I was hoping you would put your 2 cents in. I notice you always have a readable post. Sometimes I get screwed up with those big words you use.

I also agree that there are alot of worthless posts in this form. I also make typos as I visit this form often at 3AM or so. Anyways, there is a roadless meeting in Gresham, Oregon and Vancouver, WA today. I will be headed there in a few hours, I also posted another link to a BLM land issue in the land, trail and enviro section. Hope people check it out

Retro, screwing you up is not my intent, I assure you. I did not deliberately overestimate your vocabulary. If I use any word you can't find in a dictionary, E-mail me and I'll explain if I can.

I thought of a couple more possible motivations for atrocious posts:

1) Chat room syndrome. The "in" language use may be zero grammar, spelling accuracy, punctuation, and capitalization. You know?

2) Macho, macho man syndrome. Ain't no real he-man ever gonna mess with them stinkin', sissified good writin' practices. An i kin cuss whenever i want to . . .

In spite of appearances, I cling to the hope that we still out number the mental midgets & knowing that school will eventually start again sustains me. I only pray that some of them will attend this year, leaving their comic books in their locker. Genetically corrupted? I'm reminded of this story:
Two cousins talking: No.1: "my dad kin lick yer Dad!".
No. 2: "whatter yer talkin bout? Yer dad IS my dad!"

I like fakie99's response. Notice the cutting down of others, yet his own lack of capitalization says it all.

Too funny,

Are you certain "LITERACY" is the best possible title for your topic, retro?
