The point of all this typing is to communicate and if it can be done using abbreviations, acronyms etc and still get one's meaning across then the essential criteria have been met.

Yes, the 'grammar-police' do need another hobby. I have no issue with things said in jest, but some people do get a bit too serious about things that don't matter, after all, we are mostly discussing our addiction to stargazing. I doubt that any of us are in the running for a Nobel Prize for Literature.

Come to my tutorials, I'll learn you english!

Well said Kunama!

Indeed. This is just about our to some, odd addiction, obssession even to stargazing . An amateur site.

If I wanted a proofreader, I'll ask and pay for it.

So what are some strange souls doing on this site, pretending

to be gurus, ready to ambush the unwary? For a comma spacing even.

Maybe they are just not good at much else, and so, take

their frustrations out here ?

Who knows !
