RAK's recurrent ruminations on cars, chicks and courtship

Methinks he's a Merc man.

No, us Porsche guys don't give a rip how you spell or where you punctuate, if at all.

I don't "care" but I'll judge people by it. Being an idiot is your choice.

A typo here or there is > No, us Porsche guys don't give a rip how you spell or where you > punctuate, if at all.

I do not disagree too awfully much with you, but don't forget that Usenet spans many countries that do not use English as a primary language. With that in mind, I'll not be too critical of grammar skills. As you say, I may make a mental note of it, but I'll read past them. If the poster is truly stupid, it will show in other ways. If I attempted to post in Italian, French or Spanish, my spelling and punctuation skills would guarantee me to look like an id10t.

I appreciate other folks posting in whatever form of English so that I may enjoy their comments.

That should be "we" Porsche guys.

D'oh. Thanks, now don't I look like an id10t? ;~P I should have mentioned that I didn't care much about grammar, either. That's always been a fuzzy area for me (plural objective form pronouns). In this instance, 'us' seems to roll off of the tongue just fine like gents talking in a pub, while 'we' seems too proper.

Enough, I must go driving now.

I believe Mozilla's Thundbird's spell checker will work with many languages; I've not tried anything but English. With TB's checker you can also add words that aren't in its dictionary. It's hard to miss misspelled words because they are underlined in RED.

Hey! Howzit goin', Yaofeng? When am I goin' to lay eyes on you at some BMW-type event?

-- C=2ER. (Don't have that 'roof in yet)

WTF? My parents would love to have my X-Type. So would my 9-y-o daughter. FWIW, we are *all* AARP members ... except my kid.

-- C=2ER. Krieger (Too old to be rebelling)

Nah, they're just as bad.

It's the curse of the newbie top-posters that's the most annoying. If I can read what you write I don't care how or if it's spelled.

Roof not in yet? There is no way you'll be as busy as I. Realistically when I put the 540 V8 back in with the 6 speed conversion completed I may consider any event.

No, I was referring to the fact that some of the older family members in Richasiankid's immediate and extended family drive a Jag and thus RichAsianKid's rebelling against this. Who would like to drive parents' car? I think no one under 40 should drive a Jag, even the XK, let alone the 4-door ones. Just my humble opinion....

Mots posters, at least in the Merc & BMW groups live in NA and there the question arises, what do most people speak... :-) ....
