Since you made a specific mention about my peeve (the usage of would), the only thing I can tell you from my personal perspective and experience is that, no, I don't think anyone is "wrong" for doing it or that my way is right or better. Â Do I find it irksome, like nails on a chalkboard? Â Sure. Â Will I avoid roleplayers who prefer to type in that style? Â Not in the least.
I've roleplayed with people who have difficulty with the English language, be it through personal barriers or language barriers. Â What matters most to me is the effort applied. Â As long as the person appears to be genuinely trying to RP (even if they're "trolling" or misbehaving) I will certainly give them the benefit of the doubt.
You're right, though, no one should come into this thread viewing it as what to do or not to do in roleplay, because everyone is different and it's all subjective. Â Roleplay with the people you enjoy and avoid the people that you don't. Â That has and always will be the mode by which I operate. Â It doesn't matter to me if you're good at spelling/grammar or bad at it, good at roleplay or bad at it. Â As long as I enjoy being around you and interacting with your character, then it's all gravy.
