Hey, I'm new on these forums - obviously, my name's Twin. I plan to stand for truth, justice, correct spelling and grammar - all that jazz.

Then you will be welcomed with open arms, among other things. Welcome! Where's your avatar from? I've seen it somewhere I'm sure.

Dammit! Normally, when someone new claims grammar skills I delight in finding something to pick upon from their introductory post. But while I'd have punctuated your post differently; I can see no problems with your choices.

Welcome.
Damn you!

Really? I stand for pain, suffering, the eating of otters and the torturing of noobs.

Hmm...

I stand for more than one sentence describing me.

I'm good.

I stand for nothing. It's either due to low morals or lazyness.

What are these "morals" of which you speak?

I stand a little lopsided, as my knee hurts.

Does this mean you play FFXI?

Also, if a muffin walks up to you carrying a soda, he's kinda your slave. I have tons of the little guys.

They outnumber the cockroaches.

Semicolon usage incorrect - consider revising.

Firstly, you're relying on Microsoft Word's grammar check. Well now, isn't that stupid?
Secondly, you apparently have it set to check 'grammar and style'. Style is a personal thing. Checking in 'grammar only' mode generates no complaints.
Lastly, on my copy if simply says "Semicolon Use (consider revising)"; nothing about it being incorrect; and nothing about being required to change.
