A lesson for the children around here : Fallout: New Vegas

You spell it "a lot", not "alot"; unless you mean "allot". The spell checker will catch this for you. Whenever a word is underlined in red, this means you're doing it wrong and should fix it.

Your is not the same and you're. "Your" is a possessive, "you're" is the contraction of the words "you" and "are".
Protip: if you can use the words "you are" and it still makes sense, you should be using "you're".

Not really New Vegas related, and not exactly a matter of extreme importance.

That being said, you're right. The lack of correct spelling and grammar is not only annoying, it's prevalent in forums and comments all over the internet.

hawkeyenick; Thanks for the lesson. This is certainly the right place for it. Next time I take a [censored], would you please direct me on how to wipe my ass? Without your sage guidance, I fear I may lose my way.

Tip: If you give spelling and grammar tips please make sure your own sentences are free of mistakes

That being said:

The use of leet speak is difficult to understand for many, and should not be used. In addition, please do not take it upon yourself to be a spelling and grammar cop. With the number of non-English speaking members here, it is to be expected errors will occur. It is fine to be helpful, just please don't be spiteful.
