They shoudl look like lines in your plates....what else would they look like
?

yeah pretty much, grooves aren't going to be like big indents into your plates, they are solid nylon plastic. Grooves are just a bunch of lines in the plates, helps to guide the rail in the middle.

Umm, no, a groove should be as deep as possible and should be shaped so when you lock onto a rail it fits perfectly in the groove. Little lines in your plate won't work nearly as well as having them worn down a grip where you grind the most.

O.o did that happen naturally Antho or did you take a file to those, i can't imagine how much mileage those must have gotten if that happened naturally O.o

Im pretty sure that's a natural groove, I grinded a sharp concrete ledge just one time with my slo-bros and a huge chunk came off just like on antho's
