Grammer
Is it just me, or does it always seem like the BMX posters have such terrible spelling and punctuation? Where did you all go to school at? Does your teacher know about this?
Well, you'll all probably tell me to go to he11. That's okay, I can take it!

What about not ending a sentence with "at"?

I am always amazed at folks complaining about grammar and spelling.
They ALWAYS complain about everyone's "grammer," thereby displaying their own ignorance for everyone to see.
This is not the first time this has happened on the forums. It is a regular event.

i feel that presenting yourself well, even if it entails responding to a thread on a bike forum is important. i don't know the age groups of all offenders, nor am i the grammar police <heaven knows you can't legislate these things> but the offenses run from the mundane to absolute ridiculous.
that said, there are many times i fail to use proper grammar, but does anyone else feel that the message gets lost in poor structure?
p.s. the BMX posters are not the only offenders.

hello
The one word I often see used on this entire forum which bugs the crap out of me is "prolly" instead of "probably". I wouldn't call that a simple case of misspelling.
