    My excuse for poor grammar and spelling...

    I am a very slow typer. Usually I am about 2 to 3 paragraphs ahead in my mind then where my fingers are at typing at any given time. What I had hoped to be a good post... turns into chaos. Being a poor speller turns the chaos into a disaster. Being almost a full German makes me too stubborn to delete the whole worthless thing and walk away. The itty bit of Danish in me... craves pastries which has nothing to do with any of this.

    Safe to say... you be screwed ifn' you be looking for much improvement. I do try... really I do but I am just too complex in the most simplistics of ways. Or is that the other way around ?? :confused:

    Man I could really go for a good carmel roll about now.

    What were we talking about ??


    Hhhmmmmm ????

    Wonder why there is this stupid smilie :sheep: and not a barf smilie. You can do so much more with a barf smilie.

    is smilie spelled smilie ??

    If not will some guy with a big stick have a problem with it ??

    I suppose I could googley-moogley it.

    naaaa

    smilie

    smilie

    Why yes, it is. Actually your first was very good also. Kind of a toss up to tell you the truth. I just wanted to make sure both options where explored to make this site the best it can be. There are a few with very high standards around here that we need to appease. We should all be like that. :tu:

    I needed a minute to vent about one thing today. I don't do it often and everything else I have to ***** about would probably get me kicked out.

    I'm just tired of seeing one post after another on some of the bowhunting threads that decided to jump the shark halfway through the third paragraph. Without fail, those posters tend to have the worst spelling and grammar usage out of the bunch.

    It's a deal breaker for me. Kinda of like the thought of Siman or Hooker trying to t-bag me while I'm asleep.

    You needed to vent and we were looking for someone to pick on in a fun way. I look at it as a win-win. Don't take any of our replies ill willed in the least... especially mine. It wasn't. I can find enough stuff to fret about... I don't need to bring that attitude here. The forum is an escape from the doom and gloom.

    Course t-bag with siman or Hooker in the same sentence... did you really need to share that ??? ( would some please install a barf smiley !!! ) :barf:

    I was fully prepared for any and all responses that might be made to my initial rant. I have, in fact, enjoyed all of them thoroughly.

    Next week, I'll bring up expressive interjections and the proper way to use them. For instance, Mmmm is used improperly much too often. It's an example of something pleasurable. Ummm or Hmmm would indicate you're thinking. Every time I IM someone at work and they respond Mmm, I want to punch them for getting off on my question.
