Not everyone has the same skills, just because you spot a defecit ( not sure why your looking in the first place) doesn't give you the right imo to put somebody else down. I'm sure you have things your not so good at, we all do me included. This is a bike forum after all, not the society for correct spelling punctuation and grammar. Who knows what effort has been made to improve the posters English, and who are you to ask? If you can't understand what was written, then ask politely or move on, is that too much to ask?

I just sent a PM to the guy to try and help him out with his query. Whilst I have found it hard to understand the english, I think i get the jist. I mentioned to him not to worry; if my dad came on here and typed to you guys, he would probably get flamed too as his english isn't great.

The bloke could be foreign too?

Matt, I like you, you know that, you're a top bloke.

But boy, you are so kind.

Foreign - cobblers.

Lazy (IMO) - definitely!

I agree fully with this.

I'd suggest however that there is a difference between doing your best to type in understandable English and using text speak. Whilst I think that some of the replies to the OP border on just plain offensive, the OP clearly needs to make an effort to communicate in a language that the majority of the forum users have at least a small chance of understanding. That is only common forum courtesy.

I could decode all that was written, some of you chose not too because.....well...it makes you feel superior to pretend you can't!
Pathetic. Some welcome....

If he had been Italian, Chinese or whatever who had a difficult time with English which would have been obvious from grammar, then I am sure members here would make concessions. I am also sure that if literacy is an issue, concessions would be made, but that looked to me like some mutation of irc or im.

Yes, I could decypher it, but why should I have to (it is not easy reading) especially after the OP has been asked not to write like that. He could have gotten away with it but he gave no indication that I could easily see that English is a problem. To continue without such indication is just plain disrespectful towards forum members. It has absolutely nothing to do with superiority. While the sh** was laid on a bit heavy, it was not entirely undeserved.

Cheers
