If you're neither, my apologies, but in this day and age of text messaging, email, and computer usage, spelling can be important. My parents drilled it into my head when I was a kid; they told me I had to learn spelling. If I wanted something, they told me I had to spell it. The hard way that I learned this was when I wanted a "desert" after dinner. They gave me some sand.
My absolute thing that annoys me is the ebonics I get at work...I had someone the other day say to me, "Lemme axe you a queshun."
Before they had a chance to say anything more, I said, "If it's a small question, will you be using a hatchet?"
People don't use ebonics near me anymore.

Since when is spelling a requirement for operating heavy equipment?
On the other hand, the backhoe operator who cut my underground data conduit THREE TIMES, needed a lesson in English comprehension!

wow, a couple of periods here and there wouldn't have hurt. I too had a vette in high school. I had a buddy that had a mid 80's 5.0 that he had built up and it was fast as crap. But we never challenged each other or got into it. We just loved to talk cars and go out cruising.
My advice, under no circumstances should you race. I wouldn't even want to race him at the track. I've spent wayyyyyyyyyy too many man hours into my car. There is no way I would risk all of that in just a few seconds. Just my .02 cents.

2) White Trash here drive little white pickup trucks at 85-90 mph while swerving in and out of traffic like demons.
3) Old folks driving...If they can see over the steering wheel, it can't be that bad. I passed a lady the other day driving a boat of a Lincoln and all I could see was knuckles and a giant white afro. Gotta agree, though, they drive 25 in a 50 mph zone...Drives me NUTS!
4) Soccer Moms in Hummers...Soccer moms shouldn't be driving 'em, they should be _______ them. Fill in the blank.
5 & 6) Yep, I agree with these...My own little bit to add to this, though, would be people that want to drive 55 mph in a 65 mph zone, and constantly make me turn cruise on and off.

Translation : Why are all of you ripping on this guy, he makes perfect sense!
Really though, I have been around computers all of my life since I was 8 years old, I have been using MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger since I was 14 or thereabouts, I am 19 now. I know my punctuation is not always correct; but I at least try to be coherent in my messages here. When using AOL or MSN, and you are all using the same horrible grammar and abbreviation, Fine, do that, it does make it easier to talk sometimes when you can do it quickly. DO NOT USE THE SAME STYLE OF TYPING HERE! When addressing a large audience, you should try to put it into a format that is comprehensible for the largest number of people. Not everyone here can read what you posted, largely because it is a kind of jargon when you speak like that, like the technical jargon of different trades.
If you want to be respected, take a few minutes and really try and make what you are typing correct, it's not a life or death matter, and there is no one timing how long it takes you to write your post, nor does anyone care how long it took you.
The guy you are talking about sounds alot like someone I knew, he claimed to have a 1974 Ford F-100 smallblock 302 that is putting 700hp to the rear wheels naturally aspirated, since he fills up with 87 octane I believe the U.S. Government should try to get his secrets from him
Don't sweat what people say about your car, especially if you don't have it yet Be cool, don't race them on the roads, I have seen too many people get tickets and suspensions doing that. Have fun with your new vette

And grow up seriously your gona ragg on a kid cause he doesnt want to use proper grammer. Wow rnt you bit wanna go tell all your old friends now??

I hate casual drivers:
Lead, follow, or get off the highway
Don't get to the end of an on-ramp doing 40MPH
Don't start braking 1/4 mile before the off ramp
Put down the damn cell phone and drive
Turn signals are NOT optional equipment
Merging traffic MUST yield
Lane Ends, Merge Left does not mean "only at the last possible minute"
STOP signs are not just a suggestion
Hummers are just obnoxious (visit fuh2.com) for a laugh
Big spoilers on front wheel drive cars (also look like carts)
The driver ahead of you can't keep a constant speed
Well, that's just a few of my irritants -- I'm kinda bitter about stuff

That's a good one!
A fellow that worked for me used that one.
Until I put a comment on a his performance review that he should make an effort to present himself in a more professional manner.
All I needed was for him to use "Axe" with a customer and leave them thinking that we were bunch of idiots.
I also worked with another guy who used "My bad" in a conference call. The customer said, "Pardon me?" about 3 times until he finally figured out what the guy said.
Your written words are the only thing that people can measure you by in this forum. What impression do you want to leave?
