Lol.

If I thought that section was a work of satire, I would have been mildly
amused. The fact that it's meant to be taken seriously makes it hysterically
funny.

Here you go John, free of charge. Just cut and paste.

<AHEM>

"In addition, the improper use of punctuation marks will NOT be tolerated.
All posts in the forums will be reviewed and graded for errors, and I will
be reviewing the chat logs as well.  Penalties are as follows:

- Improper use of colon, semi-colon, exclamation point or question mark- one
race suspension.

- Misplaced comma or period - same as above.

-Should it be determined that an error was the result of a malfunctioning
keyboard, the offending party may escape with a warning, but considering the
heady rush I get when handing out suspensions...well, don't hold your
breath.

-Anyone caught using an ampersand instead of typing out the word "and" will
be subject to a lifetime ban from the STARS server. NO EXCUSES !!

By now, it should be very obvious (even to the open-mouth breathers)
that I don't care what people think about me, especially when they
haven't first had the pleasure of direct interaction.  After the
"first contact" occurs, people know that I'm a sensitive and caring
individual that also sports a scathing with and low tolerance for
absurdity.

Everyone should learn from Goy's example. Instead of fighting against
'the force", you should embrace it and allow your own belief system
to meld with it. He is a "good jedi" (tm).

I did say that I expect people to make the effort to type complete
sentences and type complete words. I believe the catch-all phrase I
used was "obvious attempt" at doing it right.

"John Simmons"  wrote

For me, the phrase "I demand" which preceded "obvious attempt" made far more
of an impact.

I am free on Tuesday nights. Though I'm certainly not fit to teach English
at a college level, I do have a firm enough grasp on the language that I
could hold remedial classes for your league if you like. Free of charge, of
course (I like to give a little something back whenever I can).

I just noticed that you announced to the readers of r.a.s, er, I mean
rec.autos.simulators that you are "a sensitive and caring individual that
also sports a scathing with". Scathing with?

Unacceptable. I'll see you Tuesday night, John, 8 p.m. sharp. You'll need to
bring several sharpened No. 2 pencils and some clean sheets of notebook
paper.
