Bad grammar can be really useful online. When people consistently make the same mistakes, they're still identifiable when making anonymous comments. People have emailed me pretending to be someone else with better grammar/spelling. How did they not think I would notice?
Much as I'd have liked to confront him, he never found out that I knew. He was trying to manipulate a situation to ruin a mutual female friend's life. I had an advantage in knowing who he was, and him not knowing I knew. It's amazing what people will say when they think they're saying it anonymously.
It's also amazing that he thought Machiavellian was spelled Makavelian (presumably because of Tupac) but that he couldn't even spell this. He went with Makuvalian. It took me five minutes to work out what the hell he meant. I thought he was referring to a resident of some Pacific island called Makuval (which looked enough like Tuvalu to convince me it was possible).
Do you hate people with bad grammar?

Now THAT's an interesting bonus to bad grammar! I can only imagine that they were very upset when you recognized them.
