Grammar issues are a pain to see, but I tend to overlook them because it just does't seem worth it to jump on that particular soapbox.

If a person makes a grammatical error in a statement that is nothing more than diarrhea of the keyboard, does the error really matter?

With English being my second language I tend to have grammar issues, like:

1) Belief vs believe
2) Too vs to
3) Spend vs spent
4) Bear vs bare

Aussie grammar, non existent. We just swallow our words.

What are you doing? = Wotchadoin?
How are you? = howyagoin?
Australia = Straya
Watch out! = Chout!
Agreeing on something that was once an issue = Yeah nah

I think I need some Aussies to agree with me on this lol

We don't have traffic lights in South Africa, we have robots.

A pancake is something flat and a flapjack is what the Americans would say pancake.

A soda is a cold drink and a barbeque a braai

I've noticed in posts that discuss OSAS, people will either say you can or can't "LOOSE" your salvation instead of LOSE.

I typically don't care at all when people make grammatical errors. Frankly, there are far worse things that people could do.
There is one thing, though; when people type, "should of" instead of, "should've". I see this happening far more often than I'm comfortable with.
