Hey anytime! What are you needing, I may have something?? Just bought a house, so some parts may be finding new homes if I know I won't be using them on the 1/2 ton:D

Americans for the most part are just lazy morons. Poor spelling and grammar are just the tip of the iceberg.



It isn't "seen" unless you live in a hillbilly/redneck part of the US...



I don't see the difference, unless you're referring to a verbal conversation vs. a written form of communication. Incorrect spelling and word usage both make a person look like a moron in my book and I usually don't give those types of people the time of day.

Good communication skills are much more important than most people think and no amount of rebuttals will convince me otherwise, although they might be fun to read (if I don't get a headache from trying to decipher them).

sorry i didn't know i had to be a college graduate to be able to run a pulling truck??
 
You don't...hell, I dropped out...but it does make you seem like less of a mouth breather if you at least make the effort to try;)

another thing i think is funny that want to talk trash and bash redneck/hillbill's whatever you wanna call it???? where the hell you think tractor/truck pulling come from......... yea im a good ol country boy grew up on a farm and damn proud of where i come from if you got a damn problem with it i live in west tn call me i'll give you a address of where to come meet me:hehe:
 
Bud, I sell farm equipment (and farm the family farm with the rest of the family), and deal with those good ole boys every damn day...I'm proud to consider myself one of them. That doesn't mean I have an excuse to be a complete moron and not be able to write or talk like I have a fully functioning brain...and nor does it them!

As for inventing truck and tractor pulling, who gives a chit...just becasue you pull trucks are you allowed to talk and write like an idiot??

:hehe:

Well, where was the memo? Or did Gene send it out, and I couldn't understand it??

Now, I've never claimed to be the world's greatest speller, or perfect with my grammar and punctuation skills, but I can form cohesive structure and usually use the correct wording.

I'm not either, but after seeing how pathetic the majority of Americans are at spelling, punctuation, and grammar it makes the average guy look great!

In my experience, the people who are the worst in this area are usually the ENGLISH TEACHERS. It's no wonder the rest of this country is going down the tubes...

The other one I love is how everything has an " 's " on the end of it. Do people not know the difference between the plural and possessive suffixes? Microsoft hasn't helped with this one either, because if you use the plural suffix it will flag it as being wrong and the only way to "fix" it is to add an apostrophe.
 
I think the worst part of this, is the fact that he's apparently PROUD of the fact that he can't spell. I run into this more and more as time goes on. "You know what I mean" they always say. I shouldn't have to do any translating; we speak the same language! There's always going to be small typos, spelling, and grammar issues here and there; but if you haven't gotten the general idea of the English language by adulthood, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! If you are capable of typing a message correctly and just choose not to, then you are just lazy and not worthy of a respectable response.

Funny, I've never graduated from college and my communication skills are apparently at least above average.

Ever heard of capitalization? Maybe the two question marks at the end of the sentence make up for it?

I just thought of another pair of misused words that don't mean the same thing, Capital and Capitol.

I'm not a parts guy...wish I was...being part of the ownership means that I'm able to do it all. Day to day, I run the shop...but I also help anyone I see stand there not being helped when someone else is busy. When your name is on the door, you try to make things right, no matter what that is.


But either way, from your post above, you're starting to understand...it does make you look like a moron, and as far as I'm concerned, you are until you prove yourself otherwise.


All people start out given the same opportunities to gain respect, on any level be it spelling and grammar or something of a more valuable nature. Some destroy that opportunity in the beginning and must gain it back by hard work and proofreading;) Others don't squander the opportunity and enjoy a life without online ridicule of being an inbred, mouth breathing sledpulling, e-warrior:badidea:

To all those watching, the choice is yours;):welcome:

well since i have finaly got all ya'll big time diesel guys to pay attention to me now can i get somebody to tell me how to put a smoke switch on my puller its a 12v if that helps and please tell me how to take the silencer ring out cuz for some reason i cant seem to find it?
 
There has been a huge influx recently of people that don't know the difference between "in" "an" and "and" and it make it hard to read what they are saying.

Made up example, not an actual quote-

"This weekend at Scheid we had in after party at our hotel, my group drank 3 cases of beer, in a handle of Jack"

If you read it out loud it sounds correct, but its hell to read. I've seen this no less than a dozen times in the past week. I have to read it over and over again to try to figure out what the person is trying to say.
