More advocacy for the dumbing down of 'Merica and 'Mericans.

Fortunately, the clients for the handful of websites I design and
maintain are sticklers for proper English. This forum, wrecked.boats, is
the appropriate outlet for trash talk and careless, trashy use of
language.


Nothing to do with the dumbing down of anybody. The idea is to get a
message across using fundamentally understandable and acceptable
language and structure.

I was more interested in being awarded a $800K contract for a thin film
deposition system or handed a check for $1,700 for a guitar than
receiving an "A" for using proper grammar or sentence structure.





And that attitude - the acceptance of substandard English - contributes
to the dumbing down of 'Merica.

You need to walk downtown and tell the folks you meet on the sidewalk how 'poor' their grammar and
sentence structure are. You'd probably come home with your ass in your hands, or your head shoved up
there.

You're a joke, Krause.


That's for sure.. He really doesn't know what grammar and spelling I had
issues with on the site, if you notice he never pointed anything out, he
just ran his mouth.

I got the home page proof read and I think we got it down... I am sure
harry will say otherwise, but he doesn't know ****..
