not loud enough for hardly anybody to hear, (I didn't, i was transitioning to new lead in two man), but my partner did...whacked him.

if i'm the trail, i probably let it go, and talk to the kid as we head down the court...

thoughts?

Use the shift key properly to avoid giving the impression that you're an under-educated teenager.

gotta be honest here...kind of techno-challenged. don't know what you mean. if i committed a sin, i apologize. i'm almost 50, and don't use the internet much. e-mail and about 4 websites. don't know much about internet protocol.

I think what mbyron means, stir, is follow the basic grammar rules we all learned. Capitalize sentences and Is. Just like in officiating, appearance counts.

Oh, okay. Gotcha. Many thanks. I will do that from now on.

There are 2 people to watch out for on the forum. Mr. Annoying Spelling Guy is one. Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy is the other. You can put others on 'ignore', but the two aforementioned guys are omnipresent.

My daughter sends me similar emails. I just assumed that the shift key on her keyboard must be broken?
