Has anybody noticed the increasing number of threads in which people attempt to critizise other's spelling? Im so sorry, but i've read quite a few of these 'dont mean to be rude but...' responses in several threads in a matter of days. Frankly, i've grown tired of it. In my opinion this is 1-a car forum, not an english or a grammar class. 2- its not necessary for anybody to use 'proper' rules of grammar or english...yes, if the person can get their point across effectively, us, the rest of the posters can help him/her out better. So its in the posters best interest to do so..but if they dont, then its his/her choice. 3-Regardless of spelling, most of the time people post here to get help with their car. The motto of the club stands in the front page as "dedicated to the preservation and performance of the 89-95 thunderbird super coupe and 89-90 cougar xr-7", and it doesnt say "dedicated to make you a great speaker and writer of the english language." Keep that in mind. All of us have had 'those days' in which spelling right is just not a priority, i know i've done it.
I guess the point that im trying to make is, if you have nothing to say about the subject of the thread or something somehow related to it, hold back your comment....specially if its grammar related. If you feel that the grammar is awful, just dont bother replying. Its the risk the poster has to take when THEY dont take the time to write properly. If they dont write properly, they might get no help...period. If by anychance I am perhaps wrong, then the club membership and officers might want to establish 'grammar rules' and enforce them.
What do you guys think? .......but regardless, thanx for allowing me to vent. I've just seen too many of these....literaly like 7 or 8 displays in a matter of a couple days...and in two or three forums. I just got overwhelmed.
