I don't doubt you have a 3.8 GPA. But I would have never known unless you told me because frankly, you post like you are using AOL Instant Messenger. The way you communicate is fine for IMs, because IMs are realtime communication and it is more important to get the information out quickly than it is to get it out precisely.

This forum, on the other hand, is not a real time conversation (usually). It is intended to be a repository for information about the VehiCROSS. When someone who doesn't speak ebonics (or whatever the heck it is you speak) comes here and tries to get information about a particular question that you have asked/answered, the way you write makes it difficult to figure out what you are trying to say. I'm not talking about native English speakers here. Realistically, I can understand everything you have posted (with one exception), but it takes longer to read one of your posts than it does to read one that is written correctly. I'm talking about people (from Japan or Russia maybe) who, while they may be able to speak, read, and write English, they have no hope of understanding your region specific slang.

Also, capitalization and punctuation are very important in making what you have to say clear to the reader. They make it easier to tell at a glance where sentences start and end. It doesn't take that long to post an easy to read message, and it makes it so much easier on your readers. I can't fathom why anyone would be so inconsiderate as to post like you do.

But hey, if you really want to come across as an imbecile, more power to you. I'm sure people will eventually stumble across this thread and find out that you are a really smart guy with a 3.8 GPA (because everyone comes here to figure out how to LOWER The VX). But until they do, most of your readers are going to automatically put you in the same category as IRONBOY79. Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. You're too hard headed to recognize good advice when you see it. Best of luck to you.
