Back to task - when reading a letter with this little creature slapping away on the top left corner of my vision drives me crazy.

By the way - I've removed my avatar until I get my landie back together. If it can't be put back together at a reasonable cost and if I don't buy a S2 disco then it's back to being a contented subaru only driver, and leave the 'real men' FWDing to those with more money than sense.

we are not here to be english masters just to enjoy the forum so what if we don't punctuate or capitalise correctly the majority do not care

sorry forgot to vote 1st time

so i voted = I couldn't care less - there are more important things in life.

we're getting off the track here but you have to make allowances for the fact that not everyone is good at spelling/punctuation and aside from that you also have not made your opinion known with regard to this thread !

Well they should be ( response to highlighted section) , and as to my opinion, I clicked on the "life's to short to care" option

also to pick or criticise others for their lack of english/grammar- knowledge in some ways is to pick on their education (or lack of it }and this can be deemed as discrimination!

Mate i was fortunate enough to be educated at private schools (because my mum busted a gut to do it}but not everyone could afford to educate their children in this manner. So bearing this in mind why should they those who were not good at english be chastised for something that may not be of their own volition,but merely a result of circumstance beyond their control.

WAAAYYY off topic, in the context of the forum, I say let sleeping dogs lie and more power to those whose language skills are "low" and still have a dip

but otherwise, in what context is it discriminatory? many people's lack of language skill (written or verbal) is due to low levels of eductation, but for many more it is due to lack of use and and this does preclude you from doing certain tasks - thats fact...
