I am doing so such thing. You are ignorant and you are being rude, it's a bad combination.

The English Rule has several variations by jurisdiction, you'll find a handy map here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_rule_(attorney's_fees)

In England (where pounds come from) costs are not always rewarded, but very frequently, they are: and it's actual costs, not some fixed fee. A litigant who spends more on solicitors indemnifies the loser accordingly.

Perhaps you live somewhere where this is not the usual basis. Perhaps you just felt like being rude online. We'll never know.
