I've been around for a while. I've had some different screen names but haven't posted much. However, based on some recent posts, I feel I must say something...

I can't believe how poor some people communicate their opinions on here. Do you have jobs or have you been through high school? The writing is so poor, no wonder why the sport is not a top line event. If I sent emails or other communications in the manner exhibited on here, I'd be fired tomorrow. If you can't write, don't post. You lose any credibility to support you position if you can't use the english language correctly!

Geez.... I'm all for people expressing their opinions, but too many posts on here can not be understood! Please go to another site that is not well established or respected if you can not communicate in an intelligent manner. I'm not referring to your position, but to your ability to communicate in a manner that can be understood.

Start your attacks, I know they will come.

I come here to get news and opinions that have some substance. I seldom post since the responses typically degrade into name calling rather than a true debate of solid opinions. If I have to read a post 2-3 times in an attempt to understand some 3rd grade garbage, then our sport will never gain the respect it deserves.

Sorry for the rant, but it has been getting on my nerves...

I can understand the 3rd grade posts that happen here , along with the name calling.....it does get old.....just don't read it if it bothers you that much.

BUT....honestly , the spelling thing can be argued on both sides. I don't really care if a guy spells a word the wrong way..........who gives a shit??.......It's a God damn MX message board for Christs sake!

What I don't agree with in your post is the spelling thing......."can't spell correctly.....don't post".......that's bullshit!

This isn't an English class.......either learn to deal with it , or move onto another message board.

Not trying to be a dick here.....just sayin'.

I understand the occasional misuse of the English language as far as punctuation goes every once in a while. What I don't understand is how you don't know you misspelled a word when there's a bold red line under each misspelled word on here. Is it just my computer or does everyone have that feature when they post? I may be weird but it means enough to me to google a word if I don't know how to spell it.

That's a feature of certain web browsers....not sure if Explorer has it though? Chrome and Firefox do for sure.

In the second paragraph, last sentence, seventh word, "you" should be replaced with "your". Proof reading posts intended on pointing out incorrect grammar and communication is typically a good course of action.

In all seriousness, I concur. There have been times I read a post multiple times and end up completely baffled as to what the poster is trying to say.

Even though i prefer to see people put together their posts in a way that is somewhat respectable, let's not forget the early days of msn, icq and MIRC chat that brought about abbreviations like "U" for the word "YOU" and the letter "R" to replace "OR" , eventually that kind of typing on the internet became so popular, there were abbreviations for lots of words. I think over time that kind of typing became so accepted that eventually misspelling entire words became accepted too and before we knew it, most people forgot how to spell correctly!



Its interesting to look at how the evolution of the internet has degraded the English language for many, one might say that "The evolution of the internet and the devolution of English went hand in hand" and in my opinion that statement holds just a little bit of water, maybe not comparable to the ocean, but to Niagara falls at least!

sounds to me like somebody needs to harden the fuck up. it gets on my nerves when people bitch about grammar. people here care about destroying moto tracks not building a perfect sentence or whining about spelling. seems to me the bitching and moaning is a bigger problem than grammar. you guys want to talk moto , or discuss diagramming a fucking sentence and beautiful spelling and how sometimes your pussy starts hurting? get real. sorry for the rant.
