Many of my spelling and grammar issues are caused by the very small iPhone keyboard.

So it's the iPhone, huh? That's "... entirely tangible."

:ah:



Should you get to looking up the function of the "edit" tab, also do a search for "accepting-responsibility-for-your-actions-rather-than-assigning-blame". That's probably a better "marketing" (and life) lesson than whatever comes of your marketing "project".

Oh, hi! You must be new. Nice to meet you.

My most recent favorite from Jake:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/52769-need-opinions-summer-project.html

Although, I have to admit, I'm very curious about the "Retirees with a larger income will be attracted to visit the track while on tour." I'd like to be a retiree with a larger income. How do I do that?

No, I saw them. I was giving him/her a "brake" since I ain't familiar with s/he. Besides, Alfie capitablized and properly used "c'mon". That's trying a little too hard.

TRACTOR!

Touche', cfos, well said. In all honesty, BIGJake will be much better served by heeding the well intended advice being given. Making a concerted effort to improve his spelling and grammatical acumen will take him a lot farther than his Boxster ever will. Having spent almost forty years in the corporate world, including numerous years in Management, I can speak from experience in saying that his ability, or inability to properly compose his thoughts in writing may one day dictate how successful he may be in achieving his career aspirations. This is especially true if his position requires him to communicate in writing with clients, prospects and / or the general public. Improperly written communications will almost certainly erode BIGJake's credibility both internally and externally with his employers and clientele.

Really? This forum isn't a job interview. Give Dude a break. No biggie. For reference....I've been in IT Mgt for 23 years. Hired and fired more than I can remember. Relax. You're all good BJ111.
