I do not correct minor mistakes in grammar. Unless it's in German, and that's only done for practice.
Indeed, I was just having a little fun.

I didn't ignore the other man's post, Lonewulf.

To me, if someone's words and ideas are so laden with errors and incoherence I wouldnt' threaten to mock them and proceed to play english teacher.
In this case, to me, nothing in zerocold's posts was worth responding to.
