Dude, I am 34, hardly ancient just yet. While I am less vocal about it (partly because I typo sometimes when my fingers hit the wrong keys due to punching the keys and having Gibbon hands) but to a lesser extent than some, I totally agree about grammar, spelling and punctuation I am afraid.

While I am half West Indian, which means I can talk in utter gibberish if needed, I always try my best to keep my Queen's English in check (not something I specialised in at school at all) as otherwise it will just be something else that is going down the toilet in English (or should I say Engrish?) society.

Even now I am sure grammatical layout of this message is wrong but it doesn't take much to try at least :)

My biggest bugbear is how LIKE has wormed in to almost everything that everybody in this country says. Pretty sure it came from Yankland and it is utterly unforgivable in my book. I spent most of my holiday last month wanting to punch total strangers in the face repeatedly. It even got to the point where I was in the restaurant parroting people every time they said like. Made my blood boil.

Flame away but there you go :)

I only do the grammar Nazi thing because it makes me laugh and it creates a mini competition within the forum (not to mention lift the standard). It's a true 'DOH' moment when you get caught out and let's be honest, if people spoke to you in the same quality of their writing, you'd judge them and it'd be a struggle to understand them.
I'm actually rubbish at spelling but I try very hard to be clear in my posts and I use technology to ensure that happens. I believe there's zero excuse to post spelling mistakes and simple grammatical errors in this day and age.
No matter where you go, there you are.

More than agree on that. I've been living in this country for 5 years now, and my English is far from what language testers call "native speaker", but at least I try.
When I hear youngsters using LIKE (sorry for using caps lock) as every other word in their sentence, it drives me up the wall.

Take a trip to Smethwick, ''like'' is a very common and annoying word that all the english born there use in every sentence.
To be a member of this site, even more so the C5 RS6 forum you HAVE to have a sence of humour or you are in for trouble. I get caught be the nazi police pretty much every day and to be honest, it is actually helping me. Too many boring gits in this world.
Now, can people guess which half of 12" is West Indian?
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.

Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Not sure what your point is. I didn't see that guy get many answers to his question. There have been a couple of posts that were so bad I diddent (sic) even reply to them. I only replied to *that* one to take the piss. I could have answered his question in half a second if he had bothered to write properly.

Everyone makes mistakes, it happens and it's fun pointing them out. However, I assume that if someone consistently writes like a retarded monkey they are either a) a retarded monkey or b) too lazy and / or selfish to consider how others might read them. Sometimes I have to read some of the sh1t that people write several times before I understand what they are on about.

It's like saying please and thank you. Some might think that, like punctuation, they can be omitted and still have the same effect. Maybe some of you agree that politeness has no place in society any more, in which case I wish you the best of luck (actually I don't, I hope that you all face-plant), as far as I am concerned if someone doesn't display common courtesy then they had better not expect anything from me.

Couldn't agree more. One thing that gets me the most (after LIKE) is people that don't say "excuse me" for instance, most of which are half my size when trying to barge past me. When I inform them of how rude and pathetic they are they just look at me like I am off my meds or on the rare occasion will actually apologize due to me possibly terrifying them by barking. Thinking about it, it wasn't just my holiday where I wanted to punch complete strangers in the face for lack of basic manners, it is almost a daily occurance.

As my family would say, "they don't have no broughtupsy".

I am a retarded monkey. I do shave my back though to try and hide the fact in the real world though.
