Picking at mispronouncing things is getting old. It has absolutely nothing to do with the substance of his arguments.

I totally agree with you, however, picking at other people’s spelling and grammatical errors have nothing to do with arguments you are in yet you still do it.

That's irrelevant to this thread.

Common fallacies of logic and rhetoric:
Ad hominem - attacking the arguer and not the argument.

It wasn't an attack, I agreed with your point of veiw first, I just make a side comment that you do the same thing in other arguments, like wher you told a German to speak proper English when it isn't his primary language.

picking at other people’s spelling and grammatical errors have nothing to do with arguments you are in yet you still do it.

Option A: "I don't think Kerry would be a good president."
Option B: "i dont tink keri wud b a good presdent"

Which option looks more like it was written by an intelligent person who knows about what he is talking?

Anything and everything you write on any internet forum is judged at first by your grammar. Your arguments are completely worthless if you can't take the time to construct them using simple rules of grammar.

@Hydra45
However if somebody does not speak/write English as their primary language then they can't be expected to speak/write in perfect English.

@ACK
Quoting yourself was irrelevant at that point, I looked up Ad hominem and it means saying another person's point is irrelevant due to the character of the person or the job of the person, for example, if a Priest says "Abortion is wrong" and gives reasons then another person replies with "You're a priest so you have to say that" so it was irrelevant the first time you wrote it as well. If I’d said “You attack people for using poor grammar and spelling so you are wrong for telling people to stop attacking George Bush for pronouncing things wrong�? then your post would have had relevance, but I didn’t I agreed with you and just added a side note that you so a similar thing.

Neither.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
