I don't really find it more difficult to read with only one following space, it just looks a bit off to me. I'll continue using 2 spaces. Now, right justification drives me batty.

Don't take it personally, but perhaps strive to communicate more clearly, so your message is received in the matter you intended.

I always use two spaces after a period.

Pretty sure the King would have written behaviour.

And favoured. Bloody revolutionaries.

Did anyone watch the Story of English back in the eighties? A C&V steel, lugged documentary series.

I'm left wondering, with whom does she interact all day that she DOES have to dumb down her conversation?

I can understand occasional grammar mistakes, English is a very difficult language to master.

I can even tolerate misspellings, though with spell checker built into many browsers it should not be as prevalent as it is.

Total lack of punctuation is a good way to get me to move along to something else.

My parents were both English professors, so I had little choice in the matter.

We do.
Most people here are generally tolerant of errors, but not carelessness.

It looks like a review of the forum guidelines is in order.

Disruption
Posts which intend to disrupt the topic of conversation or steer the topic away from the focus of the forum and related news. Disruption can include harassment, multiple user profiles, multiple posting of the same post and posting completely off topic messages. Please do your best when it comes to grammar, punctuation and spelling. Excessive use of "AOL'ese" and "hAx0r" talk can be very disruptive so please keep it to a minimum. Private messages are to be kept private and never posted in the forums. Additionally, since we are a bicycle forum, primarily, and not a political forum, don't use political signatures or avatars, due to their controversy effect.


Just FYI, trolling falls under the Disruption category.

Thread closed.
