    Lol. How hard can it be to grade 3rd grade work? I must admit though, the math that is taught to them sometimes catches up to me, i have to stop and figure out the problem first

    I assume that you're making light of the school system that seems to be treating you quite well.
    But (and you had to know there would be one), when you blow through writing a post using lousy spelling and grammar and then push the "Submit Post" button without first pushing the "Preview Post" button to fix things that are wrong, you are making the assumption the rest of us don't mind struggling through it to figure what you're trying to say. It's a little off-putting. You obviously have an education, so have respect for us and put it to use. Preview Post, Preview Post, Preview Post. And oh yeah, did I mention Preview Post?
    You've come to the right forum. Now, take a look around at how things are done and join in properly while you still can. You won't be sorry.
    As for the Gurkhas, put them away. They might fill the bill for you one of these days. You never know. Don't use the firehouse as a dumping ground. Take those guys a handful of Padron 2000s or something similar and tell them "Thanks". You'll be a much better citizen for it.

    This is something most decent boards struggle with - creating a sense amongst visitors that there are educated folks in their community...

    Think of it this way. If visitors needed to translate the bulk of the posts on this board because they were badly misspelled and grammatically butchered, what incentive would there be to stick around?

    I've lived in this neighborhood for many years. I've always enjoyed interacting with intelligent folks. I don't understand why lazy, supposedly educated folks would not feel obligated to post in a way others would understand. It so disrespectful when they don't.

    IMO Gurkha Beauty is not one of their best stogies. I didn't have a good experience with them also.

    Thanks for starting my Thursday off with a good chuckle!

    I now see how the internet distorts perceptions... I always pictured buzz as being the one on the far left, not the far right.
