Not entirely sure what's going on with me, but when I type and then proof what I just typed, I'm often shocked (I mean a real WTF moment) at the differences between what I was thinking and what my fingers were inputting.
Probably my advanced age and declining motor skills, but if left as is, I comes across like the village idiot got on the keyboard.
Bruh I don't understand why u got a problem over they're about dat grammar cuz its not really important out here in this thang and its not like murdering and thieving iz happen on tha forum and other stuff their is happening about when them boyz was out in the C'Vettes pulling rubber on dat road and street raising instead of putting gas in the air at the track and other stuff type stuff dude yeah.

I always find this amazing that I can read ever-thing perfectly.
OP and those of you who (or is it whom?) agree. I have to ask you, if you're so picky about grammar, how did you settle for a Chevy with numerous paint and quality issues or 7th grade level dealer support? In the world of perfection GM is nowhere near the top. I would say the grammar on the C7 board matches the quality of the car. It's good enough and most can overlook the little mistakes for the price and performance you get.
Like top gear said it’s a stripper vs a dirty librarian. I bet the librarian will win the grammar test every time. You chose the stripper.
Sorry, but I have to defend the OP on this one. I cringe when I read some of the posts here...
A couple of days ago I came across a new one. And where did I find it? On this forum, of coarse! (pun!) Does spelled dose........and used more than once spelled the same way. Okay, maybe a typo. I make them from time to time two, (another pun) but then I usually catch them when I proof read a post before actually posting. Just some old fashioned thing I still do.

For those calling grammar conscience people high society, douches, rich bitches, etc., it is really just a matter of how you are presenting yourself to the world in my opinion. I throw out resumes if there is more than one spelling or grammatical error. I delete e-mails if I have to read them more than twice to understand what someone is trying to communicate. I understand that this is just a car forum, but if you practice something so SIMPLE and EASY as proper grammar and spelling in your everyday life, your professional life and the image you portray of yourself will reap the benefits.
BINGO Stig !!!!! Best hammer on the nail thus far !!!

Perfectly clear to me! Who reads all the letters! Really is, interesting theory!
To add additional levity to this discussion, in case anyone wondered what caused me to quote these two old references:
General Andrew Jackson “It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word!”
Rhett Buttler,"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
On Sunday, heard these two old gents talking at a Civil War Reenactment! Walked 5 miles to my neighbors home on dirt roads thru his “working plantation!” This reenactment is held on some of his farm fields. If you’re visiting Myrtle Beach it’s not far from I95, look up the Columns, Florence SC. They open it up for visits during the spring and summer.
Two old gents discussing the upcoming battle. The South always wins this one but many of the folks go up to Gettysburg where they lose!
Home was built in 1850’s. Has 23 columns.
Rear of home. Too hot in the summer, so folks often stayed on the shaded porch that circled the house.
Participants live for 3 days as if it were the 1860’s! Lots of horses, guns and cannons.
Butt weight. Were ain't gonna take youre word for all of this. Surely you'ld like to help, but witch is the principal word that oughta be used to illicit a response and effect an outcome? If youse tell me than it'll hep me choose witch ones cause two many peoples make them mistake's alls the time. Sea what i mean

I would have thought folks earning enough to own a c7 would also be able to post without butchering the English language and that they would care about appearing to be uneducated. From other posts in this thread, I see that's not the case!

I think so, and bonus points for a post that doesn't say something negative about the c7!

Nice.

I'm 73. Raised in an East Texas town of 12,000. Started paying Social Security when I was 14.
Worked for wages and salaries my entire life and leaning to write correctly has allowed me work, live, and play on five continents and has earned me a modicum of success in the process.
The basic rules of punctuation and grammar are not difficult to learn - even in later years.
Don't wear ignorance as a badge of honor it demeans you to do so.

Corvette: best bang for the buck. I own a Ferrari because of the sheer joy of ownership. The exclusivity is delicious.
Librarian vs. Stripper: depends. Many librarians are knockouts, love to to the "huff and puff," and can carry on a decent conversation after the horizontal mambo: smart is sexy as hell.
If the stripper is smart, that's a bonus. Looks and ignorance grow thin quickly...
