If you want to point that out as you have, maybe people should take note of "being polite" unfortunately this point seems to evade many in there comments.
there is a difference between being polite and banter/having a laugh.

I laughed when you spelt illiterate wrong, it is just the irony of the statement!

And being young is no excuse for poor spelling and grammar; I am one of the young members you speak of and as far as I know, I cope OK!

Is it really too much effort to type "you're" instead of "your", especially as doing so makes things clearer for everyone else to read. A whole two extra key presses.

Blitz wheels regularly pop up on driftworks every few days there seems to be a set in decent specs, they should be the cheapest out of your options too. Second hand they seem to go for only 3-400 pounds.

I doubt you'll find a set in a "s2000" offset though

Maybe it would be alot easier to accept that alot of younger members will spell and punctuate incorrectly now and again, I don't like text speak, but i rarely see any on here. Even if someone is illeterate like I've been deemed myself it doesn't mean that person is of any lesser value than others.

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.
The typing from your phone excuse is a cop out and an attempt to excuse your pure laziness. Most phones have a spell checker and even if the the predictive mode misinterprets your poor spelling it will insert the wrong word, not insert an incorrectly spelled work.

There are no illiterate (illeterate ) posters on here. Only those who never bothered to make the effort to learn in the first place or just can't be bothered to make the effort in their posts. Age has nothing to do with it.

Stop blaming everyone else for picking up on your inadequacies and do something about it rather than bleating on about how mean we all are and how life is 'so unfair'.

Are your college lecturers not bothered by the standard of your written English or do you just make more effort for them? Maybe written English isn't so important when you're doing a degree in how to be a car mechanic.

Life isn't unfair I've got everything I wanted and do very well for myself at my age. If anyone who matters in life picks up on my poor grammar I'll happily make an attempt to rectify it.

Anyone that matters will expect more than just an 'attempt'.
