People who have spent their time inside the 18 and older forum have probably felt the change from previous months. If I could express myself correctley, I´d probably use a different and more accurate vocabulary.

"Ignorance"

Certain people have a tendency to use words like "illiterate". But they seem completely ignorant of the fact that others don´t speak english or write english in their daily life. Plus, they think beeing illiterate is the same as the unability to spell.

In our daily life, spelling seems to be a measure of everyones brain but it´s just the ability to express oneself in correct terms with the society.

Besides if anyone appear so foolish why not ignore them alltogether. Don´t encourage unimportant arguments. People seems to leave quicker that way.
That leads to the second word.

"Proud"

Why are everyone so damn proud about things that are totally irrelevant.They wouldn´t even listen to reason. When it appears they´ve lost the argument, they just change the subject or focus of attention to something about "fights over internet are just ridiculous etc" Becouse they can´t admitt they lost to something far smarter.

Last thing:

Respect others opinions as long as they aren´t about things like: Rasism, Sexism etc. Remember that each individuall is unique and there is no chanse on earth, you can tell what kind of person hides behind a certain font, emoticon and way of writing. Besides they probably surpass you in certain fields as well. The opposite will also be true.

Therefore "Stop judging people" infront of others, since both of you will appear stupid.

Just a thought and hopefully some others will start thinking.
