RE: grammar
Are you kidding me? I thought i was in a mustang forum. Some of the best advice in this forums comes from all the dumb hicks. This thread reminds me of a female on pms, just looking for a reason to B*tch about something.

It's time we get this straightened up. It urks the crap out of me when people don't know the difference between their, there, they're, to, too, its and it's.
Their - reference to someone's property - Where is their 67 Mustang?
There - reference to general location - The 67 Mustang is over there.
They're - abbreviation for they are - They're getting the 67 Mustang today.
They're on their way to get the 67 Mustang over there.
To - usually connects subject to predicate - They are going to pick up the 67 Mustang.
Too - used in agreeance with, additional, also - He is going with them, too.
He is going to get the mustang, too. He too will be there to get it.
Its - possessive, ownership (no apostrophe, unlike other possessive words) - The 67 Mustang is on its way.
It's - it is - It's time to go get the 67 Mustang.
End of lesson.

When I need to write a good business letter I can do as well as anyone by using spell checker, and going over and over the letter and making revisions and such.In doing so I have both impressed lawyers and I have been mistaken for a lawyer. trust me on this (you might have to really try hard
). But I am not going to put that much effort and time into 99.9 % of my forum posts, often I ignore spelling and gramar issues that I notice prior to posting,and hit the post button anyway, hell, I'm neither gettinggraded or paid formy posts, and I'm really not looking to impress anyone. If I can convey the thought, that will do for me.
BTW I think I misspelled grammar at least once in this post.
mispelled??? I could spell check these,, but nah...

j/k Yeah, it "urks" (sic) me too! still kidding, ha ha!To be honest, I am far less bothered by poor grammar, spelling and diction as I am by lack of capitalization and punctuation (i.e. periods at ends of sentences). However, it is not because I am uppity with the English language, it issimply because I find it more difficult to read.
FWIW, some of the smartest people I know have terrible spelling and poor writing skills.
