<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2202381, member: 15062"]You forgot the missing space following a closing parenthesis, the misuse of the reflexive "myself" for the objective "me", the misuse of the elipisis and the lack of a space between "thank" and "you". Seriously though, pointing out these types of things is a loosing battle. The nuances of the English language used to be taught in school before the 7th grade, and correct usage insisted on thereafter. Nowadays, I have my doubts that it is given any serious attention at all. I know of teachers who are deficient in their own knowledge of grammar so how can we expect their students to be any better? With texting shortcuts such as U, R, 4, 2 plus acronyms, the reliance on SpellCheck (with erroneous corrections that are often incorrect) and the lack of review prior to posting, I doubt that the art of informal written communication will ever get better. Thank you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
