I would like to see this thread turn into a full blown flame war over grammer. It amuses me to absolutely no end. Maxx, your post was both highly entertaining and wickedly sarcastic. James, Please grow up mentally and learn proper grammer. I do the same thing as other people do when they see poorly written tripe - they just skip it over and figure that the person has no skills to speak of. At least spel check it. or edit it after posting it. And it also appears that swearing here is pretty quickly squahed. Keep it polite people. If you don't have anything nice to say, rephrase it.  Flames to dev/null

Maxx, I bow to you, sir. From: someone The problem with 'slang' and contractions in speech is that you assume everyone has the same basis to decipher your meaning. At best, everyone does and there is no problem. At worst, nobody understands you and becomes frustrated trying to even parse your text. Precisely. Zana P.S. We should just sticky a thread in Off Topic Discussions that is a permanent grammar brawl. Darwin, I dare you!  .
