What can I even say? Yes, there are a few people on these boards who correct grammar rather obsessively, and yes, it is annoying (however, when attacking this behaviour, I'd recommend picking a target who consistently exhibits it, i.e. not De7).

As for intelligence not having anything to do with English usage:
Hopefully, a knowledgable--if not intelligent--person would know the difference between, say, the words "your" and "you're." On a message board, such as this, a person is allowed to use any amount of time they please to construct a post. If someone knows a language and is provided with time to construct messages using it, one might expect the words in their messages to be used in a correct fashion. I don't really know why you wouldn't want to use words properly, anyway.

It doesn't bother me that much if people use words correctly or incorrectly; after all, I am still able to read and understand their messages. However, if using words correctly isn't a sign of intelligence, surely using them incorrectly is no better.
