If you're going to poke fun at someone else's posting style, it is appropriate to use proper capitalization, spelling, and word selection, as well as posting in complete sentences.

Rifleman, I think that you are probably more adept at speaking, writing and understanding OK code talk than what you realize. I probably am also. Stackem21 and I are shooting next weekend; I think David DT is coming also. Consider this your invitation. Later Bro

Alright, I just learned this issue also. I thought it was my computer having issues so Im currently doing a scan. I attempted to post some pictures of a trade item into a PM and it just shows up blank as if there is nothing there.

I'm not the one who pointed out his offenses - you did. I just pointed out <span style="font-style: italic">your's</span> as an example of hypocrisy.

Grammar errors don't bother me very much - I expect it from the current generation, which appears to have learned its communication skills sending text messages rather than in school.

If I pointed out every one I observed on this site, I'd do nothing else - and I have better ways to spend my time.

Well said Lindy.

I was fortunate enough to be selected for my current profession, which when I was hired had a competition level of 100 plus applicants per position. Competition was stiff then. The job contintues to require a well rounded skill set. One of the more important skills and an easy one to test for in the hiring process is one's skill in writing.

I never had much interest in English class being a person who is more science and math oriented. I also grew up bilingual which didn't help with some of my confusion. It was not until I began testing for my dream job that I learned in a harsh manner that being able to write matters. My scores suffered due to my lack of that skill. I was behind the curve and had to work hard to get better. I can't say that I am an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I was able to improve enough for my evaluators to take a gamble on me.

Sixteen years later, it astounds me how poorly most people write. It would seem that forums tend to contain a significant amount of drivel. However, I have also seen plenty of official, public sector documents that leave a lot to be desired.

I wish everyone took written communication more seriously. Poor writing makes intelligent people seem not so smart.

FWIW,

Go easy on 'em Lindy.
