Default The amount of Ignorance is killing me!

What has happened to the English vocabulary? There is so much broken English in these posts that it is hard to figure out what some of you are trying to say or asking information on!

Maybe you need to pay as much attention at School as you do with your quads! My dog is bigger than your dog is 5th grade behavior at best! I know that we all have more knowledge to gain and share concerning our Sport Quads but at this rate it is pathetic!

And don't give me this crap of the freedom of speech as I have only asked that you make your speech understandable!

Gramps - not everyone has the benefit of Metro DC education/environment. Check the poster's location when they butcher the written language, you may notice some interesting trends. FWIW, my son moved from Northern Va to JAX FL for a year and was able to move up one full grade because of the Northern Va curriculum. Now that he's back from his walkabout, it's painfully obvious that he didn't learn anything in FL public schools.

I understand what you are getting at Gramps.

Not all, but most of the younger generations do not have parents that spent alot of time helping with school work. Both parents have to work to make ends meet.

You were lucky to grow up when you did. Help kids in your neighborhood learn. Maybe a English class at Gramps. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I'm 34 and keep a dictionary beside me for spelling. When I use spell checker in MSWord, it can't figure out what I am spelling some times. Aribic I guess.

I have learned to read the code rather than fight the code.

Go up to the customize button on your task bar up above.

Once in that section check Would you like to draft your messages using the WYSIWYG Editor?

I feel your pain.

Keep in mind that most of it is probably intentional, to speed things up. (text message)

However, some is very bad.
