I see your "good" OP and raise you the ability to spell and punctuate. 1) Abbreviating This involves shorting a word, i.e. less letters. The following are NOT examples of abbreviation: - you -> you's (more letters, just wrong) - you -> u's (same number of letters, just wrong) - grammar -> grammer (same number of letters, just wrong) FYI: the plural of "you" is "you", or sometimes you might want to use "you all". "You's" / "u's" is just a disgrace. The following are examples that I might let you get away with in an sms: - I'm -> im - you -> u However since this is a forum and you have a KEYBOARD in front of you, not a phone keypad, and since you profess to have such fantastic computer skills, you should be able to manage to type the extra letter or two. The following example is just an utter abortion on the English language and would not even be acceptable in an sms: - would -> wud 2) Sentences Sentences should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Again, since you have keyboard and such outrageously good computer skills, it should take no extra time to do this correctly, and might result in people actually reading your post and taking it seriously, instead of just giving you sh*t. 3) Punctuation Commas come in handy too, try using them occasionally. When you use contraction, you should use an apostrophe to replace the letters you have removed. E.g. I am -> I'm. I'm pretty sure OPs haven't been published yet, but at least you're confident. I would be too: with English like that, you should easily manage at least a 24. Of course, I think you need about a 4 or a 5 to get into architecture. You know, so that you can design buildings that don't collapse in on themselves and such.

Monza stuff seems to be getting better, although it is not as good as the more expensive stuff obviously. Seems to be quite decent and good value gear. I'm probably going to get Monza harnesses for the alfa. Thinking has been suspended for the remainder of the day, and most likely for the remainder of the week as well. You're a useless serb. It's not rape if she's begging for it

Oh Hai! You know it. I have stuff to do this week, but it's thoroughly boring. So I'm getting my procrastination on. Anyone interested in going to Melbourne GP next year? March 24-27 +/- a few days either side. No tyre kickers, it won't be cheap and we'll need to buy tickets SOON. Let me know if your genuinely interested. Going to try to get a better idea of costs today.

Correct. Edit: Assuming of course that you are merging into a gap, and not merging into a car/bike/truck etc Yep. Guilty until proven innoccent. Don't you love traffic law?

Truth. Except I think you give way too much credit thinking that 31% do manage to merge properly. I'll change lanes (where the lane over is empty) or give a slight lift to help make a gap a bit bigger. If you have to do any more than that, then they are merging wrong (probably not up to the right speed). People slowing down on highways to let people who haven't got up to speed properly in is what causes all the merge points to get congested in peak hour. 87.3579% of all statistics are made up on the spot. If the lane beside you is free, this is a courteous thing to do. I do the same thing. Changing lanes is OK. Slowing down (more than a slight lift) is what causes congestion. Don't do it. If the retards can't get up to speed, don't let them in. Maybe one day they will learn how to do it properly. Mmmm, I don't think we'll ever be sure what happened there. But I am certain that the fine is legal and the OP won't get out of it from going to court. *HEADSPLODE*

Why is everyone assuming there is heavy traffic? My impression when I read the first post was the road was more or less empty: Saw no one with all those mirror and sholder checks? Road can't have been that busy. Where was the cop bike during all this I wonder? I beg to differ: This is called "Doing it wrong". That's not the impression I got from reading what he wrote, but I wasn't there so I don't know. It's a perfectly sensible law, it's the people implementing it that are the issue... When merging onto a highway that is flowing there is ALWAYS gaps, it's just a matter of finding one and fitting in. If someone is not courteous and doens't let you in, you go behind them. This might mean you have to slow down a bit to find the gap, but you should be back at the same speed when you slot into it. It's not rocket science. I've never had any issues merging into a highway/etc that is flowing. Obviously if it's heavy traffic and the highway is not flowing (usually due to people failing to merge properly when it was) then obviously it is a completely different scenario. Technically, the guys on the highway that you are merging into don't have to let you in at all, but most people will start going 1-for-1 from each lane that is merging. Truth.

That's what she said Dude, that is the bitch's job. Srsly, we used to give the girl all the formatting and submission crap in group assignments. Obviously since women should be in the kitchen and not doing engineering degrees, we couldn't trust them to do any of the engineering work. So we would do that and give all the bits to the chick to assemble into a submission. It's basically the same technique as making a sammich, so they're pretty good at it.
