I agree, to a point. No doubt you already know that because I've sent messages along similar lines before. Generally I jump on the bandwagon when it's a technical term or some other thing that could misrepresent us as a player base to the mainstream gaming community, (the never-ending battle to get people writing CAPTCHA properly being one recent example). But when the majority of someone's messages over a period of several months are one or two lines long, and seem only to criticise or insist on clarity to the point where it appears that person isn't willing to investigate a single thing that hasn't been handed to them on a plate, I do start to wonder whether our old buddy Mr Initiative is stuck in cyber traffic. Yet somehow, that seems unlikely, because the grammar police usually manage to make it to the scene of the crime right on time don't they.
To give you an example of how this comes across, I could've replied to your last message as follows: "What is knit picking? I was referring to nitpicking. Check the difference in spelling. Thanks." It wouldn't have gotten anybody any closer to enjoying games, so I chose not to. Follow what I'm saying? Let one go once in a while man, it frees up a few extra seconds for gaming.
