Inspired by the below quote. As someone who doesn't like blatantly incorrect grammar even in the atlas chat room, posting this in a thread as the original poster, and choosing that method of representing yourself and communicating, is beyond me. I assume he has a full keyboard at his disposal and not just his phone or something.

Im not a republican obviously.  But id vote cheney if I were.

What do you mean?  WalterMitty's grammar here is fine, even if his orthography is unorthodox. However, "Inspired by this" is not a complete sentence, and your second sentence appears to involve at least one dangling participial clause.

I'm generally not a fan of bad grammar, but I find for some reason really bad grammar in Internet posts hilarious, so freedom grammar. I found Banjo Broski's grammar absolutely hilarious.

That particular example doesn't bother me. Incorrect verb agreement drives me nuts though. I hate people who say "He don't......" Also, the ubiquitous online u for you, ur for your, and 2 for to is cringe worthy.

The fact that he's capitalizing words lately annoys me.

I'd like to see Mike Beebe Grammar, Lincoln Chafee Grammar, and Jeff Merkley Grammar included as options in this poll.  I know they're not very likely to run, but I think they'd be fantastic.  There's no reason why we should accept the conventional media narrative that it's going to be a boring two horse race between Freedom Grammar and Horrible Grammar.

Discuss with maps.

It's WalterMitty.  A leopard can't change it's spots.  I'm surprised he used capital letters.
