Exactly - but at least the post is readable and the point understood. No one is perfect and that is accepted - but at least lets try.

My pennysworth is that I found - when travelling for Mcculloch Chainsaws- that the measure of a mechanics ability rose at the same rate that his literacy fell.
Some of the best small engine mechanics in Vic had real trouble with a pen, so Stig, you must be pretty good in the workshop.
I think anyone judging - or simply broadcasting an opinion on someone -by thier literacy is not doing themselves a favour.

And Dobbo, thanks for posting up the Olsen twins. Maybe Ron can explain to me the roll they perform. I keep thinking food.

There are some posts where the author has not taken the time to ensure that they are readable - the end result is the point the author is trying to make is lost because of side issues.

Did you spell check that? Makes no sense mate!

If you do dare and build your self up by dissing someone, at least be good at it or butt out.

Lets let this guy and let this site do what it does best which is discuss Landy stuff.
No matter how fluent one is in english. Time to move on.

Dissing is not a word in the English language. The closest is Dis

Dis, noun.
1. the Roman god of the lower world, identified with the Greek god Pluto.
2. the lower world; Hades.

Still haven't moved on have you?

Now its official, you are a tool.

Dissing is a internet term, meaning disrespectful.

Take a deep breath and forget about it.
