I am a Grammar Nazi, I enforce punctuation. Just kidding, I always will post with Correct Spelling and Grammar though

I was once kicked out of a online game of Warcraft 3 for refusing to not use proper capitalization and punctuation. My grammar was actually pissing them off.

I do on the Escapist, so i look intelligent. (I'm really not)

On Youtube etc. i do it to win arguments and make points.

"OMG HALO FTW COD BLAK OPS SUKZ THUMBS UP IF U AGR33" doesn't tend to win people over.

Yes. Even in texts, I spell everything correctly and make it as grammatically perfect as I can. I'd hate to look like some Neanderthal moron who can't grasp the fact that 'you' has 3 letters.
Agreed. Though I'll often end sentences with prepositions ('what are you looking for?' as opposed to 'for what are you looking?') just for readability for those who are used to such simple grammatical errors, it's very rare for me to actually send a message or publish a forum post which contains spelling errors (perhaps the occasional typo), or improper grammar.

Unfortunately, sometimes use of brackets can make my sentences extremely long. People will just have to bear with me.

I don't try to be grammatically correct. That implies there are times where I have trouble with spelling, grammar, punctuation, and so on and so forth. I just don't, and the times I do have trouble, I catch it and correct it. By the time you get to this age, it should be second nature. Hell, if anything, I have to try to be grammatically incorrect.
