Or is it just me?

As I said before, the use of shorthand typing or sms text makes messages very difficult to understand and read properly.

Could be my son, could be

Requires too much work to "read" them. Could make a valid point but it gets lost in the translation, if one finishes a post that is.

Honestly, I didn't even notice it.

Boy, that Scooby Doo is getting old and grumpy.

Probably doesn't have anything else to do.

Talk about generation gap! There are some real antiques on this forum...eh?
I've recieved enough flak on account of my English, thereby taking into consideration the Fatherly figures on this forum, I pledge to improve the grammatical content of my posts!

As always, I appreciate the constructive criticsm!

You better do that son, cause I'm carrying your a$$ here with 30 percent approval rate

It has nothing to do with age or generation. It has to do with making yourself understood. You make valid points, but it's clear that some of us give up reading your posts, because it's just too much like hard work.

How do you think your posts come across to people who's first language isn't necessarily English?

Do you understand how the human brain reads? You can take any word and mix up all the letters, but so long as the first and last one are in the correct place, then the word can be understood. Omitting letters from words is confusing and makes it difficult to read properly. I only want to have to read something once, not a gazillion times to understand it.

Choco you've nailed it. Thank you.


For the unemployed Dutch imbecile whose sole purpose in life seems to be adding post counts on a foriegn forum (how pathetic), I'm still gainfully employed and have a job lined up back home without even a day's break in between.

Good for you!

Unfortunately, you had to search for your way out by mentioning the post count. How pathetic is that!

I couldn't really care less whether is was 1 or 100,000. I have my investments to bother about. Not you or my postcount.

Go work your regular a$$ of then. I rather be slightly off the 'paved' road of life and have my entrepreneurial desires evolved than 'following' the masses like you.

Think about that Doggie.
You're dribbling by the way. Use a tissue
