Thanks! This was a long time coming. I, for one, am sick of reading poorly written posts with ghetto-speak, bad grammar, etc...
Communication is vital in ANY field. Those that think that they can get away with improper English and a failure to READ, WRITE, and SPEAK correct English in the American workforce are in for rude awakening. While it may seem cute to write and speak slang and use improper English, others will laugh behind your back and think you're a ***** and/or uneducated. In the end, it is only the poorly educated and poorly disciplined person that winds up losing that job offer, that contact, that help, etc...
We here at TS understand that there are quite a few foreigners here and we also take that into account that English is not their native language - this does not pertain to you. In fact, it is a sad commentary on education and the state of discipline when foreigners use better written English than Americans.
Thanks Cap'n - that was a refreshing post and I am glad there are others out there that think like I do.
BTW- Perfect example of a bad post that I came across today: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic112992.html
