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 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.

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.
