Half the f-ing time I have no idea what some of the people on here are saying. Maybe you should get an education before you get all stupid into cars and sh*t. Yeah, I know it's summer... go to summer-school. If english is a second language for you then I understand. Aside from that, if english is your only language learn how to speak it. Spend more time on your homework and less time on annoying exhaust systems, stickers, and fancy lights.

Here's one example of what I mean:


My opinion of rice is cars that somehow share different manufacturers due to their badging.

What the hell is even being said here??!! lololol :banghead: :guns: :rofl:

Oh man, there are some classics on this forum...

I guess the problem is that half the people are 13 and are still in grade school. They don't know a verb from a noun.

Weeeeeeeew! Weeeeeeeew! You there! The one about to type "Your" when you are supposed to type "You're"....STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD AND DROP YOUR MOUSE! What??? did you call me a "looser"? It's LOSER jackass. If you are going to insult me, at least get the spelling right.

Grammar Police out!

there is also a very fine line between grammer policing and whoring... :D a line in which ZorroAMG often does a lil 2-step on... :thumbsup:

- they're, there and their
- you're and your
- then and than
- lose and loose
- loser and looser
- who's and whose
- affect and effect
- allowed and aloud
- border and boarder
- alot (isn't a word)
- irregardless (isn't a word)
- improper use of apostrophe for pluralization
- lack of punctuation and run-on sentences
- improper capitalization

WTF? This shit is taught in elementary and junior high school. These skills are used on a daily basis, so why not do it properly? Some posts I've seen are written by what appears to be borderline functional illiterates.

Sadly, written English is the most neglected everyday skill. People just don't care if there's a grammatical or spelling error, but how would much would you care if the carpenter building your house can't do fractions? What if the woman doing payroll can't do basic arithmetic when she adds up the hours on your time card?

Fuck, have some pride in what you write. Make it easier for others to read and you'll clearly convey your thoughts. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do so. I know some folks write exactly as they speak, but sometimes it only makes sense to the author.

Okay, enough ranting. This is a chat forum and not real life. Back to regularly scheduled programming. By the way, I'm not an English teacher.
