Actually, after writing this blog for several months I've come into conclusion that people are quite tolerant for language. I know that if I'd write this blog without using capital letters, or spaces/dots... I might scare people away. Propably every single post here contains some errors, yet people still continue reading. I guess it's not that crucial to have 100% perfect language skills, if the content is something that's interesting for folks. @Mark: As I already emailed you:

Hmm, my own grammer and punctuation are not too good. =/ One guy I know always spells professional with 2 Fs while exhorting his department to, “Be proffessional”.

Whenever I see a post on Gamedev.net, or anywhere, that suggests a poor handling of the English language (through grammatical laziness or spelling), I immediately begin to discount that person. IRC/chat is fine for that, but for e-mail, forum post, or anything that remotely requires a professional appearance, please employ correct usage of English. That’s for sure.
