For your own safety...

.....
“A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

Case in point is #22 of this thread. I was one eyeing it and kept on hitting the "back" button so I didn't F up. I still did but it is okay, tomorrow I won't remember a thing so it really never happened...

This site and others are straight retarded with people's posts If it isn't some One telling you to wear life jackets at the boat ramp, some one else is telling you about grammar and how you type. It makes me almost over it.

Meanwhile, back at OSO headquarters a "how to post properly" seminar was taking place.....

What really concerns me more than the "easyspeak" is the lack of proper grammar and use of words such as were/we're, there/their/they're, your/you're, etc. Also the misspellings. I could understand it if this were a forum for young people but these are posts by intelligent, educated and successful people. Are we becoming a nation of illiterates?

I must admit that during my HS years I was more worried about how I was going to make it out of the class without anybody noticing my erection than listening to anything the teacher had to say. Now at 55 that problem has all but disappeared so maybe I will go back just so you guys can sleep at night............NOT.

It is amazing how many successful people here make themselves look like total morons. If you can't grasp proper grammar or can't spell you're an idiot and need to go back to school.

Why? is there a prize for the best speller?? Are my posts up for a letter grade?? If I spell their instead of there will it go down on my permanent record?? If you people were having a dockside conversation at your local waterfront bar, would you interupt your buddy and say "Excuse me, but "y'all" and "aint" are not acceptable words in proper english. Therefore, you must retract your previous statement and rephrase so that it is pleasing to my ears"

At that point my friend, I b!tchslap the beer out of your hand and say "whaddafuq u talkin bout willis?"


Please people, put the umbrella back in the drink, set it on the bar, step back and reevaluate the manliness of your foofoodom....
