Yeah, I couldn't figure that one out from the context either.

He recently put an adishion on his house:



And he'd like to know how to keep it quit in the mourning so he don't wake up his nabors

Amen Brother! Working with this younger generation it just kills me trying to read some of their paperwork. I can understand the occasional fat finger when typing but it's like they don't care.
As for being quiet, I've never heard a bike that annoyed me but maybe I'm just a little off. I guess I'd just idle out of your neighborhood.

So how does criticizing someone you know nothing about solve the problem? Seems to me that you may be more of the problem with society than he is. If you really cared about illiteracy, you'd privately reach out to him and offer help/advice instead of trying to humiliate him on a public forum. If you don't care and it just makes you feel better about yourself to take jabs at people who don't meet your standards, well then, you just may be an a-hole.

To the OP, just idle out as best you can without too much throttle.

Agreed....keep making fun of the guy who can't spell, that will teach him.
Bullying in the HD forum will certainly change things.

One should be familiar with the proper use of the word "further," as opposed to the word "farther." Otherwise, one risks being considered "part of the problem with this society."

With all this whining and bitching about grammar, I'm thinking this guy's pipes would sound pretty good right now.

You guys would argue over whether a cyanide pill would kill you, if it wasn't spelled right on the bottle.

Would that be a pill, or a capsule?
