What is wrong with you people?

Holy crap. I thought this was inspired comedic genius...then I looked up your post history and you're simply a psychotic grammar nazi. You said you can overlook grammatical errors due to hypothetical language barriers or simple mistakes...but misspelling someone's name is unforgivable and deserving of working you into some sort of e-rage? Nielsen is a Danish adaption of a Greek Surname (thanks wikipedia!). It's a NAME and it is not of ENGLISH origin. I apologize that I HEARD a name and thus parsed it correctly as Neilson. You know, using the English language conventions you muddled through. You are correct that it IS Nielsen, but your explanation is ridiculous. The name is of Danish/Greek origin and has nothing to do with modern English language conventions.

Thank you very much atorcovac, I will be studious from here forward when making impromptu posts on an obscure message board dedicated to a 15 year-old flop.

assbergerscovac, you are the savior of IMDB.

As long as we are going to grammar nazi:

'You'd' is a bastardization and improper English.

'every day a lot' is redundant, hyperbole, and simply sloppy.

'Of course the two reasons for this are' requires a colon.

'1) Native speakers learn to speak first, and non-native speakers learn the writing first (or at least simultaneously). But that shouldn't be an excuse.'

This makes no sense whatsoever. It's OK, but it's not OK? You sound very confused about your own feelings on the matter. You require a comma after 'But' and no comma after 'speak first'. It's bad form to end a sentence in parentheses as it could simply have been the following sentence.

'2) English pronounciation is fúcked up beyond comprehension. Why was it designed to be so weird? I mean, you pronounce any given vowel differently, depending on which consonants or other vowels are surrounding it! It's completely ludicrous and illogical!'

I suppose you think this qualifies as sarcasm. It doesn't. Also, the word is 'pronunciation'. Why are you so lazy? It's in the dictionary after all.

'Now, the language of course has other problems too, and arbitrary, illogical, unexplained rules, like "Don't say 'play bowling, do say 'play golf'". But I think the "let's pronounce everything in a completely random way that can't be anticipated or concluded from the word alone"-rule takes the cake.

Sometimes you pronounce differently written words exactly the same, sometimes you pronounce a word differently based on context, although it's written identically.'

This sounds manic. You are arguing with yourself at this point. Mind your commas in the future please. You fail to use them when they are warranted, yet take some of your sentences to task with a saw-offed comma shotgun...

'Still, when you type someone's name, the least you could do, no matter how mentally (or otherwise) lazy and careless idiot you are, is to check how it's spelled (if you have been surrounded by a non-phonetic language all your life).'

If someone tells me his name is 'Bob', I'm going to assume it's Bob. Not Bahb, Bhab, Bawb...though it might very well be. That's a weird leap to make though that anyone would have a question regarding the spelling of 'Bob's' name. '(or otherwise)' is meaningless hyperbole once again. Please explain what this means! You really wanted to couch a meaningless thought in some ill used parentheses again, didn't you?

'Why did you fail this? Why do so many people fail this simple thing? How do you expect other people to think of you as an intelligent human being, if you can't EVEN perform this extremely simple task properly? If you are 5 years old, and just learned to type, I can forgive you.'

Well, I am 5 years old. How do you feel now? Yet, even at my humble age, I realize the emphasis should not have been put on 'even' but 'simple' where it actually belongs. 'can't' or 'perform' would have been decent options. In fact, you managed to pick the one word in that sentence where the emphasis has no context. Good one.

'If you call yourself an adult and think you are intelligent, I can't.'

This sentence is a mashup of two incomplete sentences and thoughts. It's a grammatic masterpiece. I can glean from your neanderthal rant that you disavow my claim to be an adult or intelligent. Congrats on an ironic delivery, but I don't believe it was intentional. These were things I never claimed to be, yet in an increasingly ironic twist, you seem to assume me to be.
