But then again, when you search like Vitz or Vitz series you get like 1000 forums then your like uhh. You read the first one and its on a setting, you read the 2nd one and its on some times on a certain track. Then you pretty much just give up. Then when you be more Specific on what your looking for you get nothing.

Who is perfect? Why spend 20 mins. trying to use perfect grammer? Some just type faster and catch their mistakes less often. Why argue when you understand it anyways? And if you can't understand what people around here are saying you are definately, definately thinking too hard.
Its not a big deal
 
I had a pretty easy time of coming here for the first time. I made a couple of newbie mistakes, but I think by my 10th post, I had it pretty well figured out.

It probably helped that the first person to answer one of my posts was Famine. He corrected a couple of my rookie mistakes right in that first reply. I can think of a few people that would've made my first post hell for me. I feel lucky that Famine answered first.

I was also not exactly new to the boards. I browsed here for about a week before I registered.

I'm still new though. And I still tend to make an a** of myself. But I hope that everyone learns like I did.

Not very many people.

20 minutes seems a little excessive. You shouldn't really have to 'try' to use perfect grammar unless you're a blundering idiot. It's nearly impossible to use perfect grammar all of the time, but posters should make posts readable with capitalization, punctuation and half-decent grammar.
Why spell correctly on every single word

So you seem smarter than you actually are and people are able to understand you more clearly. I check dictionary.com sometimes if I think I spelled a word incorrectly. Of course we have all made spelling mistakes, but some of us have the decency to fix the ones we notice.

Often times you cannot understand it. I suggest you read the Drifters Forum.

It is a big deal.

Notice that I have probably made several mistakes in this post, but if I notice them I'll fix them so you can decipher this post more easily.

No, there are stupid questions.

If I asked you how to chew bubble gum that would be a stupid question.

I'm looking for better ways to chew bubble gum. Sometimes I feel like I'm chewing inefficiently. I would also like to better regulate the sugar delivery and make the flavor last longer.

Any tips?

You could start a thread on this. It might get a little more attention that way. :D

Yea, do what my seven-year-old does. Shove a new piece of gum in your mouth when the flavor starts to disappear.
 
I should have known that by starting this thread i would recieve some negative comments and attacks against me, But in my deffence ive only been speaking english for 6 years and dont know everything there is to know about punctuation, syntax, grammer ..etc.
Most of my english was picked up by the way society writes and talks. And in this day and age most people have bad grammer.
But i thank people like "badbats" cause i would like to improve my english.
And i did what Tazio did, i surfed this site before i signed up and then descided i wanted to be a member so i could post things, and generally ive recieved a good vibe from this site and good mature responces from the people repliying to this thread ...exept the chewing gum part lol.
So from peoples replies i have descided to be nicer to noobs.
I also respect the people that help them out, regarless of the fact they've probably heard the question a hundred times before.:)
 
Actually i tell a lie, i have been speaking English for most of my life, I just have not had to use as my primary language up until the last 6 years.
I do know how to use proper grammer and punctuation, and i also know how construct sentances in the proper syntax, im just lazy!.
I know i shouldnt be and that i should post in the proper Queens english.
But if people are going to be so pedantic is there much point posting?.
I like this site and most of the people on here are cool, but the odd one has to be rude.
But thats o.k im over it now.:)
 
The Queen's English is awful... She pronounces words like "Grass" and "Glass" to rhyme with "arse"...

But what do you expect from inbred Germans? :D

Speak Yorkshire English! Aye! By 'eck.
 
Ah, but that's the trick, isn't it?

Most people find it hard to interpret the precise spirit of a post, even when constructed perfectly - the typed word just doesn't cut it. Then you start removing chunks of understandable info...

Plus humans naturally like little packages - we find them easier to understand. Slap in some punctuation here and there (err, in the right places, for preference) and suddenly a whole line of gibberish becomes partially recognisable as words...

I find it easier to type in relatively "proper" English - then people can only misinterpret my "tone", rather than my text...

thats why most of my post just say "fiats rock!" :p

There is, as we all have to understand a certain internet lingo too. It is on the net perfectly reasonable to use abreviations and acronyms like:

brb
u
prolly
LMAO
and the the everyone knows LOL

I see no problem with this as it is commonly used on the internet.
But maybe thats just me :)

To me it is far more important to be friendly and respectful in the tone and words use than to have correct grammer and spealing (:p)

*the above reflects my own opinion and not the opinion of the rest of the forum.

Then I apologize for giving you such a hard time. Still, punctuation is a good thing.

Where are you from originally?

I was born in the U.K, Lived there for 2 years then moved to South Africa, were i spoke English and Afrikans, then i moved to Australia then New zealand.
My dads a Business Finance manager or some thing like that, so we move heaps but ill probs stay here next time they move.
 
Ha ha very funny, lets all rat on the kiwi aha!. But for roads to race on, car prices and slack road rules id choose NZ anyday!.
But i admit its not the best country to live in, in other respects.
 
for slack road rules I'd be there too, also dont you guys already have the EVO 8? theres another reason, and cheap imports
 
Yeah they have'nt officialy been released but there are a few around ive probs seen about 10-20 around. and yeah the imports are cheaper.
