year ago? ;)
Yes, that was me. I also mentioned the mangled grammar. It was by
invitation; which is the only way I engage in that activity.
What I learned from the experience is that one might point out the
error in others' methods on how to tighten a fan belt because every
Corvair owner seems to have the perfect solution, but you damn sure
better not point out any errors in the way they wrote their
explanations. That, they can't handle.
I find it curious that there was a recent thread on the vv-talk about
the inability of store clerks to make correct change, but the lack of
writing and speaking skills seem to be overlooked.
I may start a new thread on recognizing sarcasm. GG gg
There I go again.
