From this point forward, all commenters are required to participate in The Commonly Confused Words Test and score within 10% of my own score:

Beginner: 93% Intermediate:100% Advanced: 93% Expert: 61%

Everyone in my age group scored lower than I did, which is pretty darn sad.

Comments written in text-message format (“U NO”) are just getting deleted outright. I can’t take it any more.

Unless you have a good excuse (for example, statments like, “German is my first language, sorry for my poor use of English”, which are often better phrased than most comments I get from native English speakers) poor language skills are just going to get tossed.

I should write a comment plugin that deletes comments with poor grammar. (But I shouldn’t write one that deletes posts with poor grammar, because then you’d have nothing to comment oh, eh?)
