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,...

Argh!

That post about the GTR shit me to tears!

Everytime I tried to read that post, and don't ask me why I kept trying, I came away with a headache and had to walk away from the PC for 10 mins.

I get pretty lazy when it comes to proper punctuation because sometimes it's just quicker to not put it in. But usually thats just in SMS's.

But, SMS speak..... well that drives me nuts!

Especially when older people do it. Like when your Mum messages you or something. Grrrrrrr.

ANd I really don't understand the need for it on a forum, as you have an unlimited amount of space in which to type.

And if anyone even tries to say that it takes less time I'll take their SMS speak and stick it fair up their........ :kick:

I totally agree with Carlo - The standard of sentence structure and gramatical poise in some posts is close to non existant.

The use of abbreviations is atrocious and totally unnecessary. Ignorance in spelling is abhorrent and signifies a complete injustice of why my taxes go to the public education system.

Get over the gangster talk and revert back to the Queen's English - It is much more palatable.

:P

haha that is gold.

i think the problem is that a lot of new pc's must be optioned with:

']That's rich! That has improper use of the English language in it. It's 'a lot' not 'alot'. Also, you can't say 'I'm no english professor' as that isn't the proper way to use the term.

No offence intended. Just thought I would attack the attacker! HAHA

i like you.

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.

the upercase letter at the begingin of each letterusually happens when you type everything in upercase.

Dude just cause i cant spell very well and my grammer isnt that great doesnt mean i went to a public school, not that there is anything wrong with that. Its that you assume that becasue people cant spell or put together a grammatically correct sentance you think that they are dumb and went to a public school. *** man if u think that it true, get out more. Get over the steriotypes *spelling* i went to a "private catholic selective all boys" school located on the lower north shore, and im not a little stuck up rich kid. I work hard and earn my way, and mummy and daddy dont help me. Its the same the other way around, my gf went to killara high and there are so many rich kids there that mummy and daddy pay their way left right and center.

Get over the steriotype.

B-Man is De- Man!

I also feel that the standard of illiteration in this electronic tome is perhaps not quite up to the level of a prepubescent.

On the other hand, there are some whose verbosity verges on the downright painful.

Alas the prolixity overwhelms me, and thus I am forced to conclude that our mother planet is full of plebian masses.

but itz da sh1t!! lohlzzzz!!11 zwn

Whats all this about public schooling? & its relation to abusing l337?

Using that crap on the Somthing Awful forums will see you losing your posting rights quick smart.

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.

i'm on an optus business plan... 17c for 5 mins to any mobile + free time + yes weekend... not planning on changing contracts any time soon :)

my sms's are usually destined for malaysia, because my gf is workin over there atm, otherwise I'd just call people as I really cbf typing out sms's.

...

And what's public schools got to do with the quality of english? I went to a public school (Epping Boys' in NSW) and did 3U English for my HSC, and I'm pretty sure my school helped me cane many a private school english student's butt in the final exams.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
