As some of you know - those in the NME Skype, and also those who are fed the information that the Growth spy sends - I recently received a forum infraction for breaking forum rules. I am sure you are all scratching your heads in wonderment!! What would Kit ever do to break a rule, you may be asking.
In my defense, I had no idea that a rule such as this exists, but, to quote:
Well, in the interest of public service, I feel compelled to share the following information:
Zoosk told Mic in an email that more than 1,200 single millennials were surveyed (within a larger survey of more than 9,000 users), and a slight majority of them (51%) said that poor grammar was an unequivocal dating deal breaker. Meanwhile, 64% of millennials said that blatant spelling errors were the biggest grammatical crime a prospective partner can commit in digital conversation.
But does any of this actually lead users to make snap judgments about a person's character? Yup! 23% of respondents said they believe that poor grammar indicates that someone is "uneducated or unintelligent", while 32% said it suggests that users "didn't take the time to proofread, so they must be lazy or just not care."

Grammar/spelling flames
It is not allowed to rebuke another user concerning his grammar/spelling. If the grammar/spelling of a user is that bad, that the content gets lost, you can use the "report post" feature to report the post, an admin or mod will then deal with it.
