Tom,
"why make readers struggle to read what you're trying to say?"
I'm sure this is not intentional. There are a lot of good people
here that have a ton of skills with Vanagons. To bad we all
have to have english skills also, to communicate in this fashion.
I'm probably one of the biggest offenders. Why? Not because
I'm trying to make people struggle. It's because I want others
to see that without good english, you should not let it stop
your entire life. I know to many good people that will not
participate in many things because they are embarrassed
about there reading and english skills. This is just sad.
I also have a BIG objection with english. I have used logic
in every way to learn about, and study most anything. You
can always learn some rule or find out about the history of
something to figure out why things are the way we have it
today. But engish? Does any one have a rule to follow
that can tell me when and why the word "thought" has a G H T
on the end. I spell it "thru" .....screw english
Good thing its friday.
