Okay, let me figure out what you said.
''ill use the grammar i like!''
First of all, ''ill''. It should've been ''I'll'' because the ill you're using means not healthy.
''i'', again, not capitalized.

Sorry, we don't mean to be rude, but grammar is an important part of most languages, especialy English. The English language is so large and complicated that proper punctuation and grammar is necessary in the written format to make sense of it.
The sentence you used in the quote was probably intended as "I'll (I will) use whatever grammar I like (prefer)."
What you wrote can be read as "Ill use of "the grammar", I like." Which indicates that you enjoy the use of poor grammar. Even the best interpretation of the unintended exact meaning comes out with poor grammar, even with perfect punctuation.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Why is everyone spamming this guys post?
I never knew Dakka was big on the grammar nazi thing.
Well since we want to follow rules lets talk about the fact that on the second page of this thread no one is actually staying on topic of OPs question...something I'm pretty sure is in the rules.  (pssst its rule number 2)
Also being rude and disrespectful to someone goes against rule number 1 as well.

I'm sorry, but rules are rules. You may not care about his grammar, but it does violate forum rule.
Rule 1: Be Polite
This seems obvious, however many folks can sometimes forget that common courtesy goes a long way to lending respect to both you and your opinions. Just because you don't see the other users' faces doesn't mean they don't have feelings and won't be hurt by rude comments or offensive images.
Rule 2: Stay on Topic
After reading and posting at Dakka for awhile you may feel as though you have developed friendships with some, perhaps many, of the other posters and readers. This is probably one of the most rewarding parts of participating in a discussion area. It is only natural to occasionally want to share information with your friends that is "Off Topic" (i.e. not related to the subject matter of the forum you are in).
While it may at first seem harmless to post a bit about off topic (OT) subjects, it can become a slippery slope. If others join in on OT posts then soon everybody has sent the discussion threads on so many tangents that it is difficult to follow the original topic. Further, posting off topic essentially violates Rule #1. People come to Dakka looking for information related to the hobby. It is not polite to post off topic items frequently.
If you wish to discuss a topic that doesn't pertain to wargaming, it should be started in the "Off-Topic" forum.
So maybe drop the grammer bashing and try being polite

Have you thought that maybe he is, in fact, making a legitimate "effort to use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation"? Repeatedly pointing out someone's deficiencies isn't particularly helpful and just makes you look like a small-minded person.
All of that said, it is the internet and there exist people who will apparently not be happy until they act childishly.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do |

That doesn't make the nonsense going on here acceptable.
If you see a post that breaks the forum rules, just report it and move on. The sort of behaviour exhibited in this thread does nothing positive for anyone.
