A period here and there would make your post a whole lot easier to read. Next lesson we will cover CAPITALIZATION.

If a person can't be bothered to take an extra second or two to add proper punctuation and/or capitalization, it makes them seem unintelligent, careless, lazy, and/or disrespectful.
Just my $.02
TJHfishin, you are going to have to start making your posts more legible. You have been railed on in every thread that you have started. You may or may not like the attention, but you are not going to get taken seriously until you start typing normally.
I am glad that you got a replacement rod on the way though.
i love TW.
im also guilty of murdering grammar. we are not typing up resumes , but you do need a period or two somewhere in there.

Your posts can be comprehended at least.

i hear ya. i hate that crap.
TJHfishin - if waiting an extra week for a rod is pretty bad news for you, id say youre doing a-ok.

Wow,
Math and a grammar class.
Some of us do have issues putting words into proper grammar, (Myself included) But should you not PM the guy before embarrassing him in front of the whole site?
I would venture to say he embarrassed himself when he left that post.
I am only stating ALL of us are different and some things must be looked over and forgiven.
This is a fishing site with a LOT of well rounded, VERY intelligent people that have a lot to offer.
If someone has a problem with another persons question or statement about fishing then they should take it upon themselves to educate in a private forum or simply do not reply and not turn a question or a statement into a grammar lesson for all to see.
TJHfishn,
Sorry to hear of your misfortune but I am glad that everything worked out for you.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy and catch lots of fish with your new gear!!

You haven't run into Long Mike have you ?
He communicated his point to me. Regardless of the grammatical errors, i got his post. If you're so disgusted with the grammer, why even click on reply? .
TJH, guides can be repositioned by bending them back very gently. What kinda rod was it? Sorry, what kind of rod was it?

Ha Ha, That's funny, I have seen some of his post's and he really knows how to crack a guy up!! ;D
But I would love to meet him one day...I think.
sorry for the grammar guys i do not own a computer instead i use my cellphone and alot of times I'm pretty busy and it was a shimano cumara.tackle warehouse well definitely see more of my money they overnighted the rod and its amazing i love it a curado and cumara matched made in heaven. Even if its not a core they balance nicely and I'm not embarrassed every ones entitled to there opinion. but thank you for the ones who actually commented on what i said not about my grammar. so tight lines
That explains a lot of it.
Thanks for the heads up and for being a stand up guy about it all !!
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
TJHfishin, there is an old adage that says "A person has only one chance to make a good First Impression." I will leave it to you to judge for yourself what impression you have made upon your audience. As I've stated before, there are only two reasons for people to use poor grammar and punctuation - ignorance and laziness. Ignorance is forgiven by your audience. Laziness is not.
Nitrofreak, those who know me know that I am not really an ogre. It's my failing that I have a very low tolerance for those who butcher the English language. I suppose it comes with being an Old Fart.
Remember, punctuation saves lives!!!
Let's eat grandma.
Let's eat, grandma.
TJH, now that your a member of the best bass fishing site, and am sure you'll have more questions, why not invest in an affordable laptop PC..? would make things much easier for you..
Oh, yeah...TW RAWKS.. 8-)

This is why you should support ***, they take really good care of all of their customers!

I agree with brushhoggin. Get over it. I find it sad that some of you are making decisions about a stranger's character based upon capitalization or punctuation. That doesn't mean he is lazy. For all we know he has a better work ethic than any of us. :

Now this guy said it perfect! nicely spoken Buddy.
all the people B!@#H about Grammar. HOWEVER 7 out of 10 people dont use it (And/Or use it poorly) when typing on a forum.
I dont but I can and truthfully find no real reason to really on quick post and replies on forums.
That was very readable at least most of it was spelled right. And if you cant read that and UNDER STAND IT WITH EASE... Well life must not be easy for you.

Sent you a PM, and Thanks for your reply!!!
SJB1226, thank you for adding an emphasis to, and a confirmation of, my statement. :

I somehow knew that was coming. Well played, old man.
TJ, did you ever get that replacement?
Hasn't it been said that, "anything worth doing is worth doing right"?
Some people really don't know proper grammar/spelling. It's easy to distinguish between them and those who blatantly desecrate written word with chat-room shorthand. The latter are the ones who really tick me off. Yep, I'm old too and don't like to see written word shredded by dissenting attitudes. Effort involving honest mistakes (though ugly as well) shouldn't deem the guy be dragged backwards through a knot hole in a fence post ;D

This forum is for fun and learning, not being bashed because you don't type perfect. Its not needed, 95% of people have no problem with poorly wrote posts and reply back about what is being asked. You will always have the people that have to have something to say, just to try and get under someones skin! Its funny and just shows that they are a waste of bandwidth!!
I'm not going to sit and type replies like I am being graded! I come on this site and share my views, not hate on people for this and that!
It's just stupid to try and make people mad or hurt their feelings just because you want to make pricky replies to what someone wrote!!
I'll probably get banned for this but oh well; maybe they should ban the ones that try and bother people and tease people!
Have a good one fellas....
I like legible posts, and consider myself a competent speller. But the grammar pontificating on this site really gets old. My uncle, who I consider to be far and away the most intelligent person I know, has been tossing emails back and forth with me the last couple weeks. I was tickled to see that he doesnt always capitalize the first letter of a sentence. These arent resumes, they are informal internet communications. If it bothers you that much, take your bitter old *** to the home and leave us in peace.
Best reply i have read in a long time.
