

criticize should be "criticize"
difference should be "differences" (but it can AFAIK be correct on the 2
ways)
flavour should be "flavor"

I just don't accept people who criticize for the bad English of people. Sure
sometime it's obvious (people writing in CAPS with no punctuation), but if
that's the way they write you can't do nothing against it.  It can be
because of how they live, where they live, etc...

I mean.. not everybody is American, Britain, Australian or living in any
English-speaking country. Not everybody even speaks English has a primary
language. As far as I know there was only 28% of the total people on the
Earth who speak it. And on those 28%, I doubt they all can write it
perfectly, mostly because of their situation (= me, who writes English very
classy but it's shown that It's not my first language, especially with
idioms and sentence syntax)

At least I have a English dictionary 30cm off my monitor. I doubt many
Americans have this privilege. And Im using it very often ;-)
