As for second languages and those that can't spell.....
good point , i do understand this is an international site , however when a guy has 30 reviews all from the same American city, pretty good chance english isnt his second language
Don't bet on a guy, with 30 reviews from the same US city, having English as his first language. There are plenty of foreign nationals living in the US that hobby. There are also a lot of neighborhoods in the US that English is not the most commonly spoken language.
Plus English is much like a second language to me as my writing skills in it are so poor, but unfortunately it is my only language. I can't spell. Hell, the spell checker often can't even recognize what I am trying to spell, and it has a nasty habit of putting in the wrong word instead of the one I meant to type. Spelling is very difficult for me. I can't see words in my mind. I think almost 100% oral words at a rate that far exceeds my ability type.
I can't type for that matter. Just be glad anything I write make any sense at all. Trust me it don't, when I fist type it. I do proof read be thankful for that.
I doubt I am the only one is this boat of having poor spelling, grammar and typing skills.
If a poorly written review is below your reading standards, just don't read it. I know many of my reviews likely fall in that category. Trust me I understand. Thing is wining about it will not magically give me and those like me the ability to spell or write better. Thus it will not increase the quality of our reviews.
Now PMing me and those who struggle like me and politely making me aware of our errors may help. People pointing out my lack of lack of white space was making my posts hard to read has lead to my writing in smaller paragraphs and thus easier to read posts. Others pointing out my miss use of words like "there", "their", and "they're" has made me try harder to catch my errors. Though, I still struggle with such words and likely will as they all sound the same thus they difficult for me to catch. I am working on it.
My reviews despite my trying not have any will likely always have issues with spelling and grammer. For that I am sorry. Would you rather I and those like me not write reviews?
This photo is a peace offering for my poor writing skills. The photo is of Milana G from Met-Art.com. I am also sorry this post is likely also littered with spelling and grammar errors. Maybe the photo will help make up for them as well.
P.S. you do seem to forget proper capitalization in your writing. Maybe you should fix your own errors first before publicly shaming others. Again just a suggestion, as my English is far from perfect.
Edited as the post was too poorly written. It still likely has errors in it though.

Very nice said....

(****fill in your culprit****)
Though, I do admit, at times my repertoire is peppered with profanities, I would like to think that my sense of humor is what shines through at the moment.
It might be construed that infact I am not a man of means, therefore a college education was something that I could not take advantage of at an early age.
If I had the chance now, I would very much like to enter a place of higher learning so that I may partake in the finer things that were not so easily afforded to me when I was younger.
By that I mean, I would attend courses for all of about 2 weeks and corrupt the underclassmen, the women especially. I think my considerable charm, animal instincts, and sexual prowess would do very well in such an environment.
I am quite certain that upon completion, I would have acquired many young ladies and my fellow fraternity brothers would consider me a GOD because of my ability to indulge in alcoholic beverages and fornicate with young ladies at will.
How the fuck was that?
