Vent as much as you like-and I understand your point.

But if you are going to get upset about the way someone writes on a posting- I wonder how you would feel if you could hear them talk? I speak with a South London Accent that in many eyes- or ears- is a "Common" accent. By common in this sense I mean Low education and mental capacity. The low Mental capacity may be there- but The education has been good.

Main thing here is that we enjoy cycling. We communicate by writing and some of us are not as articulate as we should be. If that means that someone uses poor grammar- makes spelling mistakes- or has to write in a manner that they are comfortable with- then I'm OK with that. At least we are communicating.

But the Acronyms- Most of here have an LBS- (Local Bike shop) and refer to it often enough to write LBS. Same when referring to Heart Rate. It is easier to write HR-MHR AVR etc.

So I can understand your point but most of us here are just cyclists. We may not have a grasp of the written or Spoken word as much as some of the better educated but The main thing is the cycling- Not the writing about it.
