Like I said, just take your time, and try to write as clearly as possible, Seriously, punctuation really helps people understand what you're saying. Use periods at the ends of sentences and capitalize the first word of a sentence. Just those two grammar rules alone would really improve your posts! Smile [:)]

Teeheehee, I just couldn't help it, honestly I couldn't. Tongue [:P]



Heh heh! Big Smile [:D]
Well, I have tought a fair bit of English during my twelve years here in Japan!

As RemcoGrob pointed out, there are plenty of folks here at FSM who do not speak English as their first language, so every little bit helps towards facilitating smooth communication. Caps and periods do indeed go a long way!
As someone who spends the majority of his day communicating in his second language (Japanese), I can tell you from experience that every little bit indeed helps!! Smile [:)]

However, I do agree, correct punctuation is a very important aspect of writing. Disconnected sentence fragments just make it really difficult to get your meaning accross.

Now DURR, please don't take it that way, and please continue posting!

Hi DURR,

A reason why it nice to use the correct grammar and punctuation is because not all the FSM members are native English speakers. I myself am one of those.
I always find it difficult to understand posts which do not use punctuation and proper capitels. Abreviations (like u for you) are also difficult to follow.
So if you want to reach all the FSM members, please use proper English.
Thank you and keep on posting!

But please don't refer to other languages as "gibberish," OK? It's just not nice!

Keep on posting, man! You can learn about a lot more things than just models here.

Of course you could always do a little research & determine the actual colors used on the real subject you're trying to model. Most kit painting instructions are suspect, even if written in clear English.

Tell you what, DURR, if you can scan and post a copy of what your talking about, I can translate that "gibberish" for you. It's called Japanese, by the way. Not "gibberish."

And to be perfectly honest, I can understand Japanese a whole heck of a lot better than most of the things you post. Please think about what you want to say and try to write in a clear, concise manner. Try punctuating your sentences, too. You'll get a lot more help that way! Wink [;)]
