The whole spelling and TTR thing.....

Another common reason for poor grammar/spelling, is that the poster is an immigrant!! I have read many posts from people for whom English is their 2nd language. Why don't you try posting on a forum that is in a language where you only have a bare minimum grasp of the language?? These people are our fellow drivers, or are hoping to be drivers, and are deserving of our respect and assistance.

 

Blow out, I see where you are coming from. I think you are directing your post to the um.... lets say cell phone generation. By cell phone generation, I don't mean kids or youth, I mean those of us who abbreviate words for texts,computers and satellite.
LMAO,LOL,Prolly, TTYL and a million other words.
I hope I'm not over stepping my boundary here by interpeting your thoughts or ideas.

I could probably improve my posts with better spelling (my weakness) or stop the over use of never ending sentences peppered with comma's. I think getting my words or idea down is more important than a few mistakes. I'd rather have correct info first, then I'll scan for spelling, then delete a few comma's and add a period. Sometimes I don't!

I haven't been critised for spelling, but have been dumped on for liking an auto tranny????? Funny thats allowed?
People on here will attack you for liking a certain brand of truck, engine, hood style or company to drive for, and correct you in a heart beat if you gave the wrong exit number or a wrong spec.....lol. They'll call you a #######, and misspell it while doing it!

I understand your joy, shall we say of words or language. I'm affraid the proper english is on the way of the dodo. Just like ye and thy. I also understand you want to read a full complete sentence, correct grammar and structure, but I think this is not the place to find it. Not that the posters are dumb, I think its just more common to use the abbreviated words. Most of us are in a hurry, or are fired up and fling fingers at the keyboard....lol. Ophs, sorry.
I'd rather read an interesting or thought provoking post with bad grammar than a grammaticly correct post that contains fluff or sarcastic comments.

I know book smart people that have problems with common sense, and on the other side of the scale I know people that are inventive, resourceful and can't spell or read. If I had a choice on which side of the scale to be on, I would always choose the inventive side.

 

Found a new avitar for you.

 

Now that is cold. I love it!
