Destiny users' spelling and grammar problems

I've noticed a lot of Destiny players here on the forum who can't distinguish between there, their and they're as well as between the words patience and patients. I, myself, was not even born or have ever lived (except for 3 months in Manchester, England) in a country with English as its official language and yet I can distinguish these words. Are there really that many rednecks out there? If you have also encountered these 2nd graders who can't even spell simple words then share your (yes your not you're) story and the words they can't spell properly here, or their grammatical errors. EDIT; Stop being butthurt, it's 2015 and I am suggesting you learn how to spell simple words. Google exists, dictionaries exist. It can't be that hard. Seriously.

Become a teacher, make that difference in someone's grammatical future...or fuss about it online, be mocked for such fussiness, respond with frustration, be reported & move on with your life; why limit yourself, do both! Become a frustrated teacher that tries to teach others that do not want to be taught! ;-) Bottom Line: Did you understand what they were saying? 1. Yes? Life is good. 2. No? Ask for clarification. 3. Repeat as needed. Note: An extremely small amount of the populace will respond with a heart-felt "Thank you!" for pointing out grammatical errors, unless they asked, in advance, for assistance in drafting their message. Understood? Makes you feel warm & fuzzy being in the spotlight concerning the arrogant phrasing of your opinion, yes? If not, keep that in mind before criticizing another, unless you feed off the irritation of others. :-)
