royal acting weird?

Yeah I've learned there a lot of blow hards here, with nothing better to do then pick apart a post that was originally looking for real help. You must be in the group.

You do realize that to be able to offer help you need to be able to understand the post first

Now I think that it is fantastic that you are able understand the OP, and since you do maybe YOU should be productive and offer the right answer.

Keep in mind that when people post like they text or fail to use proper punctuation it can make it very difficult for someone else to understand them, I had to read the post 3 or 4 times myself.............then again English is not my thing anyway

Too funny, I think this is the first time someone has been so immature as to call me a name on here (second time, if you count the slur PM'd to me ). I posted twice with statements about using decent grammar. At no point did I attack the OP as a human being or even as an intelligent human being. I wasn't even sarcastic until the "happy now" post. The burden of communication is on the writer, not the reader. If someone wants others to understand and respond to questions, it shouldn't be unreasonable to ask them to use the occasional period.

To the OP - Whether or not you believe me, it was not my intent to derail your thread. I'm glad that people were so much more concerned about my criticism than about your question.

Good point, I have a coworker who is very intelligent but is recently from Germany. From now on when he tries to communicate with me, I'll tell him to learn proper English before I answer his questions. How dare he attempt to speak to me without proper grammar!

Unless I'm mistaken, the OP is from a country where English is the first language. Deborah isn't, and she seems to be doing just fine.

Is it a full moon or something?

Anyone feeling antsy please refresh your knowlege of the infraction system.

Personal Slurs -- 5 pts
Referring to someone's gender, intelligence, race, religion, etc in a derogatory manner. Mocking someone's ability to type or spell will fall under this one as well.

So can we all relax and un-knot our collective knickers?

I guess you are right! I think I would have replied more along the lines of. " not sure i understand your question, could you try to be more clear?" But maybe that is expecting too much from an Internet forum.
Ill leave this alone now, I must be in the minortity when think politeness can be extended through an online forum.

Ask a simple question, and your supposed to get a simple answer (lol). Anyway thanks for everyone's help it's very welcome. And i hope the PUNCTUATION is to everyone's standards.

Thank you for proving my point that it wasn't a lack of ability on your part to use these elements, but a choice not to.
