Stupid fueling question

Depending which tank ur fuel gauge reads . It may show u have a full tank and it will drop rapidly as the tanks level out.

While certainly not a English Major........I was educated, so one could reasonably presume that I could put together a sentence that was understandable and used the correct words and expressions.....but then again I'm also not lazy, and have pride in my work product.

I personally think it's insulting for someone to communicate with another and not take the time to make the message understandable, spelled correctly and at least make an effort for the correct punctuation etc.

Take pride in EVERYTHING you do in life....it's really not that hard.

 

Grammer etc....I don't have time to fix what my spell check 'fixes' or my fat fingers mangle if I post before I notice.
Also, let's suppose I read a post using coup de grace in lieu of piece de resistance. Is there really a win in pointing it out? I understood it, probably other readers did as well. And isn't that the point of communication? That poster makes better money, and knows a ton more than I do, so really? I'm taking the good stuff and ignoring the trivial errors.
That's what works for me. YMMV

 

+1

And add to that those of us for whom English is not our first (or even second) language, for those like dyslexics for whom written language is a struggle on their best day, and those for whom Siri knows better..... Spelling is not the measure you make it out to be.

 

What’s this grammar you speak of? Is that some kind of tasty cracker?

 

I disagree, English was for me the easiest, by far. Then German , then French, and I’m still trying to become conversational in Spanish, a near 30 year struggle.

Finnish is devilishly difficult, like Basque.
