I think its funny when we compare how someone sounds on the forum and imagine what they look and act like solely based on their forum posts.
For instance. I love forums because I have the option to look over what I type before I press "submit". Those who read my posts may possibly think I'm of the average intellect and am somewhat educated in proper grammer. In reality however, I have to be honest and say that I'm not articulate AT ALL. Although my native toungue is English, I have a foreign wife, was raised by a foreign family, and it screws up my grammer on a daily basis. If I wrote on the forums like I spoke in real life (which I do, mostly- firefox spell check just saves me from looking like an idiot) every few sentances I would write would be cut up by grammar nazi's.
On the other hand. One of my friends is a pure genious. Problem is he sounds uneducated when he writes emails or posts on forums. So much in fact that most people think he is just a kid when really he's a college grad.
Just an observation
