Thank you George. At least SOMEBODY got the joke! ;)

Now wait just a dog-gone minute! Spelling errors are one thing but grammar
corrections in a forum like this are rude and just plain wrong! This is a
computer game entertainment forum which means, and I can only speak for
myself; casual conversation and grammar applies. We are not here writing
business letters, we are only conveying the words and language we use in our
normal (casual) speech which also conveyes our personalities in our words
and grammar. For example, I speak differently when I am at work speaking in
a business meeting or writing a business letter than I do when I'm with the
guys talking computer games.
If I were to tell you this joke in person and verbally said, "I should of
asked." You would not sit there and correct my grammar now would you?
We are with 'the guys' here now so if you want to correct my "should of"
with a "should have" I'll pour my virtual beer on your head and send you
back to the Xbox kids! ;)
Stay cool man!

Sloppy grammar is just as bad as sloppy spelling and denotes either laziness
or ignorance or both.

I do. I could give a hoot if I am correct by the rules. I USUALLY get
my point across. The more rules the teachers piled on in school, the less
I paid attention. English and math, two very rule-ruled, classes were not
my best subjects.

There are other things it could denote but they all involve a modicum of
insight into the general human condition. One could perchance take some
situations with a tad more lightness.

rec.autos.simulator. Shouldn't it be rec.auto.simulators?? Freekin Geeks!
