It's just that I call into question the reasons behind the way the posts made, i.e. the purposeful misspelling of words, etc. It seems to me that the "errors" in the spelling and grammar are not very consistent, leading me to beleive that the goal is to make the posts harder to understand.
If someone has something that they want to contribute to the boards, shouldn't they either:
A.) Make an attempt to ensure that their message gets across to as many people as possible, as this IS a message board open to public?
B.) NOT go out of their way to misspell words and use diffucult to understand diction?
And I don't know about Emily, but I personally could do without your arrogant/sarcastic comments pointing to your incredibly uncanny ability to read and interpret the various forms of the English language.
I'm just saying, there's no reason for anyone to have to read a post aloud to understand it. I'm suggesting a simple rule for this board, the rule simply being, "Don't be a jackass."
Let me ask you one thing, dear colleagues. Am I really the only person here who understands English in its various forms enough to
: a) read Ferrantino's posts
: b) understand that their content is similar to any other messages depicting real-life events?
: Just wondering, because I have no trouble reading his messages. Just read them aloud and you'll get it.
