Why press a key (Caps Lock) twice when pressing Shift once would do the job? It's insania!

Wow. Thats a lot of rules!
Quite fussy to...
But the grammar and spelling ones are a blessed relief I feel, having been angered for too long by the half-arsed, illiterate scrawl so abundant across the tinternet these days. Though many of the other rules are kind of laughable seeing as they're broken in General Discussion all the time.

There may be a lot of rules, but that's the way we like it around here (half of us being practicing fascists in our spare time, of course). Even I, with my grade A at English A Level (in the days when an 'A' grade actually meant something ) find being corrected to use proper syntax, spelling and grammar generally improves my use of the English language. Consider the site's insistence upon it a healthy and (almost) subliminal form of education. Demonstrate your superior knowledge of syntax and grammar to your schoolfriends and no doubt they will "beat big you up".

Don't worry, you're not alone in having that problem around here.
I think you meant "patronising" rather than "patriotic". 
(I don't mean to be condensing.)
