If you're going to lecture people about using proper grammar, then you should probably expect it back.

Edit: I should probably have used the word 'admonish' instead of 'lecture'.
The connotations of 'lecture' can be negative and I didn't consider your post as 'lecturing' anyone.
In all, you have made very valid points.
