Dear people who type in all lowercase

Most leave school in their late teens. Plenty of time to learn on their own if, they wish to.
Too late then Eddie. One needs to learn proper English in grade school. Ever try and break someone of bad habits? It's as close to an impossible task as one can have.
 
I guess grammar is not important to everyone. Neither is correct spelling. I just have a difficult time taking advice or direction from someone who couldn't spell _____ if they had a mouthful of the stuff.
Hard to come across as an intelligent person if you can't communicate correctly.
It takes a lot of words to learn knowledge, but knowing how to convey those words in the proper syntax is another thing! You may know a lot of words.. but if you don't know what they mean or how to use them correctly, just means that you know a lot of words!

It is, unless you care enough to improve yourself. I have a 31 year old plumber working for us who will not study for the Journeyman exam because, "I barely graduated from high school and I don't do well on tests".
He has a child to support. He shows no ambition to improve upon his lot. Difference in pay scale is large. The worst part of all is, it's an open book exam. Too many people give up and stop learning when they leave school. I call BS!

On a flight from Florida to Pennsylvania, I sat next to a rather well dressed and bejeweled woman. Striking up a conversation, I asked her where she was from. She replied "Certainly not a place where they end a sentence with a preposition", so I rephrased the question and asked "Where are you from, bitch"? :p
 
One of my other hobbies is making rocket motors. I harshly judge people by their writing skills. If you cannot spell "propellant" I am not going to help you make it.

Now don't any plumbers jump on me for this!

Why don't you just give him the answers Eddie!

1 The boss is an asshole.
2 Pay day is on Friday.
3 Shit rolls down hill.
4 Don't chew your fingernails.

I hope everyone takes this how I intended it, lol.

Somebody has been doing that for him all his life. That is why he is like he is.

Hog,
Which begs the question to that woman, what does your uncle do in his spare time?

I have a vindictive keyboard. Sometimes when I hit the shift key it refuses to cooperate. It must have been influenced by E. E. Cummings or something.

I think this is a good point...if you are able to live comfortable enough and your bills are paid why should anyone care??? This forum has a high percentage of intelligent people. Some forums do not. There is a big difference in not spelling something correct or using proper grammar/punctuation and purposely trying to stay stoopid. That drives me out of my skull...e.g., listing something "For Sell", because the guy needs to get it "saled." I cannot believe in this day and age there are people in this country that seriously don't know the difference between sell and sale. Come on sick stupid people. I really don't see it on this forum, but it is on many others with a classifieds section.
I also believe cell phones are a lot of the reason why some posts are completely senseless. I don't post from my cell phone for this reason, it is funny if you pay attention to what the communist, liberal democrats have programmed cell phones to "change" certain words to. Anything related to guns or shooting always has non gun related words offered as alternates or it will change them to a word not even close in meaning, but not gun related.
 
This post is friggin worthless, I'll take info and suggestions from a person with broken speech or grammar as long as it comes from learned knowledge and experience.
What I can't handle is some smooth talking-writing punk who has overheard or read something and decides it's his duty to inform the world of his new found wisdom.

#3 Might be wrong if it's pumped uphill,just saying.
 
"Certainly not a place where they end a sentence with a preposition".

I got my arse chewed on here for this exact thing, just sayin`.....:rolleyes:

I`m a self imposed, detail oriented freak, that includes the written English language.

That being said, I`m also human and make mistakes, deal with it......:p
