I was trying to be polite....it is a tad jacked up though. I don't see one punctuation in that whole paragraph. Seems like texting is really messing up proper English in written form these days.

Congrats on another using another crutch that has crept into people's day-to-day communication.

It was doing this before we replaced the wires. But when i reinstalled his wires for him. I made sure not to cross the wires by doing one at a time. But....who knows the kid before him might of crossed the wires.

Memorize this sequence: 1 - 8 - 4 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 7 - 2.

If you would read sir it revs to 5000 if you ease into with no problems and if you stomp on the gas pedal it won't go past 3000. Since when has this become a grammar forum? I guess in todays society its all about spelling instead of helping someone out.

It could be that I'm just too old and set in my ways for this modrun society in which I live, but it was once considered a sign of disrespect to be careless in written communication. Anachronistic old sod that I am, I still consider it disrespectful.

The people who participate in this forum and offer their experience and wisdom are doing you a favor out of the goodness of their hearts. You should at least pretend to appreciate it.

I don't have to pretend to appreciate it because i greatly appreciate their help. When i wrote the first thread i was in a hurry. I was trying to get a fast reply so he wouldn't sell his truck. But....to late he already sold it today it makes me mad. Dodge are strong running trucks always have been they just have issues. So does every other vehicle that is made. To everyone that helped on this post thanks and god bless.

Probably being as old, or older...it takes additional time to try to interpret what someone is trying to say. And I am less patient in my old age...used most of it up raising kids I suppose.

Sometimes a post is so unreadable I just skip it. When I get resumes or job applications from people and they are not technically correct or use terrible grammer (a typo or two usually overlooked) I usually just cast them aside. It is an indication of possible job performance and attention to detail. If they cannot take the time to get it correct, I don't have time to interpret!

Using punctuation and an attempt at logical use of words makes it easier and therefore, more likely to get a good response....imho....
