I think he needs to learn to spell before he worries about his car!
Very amusing though!
I have not seen you posting lately?
I have refered many to your website and spend lots of time there reading myself.
If I ever have trouble with Corvette electronics I will be there for sure.
I got the cruise on my 94 working full time now, the module was bad (the brain under the dash).
Keep up the new projects on the website! And thanks for providing all of the information.

 

It's summer - I been out Driving!!! And working on a few of my other hobbies:

And just generally hanging around:

 

Wut is rong weth hiz speling?

Jeezzz....are public schools really cranking out people of this caliber?

 

Can you spell "O p t i s p a r k f a i l u r e"?

I knew you could... :blueangel::

 

Yes, Opti-spank-failure. Washed da ingine noe I caint getum ta runs.
Good guess.

 

.I think you are off base here because you jumped to an erroneous conclusion. I don't think it's fair to assume he's uneducated, my guess is that he immigrated to this country and English is a second language for him. MANY people LIKE MY WIFE were born and well educated in other countries. While my wife can speak and understand English very well she does have some difficulty writing English, and I guarantee you would never make a comment like that if you were to meet her. BTW how many languages can you speak, read, and write proficiently, my wife can speak several Korean, Italian, English, some Japanese and a little Chinese. I'm NOT flaming you but most people here speak only one language unless they have parents who immigrated here. Just for the record I was born & raised here in the US and like most I can only speak English, I can understand quite a bit of Spanish and only a very little bit of Korean.
I suggest we all be a little more tolerant and not jump to conclusions which can offend others. Let us celibrate our diversity
:cheers:

 

Yankee...yo hablo, leo, y escribo dos idiomas. Usted puede hablar Ingles y Espanol cuando vive en la frontera de Mejico. Yo quiero aprender Aleman tambien. En negocio, es necesario, y mis clientes lo aprecian. Lo tiene mas preguntas?

So you don't have to have it translated, I will write the rest in English. I see people come into my office on a daily basis and hand me employment applications that are rife with misspellings. Half of these people are functionally illiterate, yet they were passed through several grades of public school. I have yet to see an application from a private school alumni like this. The ironic part is that most of the applicants who were born and raised in Mexico speak, read, and write flawless English. Same for the ones from Germany. It's the locals who have trouble. And it isn't just here. I've worked in various locations across the country and encountered the same thing. Incidentally, I am white. My Spanish is self taught. I would simply be at a serious disadvantage here without being able to speak and understand it.

Perhaps I came off like I was hammering the noble profession of teaching, which was not my intention. I went K-12 to public schools and had some great teachers. My post was meant as a joking/sarcastic response to a funny post. But many a truth is said in jest.

Bottom line, sorry if I offended you, but take the post and my response as what they are.....a joke. Peace

so..

It is more important to you to make fun of this guy for his typing skills (not spelling), than to offer him help??

:mad

Personally, i would (oops, I forgot to make that a "capital" i )
rather that you post that you had helped someone less knowledgable than yourself.

Please forgive my LESS than perfect grammer

 

Wow you guys are harsh. Didn't your mom ever tell you to be nice?

 

His spelling/typing skills aren't what tipped me off to his stupidity. It was his taking an optispark car through an automatic car wash that clued me in.

Hell, I drive an L98 and I know better than that. :rolleyes:

 

Well, I dont know about his grammer OR spelling, but his Photography is ORDINARY!!!!!

Get some perspective young man. Never MIND warming filters and the like. LIGHT, COMPOSITION, COMPOSITION . A-L-W-A-Y-S !!!

 

I agree - the photos for the most part suck. However, it looks more to me like *once again*, he's trying to set up an informational guide to help others who are interested in taking their own photos and seeing some of these magnificent places.

Thanks again, Bryan! :D
