Or, at least that's what Google translate says it says. OBTW, it's Arabic.Perhaps we should allow only to fall completely through the cracks of the English and start posting in different languages

Maybe not as public as you'd like if you insist upon name-calling. And by the way, "...I expect everyone with whom I come in contact to be perfect...musser1972 wrote:I am perfect and I expect everyone I come into contact with to be perfect or I'm going to whine and complain... Really??? TOOL!

Re: Pet Peeve of a Grammar Nazi
What is posted here may be seen by the community at large. We may be seen as seen as representatives of the gun community (and CCW community), which we are. Why not put forth the best image possible (instead of what some may see as the stereotypical bubba image)? Proof read your post once or twice and put forth your best effort. We will still all make mistakes (and I am sure I have even made them in this post).
Nothing against anybody who's writing skills are less than others if they try (God knows as an engineer, I have relatively poor communication skills). If you are to lazy to even try, why not save even more effort and not post?

Re: Pet Peeve of a Grammar Nazi
I've been relying on the spell checker in Firefox but because of this thread I've just added the After the Deadline add-on.
It checks spelling, usage, grammar, and sentence structure.
I'll report on how things go in a week or so.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 which, when I check for updates, is said to be the latest version.pirateguy191 wrote:I tried to download After the Deadline, but it isn't compatible with the latest version of Firefox.AlanM wrote:I've been relying on the spell checker in Firefox but because of this thread I've just added the After the Deadline add-on.

After the Deadline installed perfectly on my machine.
I didn't use the download from the link I published, however, I got it from HERE.
