I'm not entirely sure if this post is on the correct forum but I am just curious as to why a certain percentage of people who place posts on this site appear to have great difficulty in spelling words correctly. Is it a culture thing or is just laziness. Like I said, just curious that's all.

Cheers

And I did'nt even mention grammar.

:)

This is quite funny actually, the other day I was reading a letter (typed) that my boss had just written. The amount of errors was amazing...thing is that he types on forums and in-game so much that it carries over to his work.

I doubt it is laziness in all of you, you still have to type the word so why not spell it right, as mentioned above a lot of the time it is when we type fast so we can answer before someone else, this is when we mess up. My personal favourite/problem is "The" normally I spel it like "teh" .

Its all good though, besides it gives us something to do...first work out what the person is saying then work out if it will work :P

BOOSTMEISTER's right, it's not laziness. It's a combination of ignorance and illiteracy. Why does it matter? Because English is how we communicate on this forum, not teen speak or l33t speak or whatever the **** it is some people try to pass off as english. You aren't being graded on spelling and grammar, but you will come across as a dumkoph if you can't get the simple things right.

Tolerance is important of course, people for whom english is a second language can be forgiven, but a lot of native english speakers need to put in more effort.

as long as it makes sense then it's all good...

i tend to type in all lower case, and also not in "proper" sentences on forums... but you can still read what i'm saying.

but when ppl write like 2rismo said:

"wot getz me iz wen dey typ lyk dis n it pisses me of... "

well, I really cbf trying to work out what they're trying to say half the time :P

In my line of work, i am typing for seven and a half hours straight, for government departments and private sector clients also, and i have to be correct, and fast. If not, i get my ass handed to me. So i find that now when typing anything, from forums to instant messages, my grammar, and spelling are almost perfect. Compared to "type it out as fast as i can, who cares if it's right", where i was before i started working here.

But as others have noted above, as long as it is semi-coherent, and not just a mish-mash of letters, it's all good to me :P

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
