So your point about Karloz not being Mexican is moot, he pretty much can be.And about trolls... I have a strange feeling that the only troll in this topic is NOT Karloz...
Then you don't know what a troll is.
As far as you taking up for "Karloz"...I don't see how it can be a moot point to use common sense in seeing that if he can utilize and spell somewhat complex English terms...then there is no reason that he wouldn't know the proper use of simple ones in merely speaking it. Thats called Logic.

You can spell English and no doubt, you learned to speak it first. Even if you were learning speaking and spelling at the same time...you would be able to utilize those words properly in sentances before you could spell them. Long before. Long enough for it to show in your typing skills that you care to put those words in sentance form correctly and check spelling...rather than spelling most words correctly but making obvious simple mistakes that you would have first learned not to upon learning to speak it. As in...the use of the word "no" instead of "not"...Too simple of a mistake for someone who already knows how to type in English. I can understand if it were complex mistakes, but these (I would bet money on) are deliberate.
Just take my post for example. I make spelling errors and run-on sentences and therefore probably alot of punctuation mistakes as well...but as far as I know I do not make obvious errors in grammer that would confuse the meaning of my sentences AFTER having learned how to half ass spell. Don't get me wrong. I could if I wanted to and that was my point in making posts with obvious mistakes that looked like I was picking on people who's first language is not English. Try again to grasp my point.
Forgive. I can make much mistake in spelling of my English. Which is kind of retarded seeing as how I can already SPELL those words and make such simple mistakes with them at the same time. I have worked with numerous Mexican people and when they pick up English, the first thing they learn is what certain words mean. By the time they have figured out what most things are called in English, they have already learned how to use the small words. By the time they feel comfortable speaking in English, they may still have an accent, but they are usually able to make there point clear unless they don't know what a certain thing is called. Now, if you asked those same people to read what they said, they would probably look at you and smile like "Yeah, Right." Once they have learned how to read and can then write the English...it is highly unlikely that they are going to be making simple worded mistakes.
Excessive posting is called flooding.
And try as you may to make me sound like a bigot...I do not care, because I know better.
I have talked to people from alot of different countries and they rarely ever make simple mistakes like that. They will even use the wrong words at times and ask you if that is right because their English is not that good and you might have never known it otherwise because their use of simple words was one of the first things they picked up. The only people who type as though they have an accent, in my experience, are doing it on purpose.

Your post just made me think about those kid "toys" (I don't know if toy is the right term, you don't really play with it per se) where you pull the string and the arrow spins and points to a different letter, number, animal, etc. and says what it is. I remember a long time ago hearing about how some sick (bored) people would buy them, open them up and alter what it says (usually really nasty, graphic stuff), and then take it back for mommy or daddy to buy for their little kid to learn. I would always get a cheap thrill about hearing about that on the news. Oh shit, now you guys probably think I do that! No way, never...LOL
