I have noticed a few posts lately that are very hard to read due to improper punctuation and/or grammer. I am by no means a teacher and i dont mean to sound like a dick, but trying to help someone who writes a post that doesnt include any periods (.) or commas (,) is extremely hard, and i usually stop trying to read after the fourth line of run-on sentance. Every time i post, i proof read to make sure it sound proper, i understand that i will spell words wrong and use improper grammer as well, but some posts are just rediculous. so PLEASE proof read your posts before hitting the button, if you cant understand it.... how do you expect us to?

I've noticed this alot too. Mispelling a complex word is one thing. but sounding like an illiterate person trying to write a rap song is completley different... I'm almost totally sure that anyone who is intelligent enough to hook up an internet connection, let alone do any kind of auto motive repair, is infact intelligent enough to read and write...

I do the same. If I can't understand it, I won't try to read all of it and will not respond. I haven't been a student for 55 years, but damned if I can't do better than some of what I see on this one eyed monster.

I completely agree with you guys.

Hello guys new to the forum so sorry for being a newb my name is James I have a problem my truck doesn't run i took it to a mechanic and he claims it muffler bearings and say it need blinker fluid to what do you guys think is that true i have 40 inch tires on stock gears with the v6 could that be an issue the tranny is slipping to what can i do to prevent that

And then after you correct them, they complain about being "graded". HONESTLY, do you read what you type, even once??? /rant

I noticed the same thing. I didn't want to come off as a punk, so I don't say anything. I was starting to believe I was dyslexic.

I just bot a 94 ram i think its the offraod edishun wit the 360 and the 5.9 v8 and i wanna no wats the biggest tires i can run also what are sum good mods to make it go faster cause its not very fast for a v8 and get better gas mileage cause im only getting 13 miles to the gallon how about a thrawtle body spaver and a jet chip is that a good tooner whats the best cold air intake also who makes the loudest exhaust? Where do i go to get the 14x3 airhood mod and wat about the standalone oil breather mod thing wats that? What would it take to convert it to a stick cause i dont like automatics can i do it myself? Where do i get the s-bolt thing for the aircleaner mod i cant figure out how to make won.

edit - i actually typed that entire thing in capital letters and it posted it regular anyway. So I don't even know how the morons get around that.
