    I have no problem with people who make a mistake here and there grammatically. I do however have a serious issue with people that use TERRIBLE punctuation and grammar.

    the whether and weather confusion really gets to me. and dont forget apostrophe deletions.
    were--past tense of 'are'--we were driving around town last night.
    we're--contraction of 'we' and 'are' (present tense)---we are working on the truck.

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.

    However, you're already talking bs and the truck is on jack stands, lol.
    Get it on the track, run some respectable times, then say "to all the haterz" because that vid is weak lol.
    You got a long ways to go to compete with the turbos!

    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.
