Seriously, everyone read this, noobs included.

Is it that hard to type so people can somewhat understand you when you post a problem? This isnt a fucking AIM chatroom where you can type however you please. Its been happening way too often lately and it seems like nobody is reading the stickies. Even when making a regular post, its just so annoying to have to try to understand what someone means instead of just being able to read it like any normal person would want.

Start using complete sentences and actual English words please.

:lol: :rolleyes:

Think this post is going to help? Sorry man, but the poor typing newbie problem will never be fixed... like many of our DSM's :(.

Well, I remember a thread a while back and it helped somewhat, but now it seems like we have gotten a new wave of it.

I agree, this is one topic that needs to be beaten to death. Repeatedly. I know this isn't NEDSM or NABR or anything, but it is important to me that we all act and sound like educated people, not teeny boppers that watch MTV all day because we don't even have a license yet, LOLz. Not to mention it makes it easier and more efficient to exchange information and help each other out.

Yeah it is a big issue...

I think its easier to speak properly than to do an oil change, and yet some people are asking about replacing heads or doing engine rebuilds while using grammar that resembles an 8 year old who watches cartoon network all day.

ayo ima reeplas mah ol turbo wit dat nu bigger 16g sheeeeeit yo

or

ey u kno dat 1 thing next 2 da otha thing by dat black thing on my car?

:screwy:

It is a problem. This won't help. The thing that seems to work best (but still not the greatest) is to just remind whoever it is that they need to type clearly and with proper grammar, etc. If they don't comply, flame them until they do or until they leave.

OK OK OK I'LL ADMIT IT!!!!!!!!








i failed english class....

So did I, but I don't let everyone know it by writing like a loser :D Damn midterm paper, I got it in a couple days late.

Dude I though, you not going school any more.

I've been out of school for 10 years, but I did fail english once (11th grade).

As much as I want to help people out here, I refuse to help people who don't even come close to trying to type right. I understand some people don't speak the best english, and some cant type for shit... but all that chat room-style writing is just terrible. Damn text messages too.

Damn text messages too.




god i hate texting.they put 26 letters on 9 keys.it takes you 10 minutes to type a 10 word sentance,when you could just call the person and tell them what you need to say in 30 seconds




pluss it cost me close to $30.00 extra from wrong numbers texting me each month.

I agree....It is very annoying to see people type like they arent even old enough to drive a car let alone do a 420A to 4G63 conversion....I think that they can have one warning...and after that then if they dont comply we should just not answer their questions until they decide to write correctly...

Fo show.. U all needzz to TyPe that english > yo.. Fo-rizz'e....

English is one of my best subjects, but not by choice or because I even pay attention in English class. Never paid attention, never really put forth much effort. In fact when I was in 10th grade, I didnt turn in hardly anything all of second quarter, still got an A. The teacher liked me and my buddy Tyler, it was great. Rather than doing research for papers when we were in the computer lab we looked at subs and amps for our cars. I think I got it from my dad. He always corrected me when I misspoke. My best/favorite subject is math.

I use AIM, and even on that I type properly... some people even complain because I use "too big of words." Don't get me wrong, I am still in High School (not for much longer though, thank God) but I don't want to go around and make it seem like I'm some un-educated typical pot-smoking teenager (No offense to the elder men who still smoke, you're experienced, it's all good.)

Hah.

but yeah, anyway. None of that "lol, rofl, jklmaofmnog.OmGZ" Crap.
Get over yourself.

And texting sucks too, I agree, call the person you lazy-ass.

Texting isnt that bad...For example, my gf is in class right now for her summer B session and Im texting her and she is texting me back. Once you do it for a while, you can do it fast :) lol

I would like to say that this post should not pertain to Killer, because while his posts sometimes give me a headache reading, they are often quite comical.

Yeah, but he cant help it either.

Yea, this doesnt apply to Killer, he tries hard to make us understand, Im assuming he is from another country or English wasnt his first language....You can tell a difference between a foreigner and someone with poor grammar.

Killer gets a free pass, only because we like him. Everybody else can suck a donkey nut. :rofl:

Yes, ESL is a whole different thing. It's the people that speak english as thier first language but are too lazy to put the effort in that are the problem.
