And the fact that half the posts in your typical Chit-Chat thread is "oMg FaIl" isn't helping our case.

Before coming here, I had sworn never to actively participate in a forum because the last one I posted at was filled with stupidity and repetition. Every single time I visited the forum, I would see the same thread and I would make the same response over and over again for over 2000 posts and it just wasn't very fun and a big waste of my time. However, when I first came to FFR, I was impressed that the threads here weren't completely stupid, different, and even funny.

Part of that was because grammar is mandatory here. When I read each of your posts, I give you a voice and I tend to read posts with terrible grammar with an idiot voice in my head. The way that I read your post will ultimately change the way I view your message and the meaning can be completely different from what you actually said. I do realize that not all posts with bad grammar are stupid and all posts with good grammar are smart, it does certainly help differentiating between the two.
