The replies may be more of what you are looking for.

Fixed it for you. Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black.

100% agree, if you can't take the 2 seconds to respond with proper English, you are not worthy to drive a corvette, and shouldn't be welcome here.

This statement discusts me. Idots like you who have no ideal about what could be going on should just keep their traps shut. Whats make you so worthy?? What makes you so special that gives you the gull to even make a statement like this. Grow up stop playing with your pepe and get a life. Damn if I recall right can't should be cannot, 2 should be two, with should be in, get a life people like you are why there is so much haterad in this world. I need to sstop before I get banned enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True. Ignorance was indeed bliss. What scares me is driving a two-lane highway and I see coming toward me, a huge, weaving motor home driven by an octegenarian with the little oxygen line under his nose and he's TEXTING!

That's enough to make one need a change of underwear. Nothing like a guy driving his living room down the highway whilst typing. How did we come to this?

I seen on a couple news channels that younger kids are doing much better in spelling classes by texting alot,I think they said kids are learning to spell better by texting then talking on the phone.I don't do it alot but times change technology changes so relax and let it go along as they don't do it while driving,Can you imagine years ago that you would even be on a computer at home,But now you are Things are gonna change whether you like it or not.
