Is there any chance of having a spell/grammar checker on this site?

I'm really sorry, but you guys should at least try to type the English language correctly.

I fully understand the occasional type-o, but come on, at least try to speak the language.

We have European members who speak (type) better English (American) than most of you cheap bastards.

Don't hate me for bringing this up, but it's starting to wear me down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Would "tyres" suit you or do insist on the American "tires".

For all I care, you can bang your haid against a wall till your brains leak out.

Oh good, making friends. That's what I was hoping for (dangling preposition, sorry).

BTW, I insist on American 'tires'.

I'll tell you what. In respect to Gustl B (if that's his real name), when adressing him directly, I'll use proper English....maybe even speel ( I can't quit, I'm hooked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) ) the words correctly. Best I can do.
I even went back and corrected 2 fat fingers in this post.

I'll even appologize for my rude response.....sorry bout that shit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Don't let your brains leak out, BTDT.

i am very guilty, i type one handed and spell very badly

in school i learned the whole word method (which sucks) and was deaf till age three, so i was way behind in reading and writing till 5th grade. now for the scary part at age 17 i had an iq of 165, which put me at a 98 percentile. so i am living proof you get more stupid with age.

and better brains leaking than oil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spank.gif)

happy jp i fixed it

Cheap bastards?!

Hey, I resemble that remark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Joe....here is some recommended reading by Dr. Richard Carlson:

"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff....And it's All Small Stuff" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

http://www.enotalone.com/books/0786881852.html

Mis-spelled words stick out like a sore thumb to me too, but I try to save my (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) for working on my cars, plenty of that to be had!

Someone awhile back posted (or I received an email) a document that had every word in it mis-spelled, except for the first and last letter of each word (I better not post it, you may have an aneurysm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). You could read it perfectly. Strange how the brain works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Ya'll IS perfectly acceptable. If'n you live round here.

All Ya'll is everyone out out there in 914world.com

and "judge he really needed a kilin" is a perfectly acceptable excuse.

If I mispell something it is because my my brain is 2 steps ahead of my fingers. Sometimes I do go back and edit. But I always spell BOOBS right..

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And you do JP, but I have to say that sometimes it is VERY hard to understand you. Or even what you have wrote about.

Ok, maybe it is just me. My English is not too good. It is my second language. Sometimes I feel shame I can not write like JP and others. I am a little afraid my comments may sounds "different" because I can not write them in the "cool" way. I can write the English only in the way they taught me in the school. Sorry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

But, I do understand most of all the posts here. It doesn´t bother me if somebody don´t use the language correctly and I don´t understand all. I´ll ask if I want to understand something better.

But, the reason I like this site so much is the pictures. I usually do understand them all. Even those sended by JP. Oh, and most of the Andy´s too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I like especially project pictures. We have cold winter and lots of snow right now here in Finland. It really cheers me up to see what you are doing there. So, keep on sending lots of 914 pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I agree with Joe on this. The "spelled wrong for emphasis" don't bother me, but damn people, just proofread your posts and you'll find lots of goofs.

If correct Spelling and gramer were the new Law in Forum Town on the internet, It would be a very quite place indeed.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

And all of you that demand us all to be perfect.... you will now HAVE to be perfect in every way all the time because your posts will now be scrutinized.

And by the way... How can a site that has this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif) as a main smilie have members that demand perfection?
