OK.

First off, generally it's considered to be fairly bad form to go after someone in public about their grammar, spelling, etc.

Granted, some posts demand it simply because you can't figure out what the poster is trying to say. In those cases, you should ask for clarification of content, but should not start wantonly slamming the OP's lack of various skills...

BUT...

Please remember if you think something is a problem, it's NEVER the wrong course of action to click the report post button and let staff deal with it.

Trust me, stuff like this does NOT go unnoticed by staff. When necessary, we deal with it.

I'm going to close this now.
