    Thanks for sharing the video! It was fun to watch!

     

    Unless my 10 yr old rusty PT Cruiser could tow it, I'd have to sell it too. But it would definitely be to buy a truck and a little less impressive fishing boat to start off with! :thumbsup_anim:

  9. Grammer police!

    I am jumping back in here as I was someone in the beginning who said a little effort goes a long way and I had absolutely no intention of insulting or offending anyone. :(

     

    As far as not bothering to read any of the poorly written messages on Plenty of Fish...I will clarify that most of them started with "hey babe waz'up"! And sometimes that's all they said. So yes, I chose to overlook those! Haha! And Rob (whose message I did reply to and is now my other half) is not some hot shot pencil pusher. He's a humble fitter/welder (with the shop talk and rough edges to match!) who had never even used a computer before buying one to go on the dating website after some peer pressure! It would take him an hour to type one paragraph and then he would proof read it before he sent it. I just wanted to clarify that that was the comparison I was making and not at all meaning to come across as insulting anyone.

     

    My sister has learning disabilities and although she was unable to go through main stream high school, she does just fine for herself now and I have always been very proud of her.

     

    My main beef is more with our younger generation becoming lazy in writing as they Text or MSN. And I do see the English language suffering with this generation because of instant messaging. My 16 year old son is the perfect example. He knows how to spell and use grammar (somewhat! Haha!), and he sure knows how to use spellcheck, but he chooses not to. And I love him dearly I just could kick his pen and paper lazy behind! :wallbash:

     

    So as I have followed this thread and seen the offense taken, I just wanted to clarify that for myself I in no way intended to come across as discriminating against illiteracy or learning disabilities. And I have never corrected anyone in a forum (except for merc's "cents" comment which was all in good fun! ;)).
