|  Hi, Well, I wasn't targetting anyone in particular. I just wanted to let my thought out to the general audience, so those who do write big paragraphs (you know who you are) will understand why I'm b*tching.  I know the 'Net is unformal, and we should talk any way we want, but it doesn't hurt to practice proper grammar and spelling. It's like talking to someone in person; you don't want them scratching their head trying to figure out what the hell you're talking about. Bye! ------------------ Gautam N.

| First off Guatam... targetting should be targeting (only one "T") and unformal is not a word. And just to let you criticize your own posts, I've noticed another spelling boo boo in one of your posts, and improper use of grammer in another. Can you find them?

| Hi, Hehe, crap, I was off by a letter for both those words. Oh well. As for spelling and grammar. Well, I don't exactly write my messages like I'm writing an essay. Anywho, lets not get carried away at pointing fingers at those who can't spell or use proper grammar; my original post was about splitting up paragraphs and not spelling or grammar. And as always, I can always use the arguement English is not my first language (even though I moved to Canada 12 years ago and have spoken/written nothing but English). 96GTS: Actually, we don't need a spellchecker; we could just rely on AxemanZZ to check our spelling and grammar.

| Gautam, You stated, "I noticed over time". You have only 97 post. You are a puppy, Mabey a educated puppy, but a puppy. We all fogive and go on here. This is not grammar school. It is a Mustang MESSAGE board. Lighten up, don't take life so serous. Oh by the way, don't beat up on me, I entered the work force at the age of 13, and had to sacrafice education to help raise the family. So some of this text may be wrong acording to you high standards. ------------------ Jason B Johnson 88LX,speed density,edel heads,4.30s,B-303,cobra,tremac, 12.38 @ 111.28 1.80 60ft 28X10 street tires 12.17 @ 112 26 X 10 slicks |

| Yeah, high standards for someone who cant spell? Maybe you should concentrate on your spelling, and not so much on your paragraphs, then we can understand what YOU are trying to say. ------------------ 1993 GT/AOD '93 Mustang GT |

| Hi, Oh crap, I can't believe how this all backfired on me. I mean, all I asked for was splitting up paragraphs.  And these paragraphs didn't even have to be split up according to the English language/grammar. I don't believe I have a spelling problem; if I do make a spelling error, it's most likely a typo. Oh well... Bye! ------------------ Gautam N. Lad http://www.cubicdesign.com http://www.cubicdesign.com/mustang/ |

| I have requested Dan to initiate a spellchecker option, however the option was not deemed feasible. In the meantime, I believe it is neither time nor effort consuming to scan your posts for spelling errors. Like it or not, people will judge you based on your word choice and spelling. |

| Ok I'm just going to throw out my 2 cents. Personally I come on here to post and read about mustang info. I could give a $hit about grammar spelling etc etc. I am a college student and get quite enough of that crap at school. When I am at home I want to be able to drop my guard and not worry about it. That being said I have multiple and many errors of all type in every post I make probably and if people think i'm not educated or less of a person becuase of it that's their judgement to make.(notice that last sentence was a run on sentence huh?) I don't mind splitting my big paragraphs up into little ones if it makes it easier for people to read, but as long as people can understand what i'm saying(I don't think a few spellliing or grammar mistakes will change that) then i'm not going to waste my time trying to make my posts look pretty. ------------------ 92 AOD GT, K&N, ram air, pulleys, 2 ch. flowmasters, 4:10's, shift kit, 1 5/8 mac longtubes and offroad hpipe 14.249 @ 97.34 mph before the headers and hpipe |
