Wait a minute aboatguy, I am also from Flint, MI. Although I'll never admit it again and I left 18 years ago never to return. You've got to check out some of this guys past threads. He has never claimed to be educated or employed for that matter so please don't blame the public schools. He is 18 years old, lost his license, is un-employed and plans on running for Mayor of Flint(see past threads). I could go on, but why?

poor sonicdragon... I am not sure if he cannot hold a conheisive thought for more then 5 words, or, if he moon lights as a spam writer. I question how he could get $40k... and build such a fright pig.

I am sorry smross33, from his posts he's in high school! However, he may ride a short yellow bus to school.

Wow!, you live in Mililani I remember when that area was just a bunch of sugar and pineapple fields. But I lived in Kaneohe, and went to Akahi Elementary, Kailua Intermediate and Kalaheo High before moving back to the mainland. Even with that substandard schooling, I learned English! I guess it was the 1/2 year at Camp Lejuene High School and 2 years at Jacksonville Senior High!

aboatguy- You're telling your age now. Mililani is quite a nice area now and it seems everyone wants a piece of it with the rising real estate prices.

Look, with all due respect, I don't believe any of the contributers
in this thread are likely to be receiving a Pulitzer or a Booker
nomination this year. Nor, dare I say, should anyone be holding
their breath in anticipation of receiving The Nobel Prize for
Literature in recognition of his overall body of work.

Go pull out your own junior and senior high yearbooks, look
through them to gaze at your friends and yourself, then reflect
a bit, please.

And enough with the feeding frenzy already ...

However, the reality is that his post was so confusing, I could not help him. And the bottom line is that he wanted and needed help. I feel helpless when I cannot translate a bad post... it sucks. So the solution is to make the poster speak more clearly.

It helps EVERYONE.

And.... I would not rag on someone for simply misspelling or less than perfect execution of the king's English. I'm certainly no English teacher. But if someone can not even make the attempt at punctuation, capitalization and is not even willing to look at what they have written before posting and discern whether or not anyone will be able to make even a smattering of sense out of it, I'm sorry. I've lost my patience for such a complete lack of caring for the most basic skills of communication. Talk to people of your own language, it ain't me.

Somewhere, a Microsoft spellcheck programer is banging his head against his computer. Just kidding, put some effort, any effort at all and you will see a lot more responses on how to fix your 'vette, not you grammer.

I am not sure what scares me more... my ability to comprehend what you wrote, or that you wrote it.
