i understand that but when someone writes their response all like this and has multiple sentences running together its hard to understand what they are talking about or asking so to get the best response to the question that youre asking youd think that youd want to make it easier to figure out what it is that youre asking im not a grammar **** or even the best speller myself but at least put some punctuation into your post so people dont have to decode it its hard to take a question or response seriously when its all jumbled together
Would you rather read a paragraph like the one I have above or one like the one I'm typing currently? I'm not saying that they have to be perfect, just readable. It's just easier when it at least has periods and question marks.

I think forums arnt for you if this bothers you... its everywhere and all day... I can read either way... doesn't bother me a bit... if you stick around you'll get used to it and it wont bother you anymore either... but if you complain every time you see it then your gonna be doing a lot of complaining lol...

I've been around forums for a long time. Motorcycle, car, computers, ect. I've also been around this one for a little bit as well though I don't post often. I don't complain everytime I see it. You're right though, I'd be complaining a lot if I did. LoL We're not all english majors but we all know what a period does. Maybe my forum stardards are high.
I guess what I was getting at, was to at least make it a little bit easier to figure out what you're asking and you might get more help faster.

Since this thread is already jacked, here is the importance of punctuation:
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Yours,

Yeah it makes my wife a bioch and my sex life non-existant for a week.
I never trust anything that can bleed for a week and live.

How the hell did we end up arguing about punctuation in a thread that started because a guy wanted to lift his Jeep 3" by lowering it? Sheesh.
(Oh, and some of us call that War Paint, man.)
((And at this point it probably ought to be moved to chat.))
