I am normally not a pedant grammarian insofar as pointing poor grammar out; I merely let it irritate me.
Through language, no matter how slaughtered, we can communicate thoughts and ideas.
It is grammar that advertises whether we are worth talking to or not.

My apologies - I wrote Post

I taught English grammar for a number of years. I judge people all the time on the content of their speech or writing, especially candidates for the U.S. Presidency. However, I've never dismissed anyone as "not worth talking to" on the basis of his or her grammar. I'd be condemning myself to a life of isolation, since I don't know anyone (including myself) who never committed a grammatical error.
