The words are grammar, assume, and you.
If you are accusing me of having "dainty dish pan fingers", you better check my av and consult others on this board that know me and my abilities. Touting my own abilities is not becoming. I am anything but dainty, and we have a dishwasher thank you very much. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typing errors are quite forgivable in chat. This is not chat. In chat, things are happening very rapidly and stuff happens. On a forum, the posts are a permanent record of a conversation. Your intellect or lack thereof shows in your posts.
While it is true that many different cultures formed this country, it has only been very recently that the new immigrants have imposed their culture on the one that has melded together over the last two hundred years. Our country has taken its own character and formed its own customs which do not include roadside memorials (which quickly become trash). The country belongs to the citizens; it does not belong to the immigrants. If people choose to come here to live, then they should expect to live by the current customs of the land, not impose their customs. They should expect to learn the language of the country, not expect us to accommodate them.BuddyLee said:
Since the schools no longer teach history that isn't politically correct, you probably don't know that there was a vote as to what the official language should be in the United States; the vote was between English and German. English won by one vote. If it had gone the other way, much of history would probably have changed since we would probably come in on the side of Germany in WWI. If we had, Germany would have probably ruled the world and there would not have been a WWII, but I digress.
I would expect to and did follow the customs of the countries that I lived in from time to time even though I was usually only there for 3 to 6 weeks. I tried to learn at least some of the language and do things like the locals rather than be an "ugly American". I expect those that come here to live (not just visit) to learn English and conform to the way of life as it exists. It is only our PC direction that has made this an issue. If someone had placed a "roadside memorial" even twenty years ago, it would have been cleared away by the road crews as soon as they saw it. Can't do that anymore because you might offend some minority group.
I am not the only one that has gotten on to TruthDetector88 about his unintelligible posts. Spell as you like. Use correct or incorrect grammar. Punctuate correctly or not. It is your intellect that is showing.sunflower said:Last time i checked this was a form of entertainment? I could care less how you spell as long as i can read it....
I make mistakes all the time especially in chat where I can't have the time to reread my message. My spelling is not very good; ask my wife. I just try my best not to be hard to read. TruthDetector88 posts are often so unintelligible that they are virtually impossible to read. After a while, it is so bad that I, like vrai and jazz, just have to call a poster on their terrible English skills.sunflower said:all righty then... Make sure YOU never make any mistakes because you might run for president and OMG they might have copies of this....

I don't hate you. I put effort in to not hating anyone which is sometimes difficult.

I tell you what......the next time your driving down the road and you see someone putting together a roadside memorial.....why don't you just pull over, get out of your vehicle, and tell them just how stupid you think they are!
Until you have the ignorance to do that....let them grieve how they wanna grieve

....whoever just gave me positive karma for this post, ya forgot to sign your name. 
This has been posted before. I am not alone when I say I would rather not read gibberish like this.TruthDetector88 said:
Now even though your use of "there" instead of "their"TruthDetector88 said:
is incorrect, we do agree that the use of turn signals should rudimentary to proper driving skills.
Sorry. I had to do it. Truce. I will try not to correct your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other faux pas from this point forward.
See. I do make mistakes.Ken King said:

There is a reason why you can read this. We read words as a whole, not as individual letters. Each of these words contain all of the correct letters, and each sentence starts with a cap and ends with punctuation.
I guess you missed the encoded message within that paragraph.
That is not what you're doing.

Recently? It has throughout the history of the United States.
Our country has taken it's character and developed it's customs according to many not just one group in particular. The English language and other such customs you speak of are merely popular culture within our own. One day I believe this will change.
Irrelevant. The other countries you visited were not the United States. They do not have the same constitution and laws which govern our free nation. Freedom isn't so free when you can't speak your own tongue. We are and have always been a nation of many different cultures, races, and languages. Who is anyone to dictate those who make this country so great? I see nothing in the constitution which states otherwise.
P.S. If your worried about trash so much why don't you vote for a greener candidate.
