I always do my best to use proper spelling and grammar and very seldom swear. It is embarrassing to me as a mechanic to hear my fellow techs have to use the "F" word 3 to 4 times per sentence. Here are a few of my other gripes.
1. To-- I am going to the store.
2. Too-- I ate too much.
3. Two-- I ate two cheeseburgers.
4. teh It is "the"---not teh.
5. He borrowed me a wrench. No he didn't. You borrowed it--He loaned it.
6. Yous. The word "you" can be singular or plural. It never has an "s" on the end of it.
7. Pronounce your "T"s Example---Where is Mar in----Where is Martin.
8. Where-- Where are you going.
9. Wear-- Wear your new shirt.
10. Were-- You were in the shop.

Hopefully I did not make too many spelling mistakes in that rant.

Sounds too me like your a master at all things in life. I wish I we're as smart as you. I'm applogize for my previous coment about this thread, it has proved to be quit funny!

On a serious note, bragging about how smart you are on the internet is a little gay. I'm also aware that you are better than me because I cus like a sailor. Also, I corrected a grammatical error in your post above. Please see quote and take note of the words in red. You can edit your post now and remove the words in red.

....from the guy who has the wrong "too" in his sig (and no comma or apostorphe)....

Your sig says (God knows why): "DUDE THATS WAY TO MUCH SOUR CREAM"...it should read: "DUDE, THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH SOUR CREAM".

...oh yeah: :melissa:

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I am definitely not a know it all. I was just pointing out that most of the world has a low opinion of us hotrodders. And I do my best not to give them any ammo to prove their point.

I wouldn't sweat his post...most of what he posts on here makes him sound like a prick.

The site isn't good enough for him, but he still posts and sells stuff here.

What's funny and ironic is you spelled "cuss" as "cus" in a sentence in which you were trying to point out his mistakes. Good job light-bright. I also highlighted your screw-up in case you couldn't locate it in that mass of fail you posted. And let's not forget that you were "on a serious note", so don't try to play it off like you were still being a smart@$$ by spelling incorrectly.

I'm putting cam/heads/headers on my truck in HOPES of a 13.99999. That quote makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry lol

I do get a kick out of some of the wording people use on the web. But alot of them(maybe), including myself, tend to use a ton of slang. You should see my text messages I send out.. LMAO

I swear I've never heard that until I moved here. I started hearing people say: "Yeah, I'm just going to sale it".

The other one that cracks me up is "just chunk it in the trash", rather than "just chuck it in the trash".

chucked, chuck·ing, chucks
a. To throw or toss: chucked stones into the water.
b. Informal To throw out; discard: chucked my old sweater.
c. Informal To force out; eject: chucking out the troublemakers.

chunk (chngk)
n.
1. A thick mass or piece: a chunk of ice.
2. Informal A substantial amount: won quite a chunk of money.
3. A strong stocky horse.

You'll never be able to convince anybody that "chuck" is the right word for "toss". Discover channel ruined the correct definition with their show "Punkin' Chunkin'". And all of the people on the show say "chunk". It really burns me up.

Not to be a grammar Nazi (actually that is exactly what I am doing), but it is Eminem, not M&M. Eminem (often styled "EMINƎM") is the stage name for the rapper named Marshall Mathers. An M&M is a chocolate candy. If you were, in fact, referring to the candy then the sentence should read "... please, you are not an M&M." (notice the added comma as well)

:P had to get my jab in as well

You knew who I was referring to. I also do that as an insult to the idiot Marshall Mathers.

Since we're on the topic of grammer, i have been reading some build threads and noticed something that is often overlooked. when typing/writing quantities and sizes together, the best way to write this is if you use words for quantities and numbers for sizes. For example:
I unbolted the four 1/2 in bolts.
I unbolted the 4 1/2in bolts.

the first sentence says a quantity of four and a size of one half while the latter can be seen as a size of four and one half.

Another notation is:
I unbolted the four(4) 1/2in bolts

its not necessary but it helps with clarification. Just throwing it out there.

IIRC, the proper thing to do with numbers less than 10 in a sentence would be to spell them out rather than type them using the number itself i.e. one instead of 1, two instead of 2, three instead of 3...
