Is it arrogant to expect that everyone on the Internet will speak/spell and write clear English? If you aren't American, I suspect you might think so.

Tolerance for those who speak another language but do their best to communicate in English is a trait more people should appreciate. Expecting (indeed, demanding) "proper English and grammar" on a site that caters to an international community could easily be considered rude and condescending.

Looking at his post, I'm positive he's capable of writing decent English, so I totally agree with filburt on this.

And bare in mind I leave far, far from any English-speaking country ^^

As long as the message gets across, it really doesn't matter how "proper" it is done. We are not in school.

But not absoultely neccessary in a place where there is such a wide diversity of languages.

(See? I can use big words like the other kids.)

i agree with the majority of y'all..you dont need to be exact on spelling when there are way more than just english users using this board for their vB needs..their's only a vbulletin-germany and vbuletin-chinese, that means all others come here.

Just my opinion, though

P.S.

This thread like made a U-Turn... it went from talking about this AdamGessel guy ripping someone off, and then became this heated debate over the uses of proper grammar. Obviously everyone was able to read the post, it's stupid to think that everyone in the world can be literate and articulate well, especially in a bulletin board type situation. Oh and as for AdamGessel; never... EVER pay someone for doing hacks to your board until you've ensured they've all been installed and are working properly.
