It has gotten far worse in schools in America. Students dont listen to their teachers, or walk out in the middle of class. It gets to the point that I wish school was run like a military academy. At least then their would be discipline and respect.

Hi Blade... Grin

One of the top British Broadcasting Corporation, (BBC), news reporters used the word "gotten" the other day and I could imagine millions of British people *cringing, upon hearing it on the radio.... Angry

Well you fella's will be pleased to know that the only swear word I use regularly is BUGGER! Grin

Its not too rude and can be used in many many situations and usually in place of f**k aswell. As for spelling and punctuation, I think i'm pretty good. Grin

Id like to coment that of all the forums found on the information super highway,this is about the cleanest I`ve encountered.Im new to computers,and I never took typing in school-I exelled in Industrial Arts-Typing was for girls in that day,so if I mis-spell a word,or mis-place a punctuation it doesent mean Im stupid.The skills of my hands provide a decent and comfortable life and future for my wife and two sons.I can speak the language properly,not type it-I "chicken peck" these messages out because I enjoy the conversation and exchange of information found here.As far as foul language goes,the word"crap"is no worse an expletive than "bloody hell"Thats the worst you`ll here from me.If the paragraph needs someting a bit more,you might see"#%*#!@"just to lend the point gravitas.Besides,this is a flight simulation forum,not Shakesperian actors orratory school! 8)

To bad I cant make a living out of this,but it would probably kill me.

Hmmmmmmm!!!!!! Are we expected to be perfectionists in our Typing and English skills? With all the comments made here, maybe a Moderator should make up some ground rules for what is expected. Is that really necessary? This is a Flight Sim forum and I love it in here. I agree with Phil, and I suspect a lot of participants are "Hunt and Peck" typists and have not a lot of time to sit down type, correct or proof read. I type 85 wpm and make mistakes which I hate correcting, its time consuming and one is only trying to make a point, ask questions or comment on a subject. I am also an old fart, my use of language leaves something to be desired sometimes (I spent 36 years in the military), and I havent seen anything in here to upset me at all, whether said by a 12 year old or a 65 year old. I love the information that can be gleaned from these forums and have put a lot of it to good use to upgrade, update and make my FS better, even tho' sometimes I have to read between the lines or ask for elaboration. Sorry guys, I dont mean to preach, but I just don't see a problem here. You want to see bad language, go into multi-player and watch the "scrolling comments" in the lobby. Anyway "enuf" said lol, lmao, rotflmao. Anybody pissed at what I said, tell me so. I like that. Grin
