If you are that bothered about grammar, why don't you start a conversation of your own on correct grammar?

Is it worth pointing out that spelling, punctuation and grammar count for only 5% of the marks in GCSE English?
Is it also worth pointing out that in fact many people educated under the GCSE education system (myself included) have passed their English GCSE, with only a rudimentary grasp of punctuation and grammar?
Or should I stay quiet and let the more pedantic reaserchers argue the toss about grammar?

Do any of you realize that my question is STILL unanswered? Do you think I even care about what you think about GCSE English? Isn't it redundant to say GCSE English anyway, even though I don't know what it stands for? Can't you all just be straightforward about everything? Why must it always be so confusing when people say things to me? Do you think I have some sort of mental problem? Do I think I have some sort of mental problem? What makes me think I have a mental problem? Do I think I'm insane? What reasons do I have to think that I'm insane? Why can't I stop writing questions to myself? Is it because I'm bored? Is it to try to make some sort of impression to other people I've never met? Why--
Oh, nevermind.

Do I really enjoy reading something five times because I haven't a clue what someone is on about? Is the fact that one can get a qualification in English without knowing the basics something to be proud of? Is it not a sign of poor education in Britain when a language qualification only requires a 5% knowledge of the subject? What's the other 95% about? Does anybody not think that, while the occasional spelling mistake is OK, a complete disregard for grammar and not the slightest attempt to spell difficult words correctly makes for difficult reading?

Does anyone realize that, proving my arguments about proper English, that the subject line has SIX periods, where only THREE are needed?
