To many that seem to give little in the way of Life Experience, Philosophical Thought & do little for the name GrupTHINK, but they have great knowledge of movies & are good at pointing out errors in grammar.
This could be a great site not just a good site,
if it weren't for those who would fit better on a site named GrammarThink!

You forgot to add commas after thought and after the ampersand.
Don't get me started on the random capitalization!
To be fair, great thinking does not require great mastery of writing. Punctuation may be poor, there may be random capitalisation but if the ideas are good and there is intellectual rigour, then who really cares? Some people are dyslexic and others had a poor education, both of which may produce bad spellers. But bad spelling does not mean a person is stupid, non-intellectual or could not be trained to be a good academic. On the whole, I think it is better if we forgive inaccurate grammar, spelling and punctuation and only request clarification if mistakes seem to compromise meaning. And then, we should do so with respect.
Yes, I know, I am a boring old bastard.
Well I agree with you, just look at Emily Dickonson

The content is more important to me
Some also didn't have English as their first language!!!!!!
Still have not seen much probing debate from these people!
Are they hiding behind their vocabulary?
Is something else so small in their life..
Maybe try some reading from this man then come back with comments..

Eraneo - yes I think some people do hide behind their vocabulary, whether that vocabulary is large or small. People with a small vocabulary are often made to feel "less than" and consequently they hide away in shame or embarrassment. I find that to be such a waste of potential talent and ability and it is sad. People with large vocabularies may also hide the fact that they are insecure or feel incompetent by using a lot of uncommon words. And others fall for it because they have been taught to believe that a large vocabulary means a large intellect and great ability. In both cases is is language being used as a weapon.
