I didn't post so, but I felt exactly the same way as they did. I feel bad for wanting to jump on innocent people, but this isn't AOL. I don't think anyone's judging his intelligence, but I wouldn't call that "less than perfect". Less than perfect to me is like, maybe you make a lot of typos. Those certainly aren't typos; they're from intentionally not writing standard English. Having to decode someone's post that even ends with the signature "lol" makes basic communication annoying if not difficult. If he would prefer, we can not bother trying to communicate at all, but then he wouldn't get an answer.
