The only way you can be "wrong" at grammar is if you are misunderstood. You understood all their posts, thus they are correct

This sounds like something on a standardized test, like, "Which is a correct way of concluding that essay?"

But he didn't necessarily understand that it was done in jest or irony, thus they are incorrect! Oh! Buuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnn*.

Also, I have no idea how one would even begin to go about performing a sexual act upon any sort of a "biscuit" whatsoever, regardless of which side of the pond you're on.

At least I can take pride in the fact that my only "mistakes" were an American spelling and a sentence fragment used purposefully for effect.

Again, my main complaint is with "experts" on the news who continually say things like "this bill will wreck havoc on our financial system" constantly. I hate talking points in and of themselves, but when they continually say the wrong thing over and over again because they are repeating said talking point, it becomes especially grating. I could care less about grammar on an informal internet forum. Well, as long as I can understand what you are talking about.

Oh, and yeah, saying "EPIC FAIL!" constantly is dumb, but dumb in and of itself, not simply because it is ungrammatical. But I can see why it would be annoying to someone. "My bad" is another one everyone says now, even people entirely disconnected from the dialects where it is commonly used. BUT at least it is how it is actually said. Saying "wreck havoc" is like saying "My brad".

Does this mean that 70% of your posts have bad grammar?

I've never really been bothered all that much about another's grammar mistake(s). Partly because I'm not very good with grammar myself but mainly because I don't believe anyone has perfect grammar. We all make a mistake every now and then, some way more then others.
