When did I say I was a big Law Enforcement guy? And would you please, for the love of all that is holy, learn the difference between "your" and "you're", Mr. I-Have-A-150-IQ?

I remember when you used to ridicule people who pointed out errors in spelling or grammar. What changed?

I never said anything about a glock, and don't recall saying anything about meeting LE buddies for "brewskies" after "there" shift.

Normally I wouldn't have said anything. But this individual was telling me about his 150 IQ the other day. Making a typo is one thing, but he clearly has problems with homonyms. The your/you're thing and the there/their thing are his common ones.

When someone tries to tell you "your stupid", you kinda have to call them on it. Apart from that, simple spelling/grammar issues are rather trivial.
