Do you mean, ‘Do I have a grammar book’? Well, yes I do. Looks as though a minor writing technique was just a little over your head. I’ll try to dumb it down for you.

I always get a kick out of these type things. Since my writing and spelling skills are not the best, I have had my share of such posts. Usually, it comes back to bite them in the arse. I think 99.9%, of the people posting here, recognized the you wrote that way deliberately to make a funny type point.

The best one I remember was when a person made a big point correcting my spelling of a certain word. However, I had copied the spelling of the word from one of her previous posts because I knew I was bad at spelling. She was a bit embarrassed when I pointed that out to the forum.

OTOH, I have seen people debate a person, who’s spelling and grammar made me look like Shakespeare, strictly on his ideas. Not a single person corrected or even made any comments about his horrible writing skills.

In general, when people stoop to the tactic of correcting posts in that way, they can’t debate you with intelligent arguments.
