consiser?  Don't you mean consider?   j/k

Grammar isn't really important on a casual medium like the internet has become.  Sure..  it has it's place..  but if there is a typo..  people just need to get over it and focus on the subject matter being discussed and not ab arbitrary set of rules someone decided were appropriate.  Hell 200 years ago, people spelled things however they thought they sounded.  

"I don't see any use in having a uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. We might as well make all clothes alike and cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome; variety is pleasing. I have a correspondent whose letters are always a refreshment to me, there is such a breezy unfettered originality about his orthography. He always spells Kow with a large K. Now that is just as good as to spell it with a small one. It is better. It gives the imagination a broader field, a wider scope. It suggests to the mind a grand, vague, impressive new kind of a cow."   - Mark Twain

not everybody is grammar is perfect,,, and I protests to wall to make fun of,, all because we can't figure it out, if there are teachers out there that doesn't teach properly,,
is specially when I was growing up,,, add one thing more I don't mind mistakes like not at all,,, I think of it as a brand-new language,,, that people need to learn to follow,,,
for all those who are handicapped,,, let's keep on making mistakes just to prove our point,,,,

Easy there, killer.  Some folks just do what they do to rile you up for the sole purpose of throwing you off your game.  (Please, watch the F-bombs, though, 'cause we do have kids 'round these parts.)  Sadly, it's just the nature of the web these days.  Some folks wanna show you that they're "your betters" 'cause they can spell.  That's usually when I write 'em a 'thank you' post but spell their name wrong.
