I use my iphone, rattle off simething and wonder how that got in there ? Its like the keys change or something.
Little phone average fingers.

I try, but its hit and miss.
This forum is nothing compared to buy and sell sites like kijiji
 
My editors are always busy so mistakes are made.

For me it isn't so much how the posts are written as much as what the actual content is that makes them hard to read sometimes.

I'm amazed how apparently angry some folks are, lashing out at everything from retail stores to canned meat. They don't just say they dislike something, they rant on about them in multiple posts like the subject is some devil-in-carnate that must be railed against with every new post supporting the topic being another call to rant.

Is it just me or have the posts gotten way worse lately? Horrendous spelling, run on sentences, atrocious grammar, and a complete inability to convey one's own thoughts seem to be becoming commonplace. I consider my comprehension skills to be pretty good. Even after rereading a post several times, I sometimes find myself at a complete loss as to what the hell the poster is trying to say.

WOW GET A LIFE ...
 
PBS had a series "Small Business School", where the Hostess and entrepreneur would interview small business owners & tour the facilities, learning from and sharing
their experiences failures & successes. One gentleman was pushing 70 or so, His Company employed close to 40 people, and had been around for decades. Upon
meeting this Man the Hostess discovered that He was basically illiterate, couldn't read or write a lick practically, yet He started and grew a successful Company. It
is, like in life, a people skills game. He surprised His employees of whom He valued greatly, and were a loyal group, w/a 5 FIGURE BONUS one year as He approached
retirement!! THAT'S appreciation, and what can happen when hard work & respect goes both ways!! I wondered watching that if those days were behind Us, that was
15 yrs. ago, could someone still pull that off the same way today?

Eye no watt ewe mean. Eye dew knot always no watt they want two say.
Seriously, I am anal with my texts. I was an Air Force officer for 20 years, and then a Market Risk Analyst in a Federal Home Loan Bank for 20 years. Poor quality written communications were never an option for me. That being said, LOTS of people view texts/blogs as not mattering at ALL when it comes to spelling, punctuation and grammar. They do not want to worry about it. When it is so bad you don't understand their point, then just ask politely.

I'm often on the net on my smart phone the keyboard is so small and my fingertips don't come to a point I hit the speaker button and say what I want to type the bad thing is there's no caps or punctuation just one long run-on sentence


(The same paragraph from my phone. There you have it!)

Actually if you say "period", "exclamation mark" etc, they insert and start new sentences. At least my dumb phone does.

On topic, reality is not everyone has grade 12 education. Just like not everyone has a 70, 340, 4 speed Duster. But guess what, they all help make F.A.B.O. what it is. It's all good with me.

You all have no clue how bad it is in the real world! I went to a student run parent/teacher conference at Ian's school! 1/2 way through his presentation, I had to stop him because I couldn't read what he wrote on an assignment! When I asked him what it said, his response was.."I don't know, I wrote that like 3 months ago"!! When I asked the teacher how she grades papers like this she said..." we no longer grade papers on grammar and spelling, since most things are done on computer with spell check"!! Instead of pointing out that she did in fact grade the paper in question, that was hand written, I simply nodded and logged that into my memory banks!! Nobody is watching the store, plain and simple, and it's only going to get worse!!

The reason this rarely ever happens is the fact that most all billionaires are greedy SOBs and will do anything to put another $ in their pockets!? Maybe it is only human nature at its worse.
