If a heart surgeon has to learn about heart surgery, he wouldn't be a heart surgeon till after. 

When we ask "learn me" we want to know more about something we don't know. 

Edumacation is a gooder thang. cheeky

You always capitalize shooting brake when it’s preceded by a contraction and indefinite article. Pretty common knowledge.

I'll be honest I ignore the ' learn me ' threads especially when it comes to appliances/unobtaniums but when it covers trucks/tow-pigs I've got bigger ears than Dumbo.

What I love about this forum is that we can talk about some very similar things a bunch of times and not get bored by it. smiley

Google “learn me” followed by whatever your looking for. 9 times out of 10 the first result is from here. It’s the best way to search imo!

The title of this thread should've been: "Learn me some learn me."

Maybe you should get one of those phablets?  Like the iPhones XS?  I hear they're pretty hot right now.

I see that you used to be the style Editor for MAD Magazine.  I loved your work.

By the way, I am NOT a spelling or grammar Nazi (I capitalized Nazi). I’m 100% positive I’ve made mistakes here. 

The difference is that I didn’t start a thread referring to us with the word “stupid” in it. He wrote “America” but that was a cop out because “learn me” threads as far as I know are unique to GRM. 

Again, not a spelling or grammar Nazi. But I will suggest if or when you start a thread asking if people are stupid, you at least don’t butcher the title then go on to butcher the body. Then use the “I typed it on my phone” excuse. I haven’t used anything but a cell phone to type for several years now. I have yet to have my phone use an apostrophe as a quotation mark. Nor has it capitalized a letter at the end of a word. And the fat finger excuse is getting old too. I’m 6’-3” and weigh 260 lbs and my fingers do ok.

I’ve leave with this parting suggestion to the OP: hang out a little longer and become part of the community before you phrase questions the way you did. If you had hung around and gotten to know these guys, and allowed yourself to be FLOORED by the amount of knowledge these guys have, you never would’ve started this thread.

I am offended by the abbreviation “GRM”.   “Grassroots” is ONE word, not 2.

On the champcar forum every sarcastic response is in green font.  It works awesome!
