<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1353491, member: 13650"]I wouldn't get on people too much if you want to continue to get help here. They just pointed out what a lot of people think but probably didn't take the time to post themselves. It should be considered a common courtesy on a forum to use decent grammar, punctuation, spacing and paragraphs. It should be natural anyway if you post on forums a lot. It also somewhat reflects on the intelligence of the poster. It's important in order to convey your message and be taken seriously. You act like people get a kick out of being the "grammar police" on a forum because they certainly don't have anything else better to do! </p><p><br /></p><p> When somebody opens a thread and the original post looks like a mess, it's not going to be taken seriously by most people. When I post something, I usually re-read it before I post and after I post to make sure I didn't screw something up. Then edit if necessary. If the red underline shows up under a miss-spelled word, you can right click on it and select the proper spelling from the list. It's idiot proof.</p><p> It also seems there are a lot of "drive-by" posters that are not good listeners but love to start thread after thread themselves. Without thinking that the topic just may have been covered a million times already. Half the time, there's better info to be found using the search function because many people don't want to re-hash and re-type what they spent time on a month ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
