Joost...use the report function on these.
When users correct grammar, it invariably causes a fight. Fights between text talkers and moderators end very quickly.
Non-native English speakers get leeway on trying to communicate in our bastard language...except the Dutch, because you all speak 8 languages by age 3

Hmmm...
I would think of one exception: the usage of French is highly discouraged

Hahaha, Abscate, I only just now discovered your reply, hahaha. Hmmm I will have to keep practicing then.

Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.

Guilty, should have proof read my post before posting it as I was using talk to text not manually typing it. I do agree, that proper grammar is very important.
