Grammar, spelling...not so much

This is a PM I received in regard to the V8 FC I'm trying to sell. I can't decide which is worse...the spelling, the run on sentance, the grammar...

I weep for our future.

What a poorly constructed sentence!

A pet peave of mine -I have many. You just have to wonder if people are too lazy, stupid or just don't care. (I have MY opinion...).

As much as I love Gainesville (and I do) I am glad that I don't live there any more... too many of you freaks have cars I want. It is like Atlanta or Ballston Spa, NY to me.

The lack of capitalization and punctuation suggests it was sent from a phone - okay, I kind of understand that. And as much a "u" and "ur" make my blood boil, I understand they're slowly becoming accepted abbreviations for some forms of electronic communication. But the rest...holy hell.

maby, interist, mined, daly, git, ishue, cuz, haft, probly

You almost haft to run that through a translator.

It's horrible! It's not even internet speak, or short hand. It's just awful. Make it go away!

Exactly! The misspellings are comical.

Mostly on topic, here's the title for a CL ad locally: "98 tourse"

Tourses aside, do people not realize that browsers have spell check built in these days? Do they think the red underline is for decoration purposes?

In the future, whenever you comment on somebody's spelling, make sure you run your own post through a spell-check (e.g. “sentance”)

What's worse is the internal mind thread going on behind the post. What would it be like to be inside his head?

Go back and slap a 4th grade teacher.

Good point. Oops!

I'm not even going to bother to say what I want to, because obviously he didn't either........that's today's american youth......facepalm

I guess spelling's not allowed in schools, along with everything else <-<

it was a drifter, trying to type with a PBR in one hand and a cig in the other...

The American school system has always produced plenty of near functionally illiterate people over the years. The information age makes them much more visible.

Nah, slap the parent(s). If there is a bad teacher at work, there are worse, non-participating parents not involved in the live of a child at work here.

That's not a message i would even think about replying to.

Benefit of the doubt sometimes helps. Sometimes it's quite a reach.

Yeah, slap dem parents!

I wouldn't respond to JDMDriftYo, he wrote that way because he wanted to send it fast because he was busy putting his hellaflush illest wheels on and while taking a swig of his PBR, zip tieing his front bumper, he saw this ad....I know this type of person haha I KNOW! He is a great guy though, he does all these things but is nowhere near as stupid or ignorant as most of the others haha

I wold reply using his language, but I don't know if I can. My head hurt reading it.

Just tell him "no hablo espanol"

Old joke about southern politician making stump speech: "My opponent says I'm so uneducated I spell "bird" BURD. I ask you, if BURD doesn't spell "bird," what does it spell?"
