<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1752225, member: 19065"]LOL! Looks like you found a bunch of excuses in that 'attic in a drawer of a box' as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Anyways, it sounds like it was a whopper of a find for you and I'm glad you can share some of it here with this forum. But man-oh-man! was it ever difficult to untangle the text dumped out like that.</p><p> </p><p>FWIW, an iPhone is a computer and I use one too with no problem inserting punctuation or correcting grammar I may have mistyped into posts. Grammar is rarely ever perfect from person to person, let alone agreed upon by native speakers, but neither grammar nor punctuation are completely irrelevant. I don't assume people to be uneducated, no matter what they studied or make a living at. Rather it's the human tendency to be lazy, particularly with the technology that's so pervasive now for our talkative whiles. From skipping something as basic as punctuation, all kinds of things start going haywire. And really, if not for presenting yourself in clear detail and communicating the thoughts you are having accurately, its also a courtesy to readers and interested onlookers who want to share with you too. Thanks again for the pics and story, and the little chat. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1752225, member: 19065"]LOL! Looks like you found a bunch of excuses in that 'attic in a drawer of a box' as well. :D Anyways, it sounds like it was a whopper of a find for you and I'm glad you can share some of it here with this forum. But man-oh-man! was it ever difficult to untangle the text dumped out like that. FWIW, an iPhone is a computer and I use one too with no problem inserting punctuation or correcting grammar I may have mistyped into posts. Grammar is rarely ever perfect from person to person, let alone agreed upon by native speakers, but neither grammar nor punctuation are completely irrelevant.
