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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
