I think hacker and zelda_god are the same person.
Both can't spell for shit;
Both don't use capital letters;
Both post posts roughly three words long;
Both make my eyes bleed every time I see their posts.
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

 You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.

Lots of people don't use capital letters and can't spell. This is the internet after all.
Also, your avatar is broken.

Yeah, I know. This topic regularly comes up in technical circles. The problem is that there's a difference between an internet and the Internet (which is just one specific internet). That's why most programmers and engineers, including myself, refuse to recognize the lower-case spelling.

I know what you're saying, but it's nevertheless an accepted spelling of the word. So calling someone out on it is laughable. Or do you also correct people for not using "whom?"

I wasn't seriously calling him out on it. It was just the overly technical part of me taking control over myself.

Oh, I know. 
To put it in other words, though, it's like correcting Syd with: "Lots of people do not use capital letters and cannot spell."
One thinks "wait, that doesn't even really work as a joke..." Nevertheless, I know where you're coming from.
