I think you need to learn a couple of things first i.e. how to spell, and then maybe how to punctuate. This is what a High School Graduate get's these days, a new truck... WOW. I continue to be amazed at what our schools are cranking out anymore. Might be the nicest kid in the world.

 

well my grandparents won't get me the fx4 till jan cauise they're tellin me thats the best time to buy on a 04 or 05 it depends on what the dealer can find and how it is to order the truck i want. i haven't ever been very good at english or spelling lol thats true

 

i had a hell of a time finding an fx4 with all the crap i wanted in it in my area (chicagoland) By jan youll have slim pickings on an 04 and youll have to either settle for something or order a new truck with no nice 04 incentives....just something to think about.

i see we have a another perfect senior member
what a rude comment CARPENTER has made about
the getting a new truck. what a butthole

 

Hey Honest Larry,
Who the %^&* do you think you are. I see that you are a new member. If you want to see rude come on over pal, I have your senior member right here. I was pointing out the mis-spelling and errors that our young friend made. I even pointed out that he maybe the nicest kid around. He seemed to take it in the manner it was intended. You on the other hand need to be slapped for general purposes. The senior members here just wait for smarta%^es like you.

 

lol...he said senior member...now that someone has been put in their place...
Good luck with getting the truck, hussle up on that and then give us some pics. Guess you are fortunate to get her free, but thats besides the point.

 

Boy Carpenter, I'm right there with you. Of course you made the cardinal sin by correcting someone on this site. How dare you? Someone actually started a whole post once, solely dedicated to the poor spelling and grammar on this site. Boy did he get ripped a new one.

All day long I see it in my office. Of course I've become so antagonistic that I correct everyone on every little mistake. And it's acutally worked, because now when people e-mail me they check it and check it again before they send it to me. They get so irritated if I catch something. The most common irritating error is, "Your Welcome" instead of "You're welcome."

When you correct someone, they get irritated and yell at you. But how about how we get irritated by reading toddler language? They don't think of that.

It is so bad, that I have decided to enter a new career at age 30. I applied for a teaching certificate a couple weeks ago and will be taking a certification test in four weeks. I'm hoping to get them while they're young to tell them the importance of appearing intelligent when they talk or write.

There's no need to get mad when someone tries to make you appear better. And I think that if you are going to graduate, one of the criteria should be knowing how to spell it.

Everyone please watch how politeley Carpenter responds when I correct him on a small error.

Carpenter, in your sentence, "I even pointed out that he maybe the nicest kid around," "maybe" should have been two words and not one. Just wanted to let you know.

Sincerely,

Guigster
SENIOR MEMBER

 

Guigster,

Thanks for your comments. I stand corrected on my usage of the wording "maybe" versus "may be". It's good to see that other members are aware of some of these items also. I work with several younger people and I'm amazed at their usage of the english language and the spelling that is utilized, or shall I say under utilized.

If you don't make any mistakes in life you will never learn anything.

I'm also somewhat worried on how some of our member's react when as you had mentioned "you dare to correct anyone".

 

You are very welcome Carpenter. I just wanted to let you know in case you were, oh let's say...on a job interview. And you had to provide a writing sample in order to get the job. I wouldn't want you to not get it because the interviewer thought you were uneducated. Just looking out for you.

Remember also, the reaction was from a (he, he, he) Junior Member.

 

Guigster,

Thanks for your insite and concern about my future, I guess. I'm touched, however I'm still trying to figure out what it is your trying to say in your last comments. You seem to be well how do I put this, "Beating around the bush about something". Spill it my friend.

 

Ok. You lost me now.

I was just trying to give an example to the non-believers of proper grammar how important it is. A job interivew, for example, would be somewhere where they'd want to be sure they knew how to write properly. It can be the difference maker in thier life's work.

I'm not beating around the bush about anything. If I hit on something, it was purely coincidental.
