This especially on a message board that comes with a spell checker. The one that would have underlined in red the word "intelligent" when you typed "intellegent" in your long rant.
That's not courtesy of BWW, is it? I thought that was a Firefox thing.
I just don't understand why some people are just so willfully, stubbornly opposed to maybe proofing what they write once in a while. I don't understand what's so lame about that.
I just think it's odd that people graduate from high school, even college, without every grasping the difference between your and you're.

"Your" right! 
I always thought that BWW was cool enough to have a spell check, but I do use Firefox. You must be right.
This thread is lame, anyway. Let's trash Cougar Town or Bombay Dreams, that's much more fun.

I got trashed in Cougar Town, which shattered all my Bombay dreams.

You see Phyllis, in this generation it is uncool to be smart, atleast that's the way it is at my school. You wouldn't want young people to be uncool, now would you?

You are uncool if you don't know that ABC's Cougar Town increased to a 3.8 A18-49 rating in "finals" and tops all shows.
Rumor hast it that next season it will bottom all shows. Story of my life.

Okay, I'm thirteen, and I don't "rite posts lik dis!" I do use some grammar rules loosely, but if there is a red underline below a word I typed, I go back and fix it so people will be able to understand what I'm saying. And about the whole "smart is uncool" thing, being a theater geek is also considered uncool, so the original poster probably shouldn't have to purposely misspell words or use improper grammar. Plus, it's not like anybody here is going to say "hay! U spll thngs wrng, ur cools!"

In response to the original question, August- no, Toxic- maybe. There's some sex and violence, but when I was there there were 10 year olds near me enjoying it.

Blaxx...
My concern was not about you and others being grammar/spelling nazis. As I mentioned, there are some on every board. My issue is that rather than just critizing, some of you move into insulting, and for very minor infractions. Here's what was written:
"would you take a 12 year old to see...
August Osage County
The Toxic Avenger
if not why ?"
(Now, I am assuming that the original post was not edited. Most of the message boards I am on don't allow editing posts, so I'm not used to that.)
There are a couple of punctuation and capitalization issues. But none of the words are misspelled, no abbreviations are used, and the considering the format, fairly well put together. I just don't see this in the same category as your example. For something like this, I don't see that the personal attacks on the poster were justified. ("Hey, your sentence/question isn't phrased right. You should say it this way..." is correcting/criticising. "If they write the way you do, then no." is more of a personal attack.)
Oh, and TheaterFan4? Funk and Wagnall's publishes a number of different reference books: encyclopedias, various types of dictionaries, a music collection, even a family medical reference guide. But you are right, I was thinking of Strunk and White's Elements of Style. I was just too lazy to look it up.
