I couldn't tell if I was reading a really bad run-on sentence, or whether there wasn't any punctuation used.

By the time I went back re-read it, I already had a headache.

Terrible. F.

Unregistered...run a DME code/stomp test to determine the root cause of your check engine light. You made a lot of positive changes. And Tim if you can't tell the difference, then I suggest it is you who needs a lesson in grammar. Did it occur to you this may not be his native language and he came for advice and not criticism? Also, it ALWAYS follows that those who cast aspersion are clueless when it comes to providing advice....why they criticize, to compensate for their deficit.

...a global corporation for many years AND parusing more than my share of all kinds of message boards, it's been my experience that people who's primary language is not English rarely, if ever, have near-perfect spelling but use absolutely no spaces between words. Perhaps you haven't seen it, but there's a demographic/age group out who intentionally write the same way as this individual 'cause "it's cool".

While I could be quite wrong about this person (and if I am, you have and that individual both have my most sincere apologies), I think you are being a bit of a prick in basing your negative assessment of me on the simple fact that I did not post an answer for the individual. You are right, from what I've read of your posts, I probably know 5% or less of what you do about these cars, but I'm learning and I always try to share whatever I can. That is not to say I have no right to bust someone's chops in my own idiom because they chose not to use any spaces between words, making their post difficult to read.

Had you looked to bring to my attention (in a positive way) that this person **might** be learning English, I might've found myself feeling bad for teasing the guy, rather than thinking you just woke up in a shitty mood

Point taken. No harm done. No offense intended. Amen. Mozeltov.

George, are you not criticizing Tim, who in turn criticized the OP?

[George M]

to telegraph a message. And two wrongs don't make a right. I just wanted to let Tim know that posts on this board should not be critized for syntax as it is an international board and many times grammar is imperfect and is nebulous to the point of seeking information. He knows now.

uses some punctuation and paragraph breaks. Anybody that can formulate a sentence in English would know how to use *some*, even if not always properly.

This style of posting seems to be more and more common and I really don't know why. Perhaps it is deemed to be "cool" by our younger generation. I do know that it is very hard to read and determine *exactly* what is being said. Sure the gist is there, but that is often not enough to give a sure answer. There is a new poster on Roadflea that posts long rambling posts with nary a single period or comma and no paragraph breaks. He is not from the U.S. but I will not let that excuse him. He is from New Zealand and they do speak a form of English there. My wife spent a year there and said she was able to understand most of what they said. :-) It simply seems to be more common. Perhaps it is easier to type when you can ignore those extra keys.

Anyway, I don't like it and if I get into a discourse with somebody doing this I will, gently, ask if they would please use some punctuation. If they choose not to, then I do not read any more of their posts as they do give me a headache, as Tim said.

Maybe his sheep was typing it for him?
