Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

If someone's username is all lowercase (like mine) should their name get capitalized?

Is it just me or has the grammar and spelling on the forum taken a turn for the worse lately?

You know what's funny? I actually paused before I sent that because I thought there should be a comma there but then I didn't end up putting it in.

I'm not perfect, far from it actually, and I'm not asking for perfection from the other members, but some level of literary competence should be expected when posting on a public forum.
