Well Joe, The only reason I suggested MU was he said, and I quote "leaving for missori"

Hope you and you family have a good holiday. I can't wait to see your new 65. Maybe I will get the Chevelle out this weekend and drive out your way.


Rocky

Thanks Rocky. Hope you and the family have a great Holiday. The "new" 65 is out at my brothers getting stripped and painted this winter. He is a body and fender man so the price is right. When it's done, I'll run you down and we can compare notes. You didn't get to the Lake this fall, maybe you can get down in the Spring. Take care.

This is just too funny...thanks!

sxty9shovel,

Yes, it happens like that sometimes, but once you get the car going again, you know you have had more happy times than bad ones on this car!

Keep at it and good luck getting it back together.

I don't know about perfection here but the purpose of the forum is to ask questions and convey ideas /solutions via the written word.

Consider just for a minute that the ENTIRE first post in this thread is one sentence!!! It does not even start with a capital letter in the first word. Our schools just have to produce a better product ......they just have to.

In Europe most kids have excellent command of their native language AND another foreign language. Here on the forum it is often impossible to understand the problem the writer wishes to ask questions about!!!!!!

Thank the internet, instant messaging, school keyboarding (not typing anymore) and forums somewhat like this. In a "gotta have it now", "quick fix" generation.

I consider him some what of a prodigy. Not too many kids are learning how to fix cars these days. Hard to find anyone who wants to work. All behind the keyboard.

Prodigy? I think not. Even auto mechanics, excuse me Auto Technicians, need to be able to read and learn from technical manuals. In point of fact I know I could not fix most of todays computer cars without a manual. A manual which would be useless or incompreehensible if I could not understand a complex sentence. Being able to understand a complex sentence is at least in part a by-product of understanding how to connstruct a complex sentence. Pehaps we should leave complex sentences alone and concentrate on SIMPLE SENTENCES first?????

Connunication via the written word (that includes reading and writing) is FUNDAMENTAL not OPTIONAL. I don't know what you do in the Navy (BTW: Thank you for your service to the country! ) but I bet whatever job you had when you enterd the Navy was in some way based on tests you were given just after induction or schooling you had before enlistment. Somehow I don't think that the guy who wrote that 9 line "sentence" will become the next F14 Pilot or Captain of a Missle Boat. More likely he would not even be able to get into the Navy of today given all the technology and spohisticated weapons.

Some folks want to blame the schools (I did) some folks want to blame the parents, some the internet, some want to blame the students. Wherever the blame is placed this will continue until we stop, recognize the problem, highlight it and just flatout demand better. Just sweeping it under the table with lame excuses and the teaching of "keyboarding" is not going to cause any positive change of direction. If what we saw here is accepted as the norm it will BECOME the defacto norm.

It is just like the kids that can't figure out how to make change at Burger King. If ya can't make change ya shouldn't get the job. Instead we dumb it down with pictures of hamburgers or fries or whatever.

By the way help me here I think I understand the term Keyboarding but just for the record what the hell is that? When I grew up a typewriter / keyboard was a device that facilitated writing on paper. Using a keyboard was called typing. Typing was a method by which the English language was used to put thoughts and ideas together in hard copy form.

What happened?? Seems we have gotten to where composition has been replaced by babble and typing has been replace by "keyboarding" neither of which appear to have the capability to allow conveyance of a clear concise thought between two people in different locations.

I consider him some what of a prodigy. Not too many kids are learning how to fix cars these days. Hard to find anyone who wants to work. All behind the keyboard. I can tell ya as a member of this age 21 generation, I am disgusted by the massive insurge of video games, pop tart trendy and the fact that our children are complete video game aholics. The youth of this country are slowly going to rot....thanks MTV... Its sad that bright intelligent young adults are getting harder and harder to find; Im amazed that American has a chance at a future given the nature of our youth today. Seemingly no values any more to speak of AT ALL.

I can tell you right now that I refuse to let my child become that way, and I refuse to let them learn ebonix; for God's sake the english language was NEVER meant to be 100% slang and butchered like it is today.
