If you're gonna rant and rave at least make a little sense or point to the thread in question! That way those of us that missed the original thread would have a clue what has you so upset...

Oh, additionally, I could not for the life of me figure out what "EMB" means in the context of this message.. I managed to come up with at least 20 things that seem to use that acronym in their name/web site/etc.

anyways people who use poor grammar make fools of themselves. I loose most respect or interest in a thread when the person is obviously uneducated. spelling mistakes happena nd im fine with that, its just the obvious cases where people cant properly speak english (given it isnt a 2nd language to them) is where i laugh and exit the thread because its a waste of my time usually


If you have graduated from high school and STILL dont know your grammar, well i pity you
hmm, I usually don't care, but sometimes it's just too damn annoying when people who can't write show up and then get in an uproar when people complain. Like:

'"Why are all of the honda civic owners out there sleeping on the protege what up with that"

it means enough mother bitches. lol i dunno, i can deal with the poor spelling, but what gets me, is the lack of commas, and periods. its hard to follow a hugh run on sentence, especially when that run on sentence is a page long.

WTF does it matter if someone spells something wrong. If you can read it and know what he/she meant, move on. This isn't english class, we are not getting graded.

All of you wanna-be grammar police are ******! F'ing ******!

"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"

SOME TYPE too FAST and ACCIDENTALLY make mistakes. It isn't that important to go back and change it.

So what if I inverted the 'I' and the 'E' in neighbor. You know what I mean.

If this forum wanted us to have everthing correct, then it would have a spell/grammar check, but it doesn't.

This is understandable. Lack of periods can become confusing.

here's a bright idea, "proof-read" your typing before posting.

Me, being myself, I wouldn't complain about this. Even though things are a little out of place, I completely understand what you are trying to say.

But there are some ****** out there that would die just to say "you spelled/spelt(for those past particlple freaks) this wrong or you used the wrong NO/know"
And half the time they misspelled/misspelt(for those past particlple freaks) something trying to correct someone.

These ppl need to give it a rest.

Here's a bright idea....

Some things are too long to proof read. It would be a waste of time to proof read your typing (especially if it's long) on something as simple as a forum.

I am not going to fail the forum *engrish class because of this.
