Why is it always the ones who can't spell and use decent grammar who need help; or are unclear about what they need help with?  ugh...

Obviously we couldn't determine your race, and frankly it doesn't really matter.  Being an idiot and using your race as a defense against our alleged "prejudice" isn't helping either.  You shouldn't have even tried to defend yourself on this.  It's very simple.  In the future, if you expect more/better help, you should learn to spell accurately and use grammar.  It seriously helps, and is blaintly obvious.

Is blaintly even a word? I couldn't find it on www.dictionary.com or www.webster.com. I would just like to know if it is a word before I comment further.

Additions: BTW don't tell someone to do something you are guilty of yourself... I have seen a number of posts where you didn't spell everything correctly.

It doesn't need to be spelt absolutely correctly...duh.  As long as it's obvious they know what they're asking for, it's fine.  But some people are ridiculous in their spelling/grammar capabilities.

If you really cared soooo much about it, "blatantly."

*shrug* -- if you have to take things so literally and lack the ability to make simple connections, then...

People shouldn't be posting for help if they can't use decent enough grammar/spelling to clearly get their problem across to those who are able to assist.  Simple spelling or grammatical errors that do not jeopordize this idea should be overlooked.  I've seen people who are clear in what they are asking/stating who make simple grammatical or spelling errors, but at least they're clear.  Then I see people who maksignificant grammar/spelling errors and are very unclear about their questions/statements.

I think Grok said this already, but please try not to take things so literally for what people say...you'll argue on forever...

Great! Now we just have to work on using that word in the right context and we'll be set.

Edit: incase ppl dont figure it out:

Mephisto, "spelt" is not the preterite of "spell."
