I think I may be perusing this forum periodically even though I'm not a vintage owner (yet) so that I don't have to see all the posts with ridiculously poor grammar. Presumably most of these are from our younger members. Since most of you (us?) were edumacated in the days when schools taught the difference between "your" and "you're" (and, god help us all, "ur"), use of capitalization, and the correct use of punctuation, I think this part of the board may be a welcome respite from the daily frustration of seeing these atrocities running amok

Phew, sorry...had to get that rant off my chest. If I'd posted it in the normal OT forum, I'd have gotten yelled at for being a grammar Nazi or something

I have always had trouble with spelling. I don't know why this is so but unfortunately it is the case. I work very hard to try to correct my errors but many slip through. Unfortunately, my grammar is not perfect either.
That having been said, I agree with you. I hope this forum serves as an example of how the language is supposed to be used.
