Default setting for example -add me to your favorites/Mine does not exist

There are more that you are not siting. Since you have a store, you should be aware of the benefits. If you aren't, you should look them up.

Maybe the problem here is that you don't understand what the community boards are for. Typically when someone creates a thread they are trying to inform others of a problem they ran accross, vent, seeking advice or found information they wanted to share.
Those responding are using their own personal time to try and give advice, share stories. There will always be differences of opinions. But just because others may not agree with you does not make them wrong, nor does it make your viewpoint wrong. It ONLY means you have a difference of opinion.
Yet for you, how you handle this is to insult and degrade others. For some reason you think saying someone is "pedant" is a bad thing. Your lack of being pedant my be the issue. The details are important. Because you don't respect them or maybe you don't know and/or understand them, just may be the real issue here.
Good, knowledgeable people have come here to try and assist you and your response to that is very telling about you.
My personal opinion is that it would be very funny on the proper site, but not so much here. Many of the people that come here, do so because they are upset or otherwise in need of some assistance. Making fun of how they may have said something or spelled something is rarely entertaining to the person posting and just adds even more frustration to the poster. It just isn't helpful.

If you're talking about the grammar police avitar that femmefan is thinking of using for herself, I think it's awesome. Many times I see posters who don't know the difference between to and too or there/they're/their or here and hear and those who don't know there's no such word as alot and most of the time I just pass it by and hope one day they do learn.
At least for me (or is it for myself), I would not want to go the rest of my adult life thinking I was spelling certain grade school words correctly, when in fact I wasn't so I always appreciate when/if someone points it out to me.

The community chat boards were never intended to be a lesson on the English language. Some are none to kind to point out typos, spelling etc. At the expense of other's feeling. While this may entertain some [I'm not talking about you] it isn't so much for others. Sometimes doing this can chase away people from responding on threads or starting a thread because to some how they say something is more important than what they have to say.
Sometimes when posters have the need to point out these infractions it is because they want to be part of the chat, but have nothing to offer regarding the subject at hand.
We are all human and we all make mistakes. I sure know I've made enough typos on the threads over the years. I have no need to do this to other posters. Well unless their typo created a new word [covfefe] that is humorous. Then I might say something completely in fun, never in a corrective manner. I am only speaking for myself.
