Well, there just wasnt any meaning to read there, plain and simple...
I think you should ban your own a$$ Brad, shame on you.

You almost made me wanna leave the board forever. .

Spelling mistakes and grammer issues are quite common everywhere.

I honestly hope you change your mind, seeing your number of posts, I assume you have a lot to offer this board by staying.

And I hope you are not a racist, just a person with no patience (though having kids will earn that attribute).

Good bye, Bob I.

Bob's (correct punctuation for Bob is) not a racist. He's a ___ist. He should have been a teacher.

who really cares....as i recall i did not have to sign anything stating that i would use proper grammar, nor correct spelling. It's a shame that poorly worded messages and use of another language would make you want to leave. I'm quite new here, but leaving for the reasons given seems like a shame to me.

I guess if the author is not reading the board anymore, then thee is not much sense in leaving this thread open.

Your spelling may not be 100% perfect, but the meaning and what you try to convey is as clear as it gets.

You have nothing to be embarased about at all.

I would be quite insulted by Bob's comments if I am a landed immigrant who is unable to write very well in English. A person's ability to use proper grammar and sentence structure is very dependant on that person's background which includes, but not limited to, their educational, cultural, social, economical, and even their demographical background. To make such a comment violates that person's constitutional right to express themselves freely REGARDLESS of their ability to do so in the English language.
An individual's tolerance of those who are not fluent writing in the English language should be kept to themselves - to publicly express your intolerance is otherwise known as racism.

Sad to see this thread take a racial turn.

I don't think Bob is anything other than a man who likes exellent grammar.
