Look at the bigger picture.
And just to elaborate, do you know how many people visit this forum and think it's full of condecending snobby "adults"...
It doesn't hurt anyone to be welcoming rather than portraying yourselves like a nazi hate regime against someone who doesn't type in a perfect way or follow the crowd.

FWIW - I was trying to be gentle and humourous to Mr Pitts rather than operating a Nazi hate regime.
I guess my subtle nuances are a bit too subtle for the NuForum way of communicating. I guess just posting the word "Search!" is best.
I feel sorry for Nick Graves - no-one's ever going to have a clue what he's on about anymore

Funnily enough my car is more accelerative with 225/50 R16 rear tyres than it was with 255/40 R17 tyres. I think the effect of my 4.77 FD was blunted by the larger width rear tyres.
I imagine JDM BBS wheels with stock S02's would be a near perfect combo for wheel weight, tyre weight and offset. 17's look the best mind

I post 90% of my posts from my phone and it does have the habit of changing words and letters.
Posting the word search for a question that's posted every few days is perfectly relevent, taking a thread off topic because someone questions your opinion is slightly different, all my opinion ofcourse.

I don't mind bad spelling and grammar, I do mind people making no effort with it and using "typing from a phone" as an excuse, just read what you've typed before clicking "post". It's not too much to ask is it?
Everyone makes typos from time to time too, and that's ok.
There are quite a few dyslexic folk, both old and young around as well, and most of them make an effort to post properly.
Essentially, it was all a bit of fun that went wrong.
For example, it's quite funny that you spelt "illiterate" incorrectly. You can either laugh along with us, or chose to get the hump when someone points it out.
Do
- Be polite
- No txtspk
- Please make an effort to post in clear English.
