Damn I want one of those keyboards, it would save so much of my typing.

I have laughed at some threads and just closed them, no point at even attempting to have a conversation when it takes longer to decipher the message than it does to reply.

YES PLEASE PUT A STOP TO THIS type of da wryten stylez d00dz.

e.g. the term 'da' REALLY, REALLY fkn shits me. just stop it. u're not gangsta - quit trying dipshit.

even in an sms, i cringe everytime i see those two letters in that order surrounded by spaces. 'the' is ONLY ONE extra letter, just type it dammit.

One bloke at work. He is new and i m teaching him a bit of c++/java. He is looking at the line of code and he made a comment next to it:

while(something)

{

....

if (count < 32000)

count <<=1; //OMFG wot is this?

...

}

And I m like ... "yeah... too much foum talk for you buddy".

Some of the posts are totally not legible. But meh, it's all good. A lot of the people that have anything important to say (fixes, suggestions) type, for the most part, legibly.

One thing that irks me though is the use or incorrect use of your, you're, their, there, and they're all over the damn internet.

In 10 years time I bet there won't be a correct or incorrect way to use any of them, and they'll all be interchangeable.

I've been known to incorrectly use your and you're but not because I don't know the difference, just because of the speed in which I type.

But I do agree with carlo...the grammatical standards around here are terrible! The post about the last stolen GTR...man, so hard to read, not to mention the guy who Puts A Capital Letter At The Beginning Of Every Word For Reasons I Don't Know Of. Or da friggin gansta rapa who fink he a nigga bitch.

Sad thing is as wilchy said, 10years time, no one will know how to use these words. Its not just on here...the whole corporate environment is full of people who don't know how to express themselves effectively. I'm constantly having to ask people to explain what they have written or typed simply because they are stupid...I mean dumb....I mean because they can't structure sentences to reflect the correct meaning.

Over and out.

if you monkey's think the standard of grammar on this forum is bad, you should try to read through nissansilvia.com or fastfours.com

I hate sms speak when done outside sms... but for those who think "da" should be written "the"... I'm one of those people who likes to use all 160 characters I get in a message, and as such, I type as much as I can then go through and abbreviate until I fit everything in.

What pisses me off even more is how people have a blatant disregard for punctuation... sms speak I can handle, I enjoy doing crytic word jumbles... but for the love of god break up youre sentences because its bloody annoying when people type like this hey what do you think?

What is the deal with the poor use of the english language on this forum of late? I am no english professor, but alot of the posts on this forum need to be translated.

Am I the only one who finds this place to hard to read?

We speak engrish. :argue:

Say hello to Vodafone $500 capped plan ($79.95). Sometimes I use 165 characters and still it send, who cares when u basically have 2000 free sms/mth.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
