Talking Can't internet users spell?

I was looking at clubgti's forum this morning and came across this thread. The spelling in the second post is shocking to say the least On the first post I was shocked to see that someone couldn't spell enough then read the second post

http://www.clubgti.com/forum/forum_p...TID=25398&PN=1

What do you think?

I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE ...................OK ?

There are some people out here who don't get to access Scoobynet Everyday and therefore they don't get to see all, You guys who have this SIAL mentality make me want to spit. Whats so clever about having seen something before? Leave us alone eh ?
Rant over...... phew I needed that. :-)

*I* "give a fvck", Gary. Quite a few others do too.

But maybe not the thread for you to contribute to if it doesn't interest you, eh?

Gary

Did you even bother to click the link and see what we are talking about or were you in such a rush to click the reply button and slag off this thread

The particular thread that I am referring to is very funny from a spelling point of view and isn't simply picking on someone because they incorrectly spelt a word.

There are much worse examples than that on the Club GTI BBS .. believe me!

Then again, I'd rather have a lively, democratic BBS (with poor spelling and all) than one on which only people with perfect grammar and spelling were to contribute.

I know my spelling, punctuation, etc. aren't perfect all the time but I do try and make an effort to learn. I guess it's the people who know they are wrong but don't care, or worse still, those who are proud of their lack of skills that make me despair.

Since I've made the only connection to bad spelling and Scoobynet on this thread, I assume this boIIocks is aimed at me. I've heard your point before "so who gives a fvck" about your opines
