I didnt intend to imply that just because someone could not spell or use proper grammar, that they were "ignorant", and if thats the way you took it-my apologies. however i do believe that what you say and write sheds a little light about yourself, and thats that. i love all rthe info on this site, and will continue to no matter what.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

Rooster, way to go! I can't spell, barely can operate the computor, and still can't figure out the spell checker you guys are talking about. My son will home this weekend, perhaps he can help me.

But.................I'm fairly  fast! And I enjoy shareing stuff, makes me faster if you push me to try harder.

I just don't understand what grammar or composition have to do with racing Lawn mowers?

It has nothing to do with actually racing Lawn Mowers,  but quite a lot to do with effectively communicating
information concerning racing Lawn Mowers.  

We are not racing here on this forum. We are communicating information, which is not to say that we cannot learn from a "poorly constructed piece of literature" .. we certainly can.  And if that is the best a person can do then so be it.

I see no one expecting or even suggesting that folks be "professional writers" , and neither do I imagine that anyone is worrying about it much at all.

But is it really that unreasonable to expect at least a little effort in communicating in a way that is easier to understand ?
  
Or maybe we should all just look at the camera and say, " I like to race mowers and I'm real good at it but I ain't no smarter than a third grader !"    
SO ARE WE READY TO LOCK THIS NOW?

Why lock the thread?   Civilized debate is healthy, meaningful and can even be fun.
