And on the subject of grammer, I disagree. I don't mind the odd spelling mistake, but I've seen some posts that a six-year old could write better. Misuses of they're/their/there and it's/its just add confusion to a world that already has too much bad spelling. I mean come on, how much is too much? It drives me nuts.
If the grammar and spelling are so bad that I have to slow down and re-read, then yes it IS a problem.

1. A guy with bunches of chinese characters tatoos say "water and fire" on his arms and know sh*t what they meant!
2. A girl with a chinese charater tatoo "happiness" right above her bush! All the guys she hangs out with might know what that means.

People who are so monumentally, galactically stupid as to say something to the effect of "I have one exactly like that but it's different. Guess what knucklehead it ain't the exact same if it's FRIGGEN DIFFERENT!
