Default Reading Comprehension (Rant Warning)

Well there are a few online forums that i post on, and the last few months I have noticed something, A lot of people don't get the message of a post. For example . a post that is iOpinion based. the person that posted the message says in the tittle "The reason I feel this is better then that" .. then in the body of the message stats things such as I don't like this about that cause I feel it doesn't show this or that. Once the word feel is added to the statement is makes it an opinion so by default it can't be true or false. fact or fiction.

Then I'll see post after post responding to that persons opinion in a way you would respond t a fact based statment that if found to be not true. Example. "You can't say you don't like this or that, Because that can't be compared to this: or You said you like apples better then oranges. well you can't compare the to fruit beacuse you can peel and apple but not an orange. they are two completely different things.

I'm a wrong for letting this bother me. have things always been this way? I know when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade I was taught reading comprehension. It really is not that hard. I think this is one of the reasons why this country is going the the Sh*t whole, People are not take the time to understand what is written. So much good info is at everyone disposale and the majority of people don't seam to understand it.

thank you for taking the time to read this and your Opinions are welcomed.

While I do agree with the general message you are pointing out here, you had to see something like this coming:

Did they teach you grammar and spelling in the 3rd and 4th grade?


Had to be done. Once again, I agree with what you are saying.

Your grammar and spelling suggests that you didn't progress beyond the 3rd or 4th grade.

Like most have said it is not hurting. For added insurance I add a bottle every 5k so year I do it with ever oil change. And like Metro273 run hard . or harder then normal driving on the high way. Let your motor breath. when you have a tank of FI Cleaner Don't tap redline, but keep the car at the optimal rpm for HP..
^ Nope, it wasn't a test. That's just the way he always writes.

yes, my grammar and spelling is really bad. What can I say, most of the time I do not go back to prof read my post. That is 100 percent my fault, So, I do know the errors I have committed and also know I will make more of those errors in the future. If anyone does not understand what I have written I will go back an correct it to make it understandable to them.
