Sigh.......................... 
I'm glad for those who are in awesome shape ... really I am..
IRT .. you are to be commended, and thank you for your military service that gave you that dedication.
however, don't assume that all big guys lack motivation, are bad examples, slovenly, bad businessmen, or like the buffet...
That ain't right...

{I once} Had my English teacher back in high school tell me that people who correct such things outside of English class {comma} or as an editor for a writer {comma} are usually those who have to have thing{s} right because they are afraid they will miss the meaning of the written word and be thought foolish {comma} whether {it be-strike} because of a comprehension issue on there {their} part or simply low self esteem.
I've never met a Grammar Nazi who corrected other people's grammar out of fear that they will be thought foolish for any reason, much less for a lack of reading comprehension or low self esteem issues. Grammar Nazi's could care less what people think of them.
A few who attack someone over punctuation, spelling and grammar do so out of low self esteem, where they try and make themselves feel better by belittling someone else. But, most people on forums who mention grammar and punctuation do so for one reason and one reason only: to encourage others to make the postings readable. There are many posts on many forums that are all but unintelligible, and very few who try to read them feel foolish for not being able to decipher the mind of the author in order to comprehend what they are reading.
So, giving the benefit of the doubt that he did actually make the statement some 35 years ago, it would seem the paraphrased quote from your high school English teacher was placed here in this thread solely to make those who correct grammar and punctuation feel bad or guilty for doing so.
That's an example of irony.
Fact is, no one here runs around in fine Grammar Nazi fashion correcting other people's mistakes. The only thing the Grammar Nazi's here ask is that if you are going to post something, and you want your thoughts and ideas to be communicated to others, then construct the posts with merely the basics of language communication, the most common being capital letters at the beginning of sentences, a single period at the ends of sentences, and once in a while a couple of carriage returns to start a new paragraph.
U shld also lern th dif btwen a Web 4um and a fon txt msg.
Typos and misspellings are fine, as are breath commas and whatever other grammatically incorrect punctuations might be required to make the post readable and comprehensible.

The above sentence makes proper use of a capital letter to begin the sentence and a question mark to end the sentence. Yet it is udder nonsense.
Hasn't that truck stop been razed yet?
I like the Grammar Nazi insignia. If you have some extra time today maybe you could design a Grammar Nazi uniform for your cheerleader. Complete with a postage stamp size piece of facial hair on the upper lip area.

Its always about I'm smarter that you,what in idiot they cant even spell!
otherwise why do it? So it exactly about what other think.
Obviously not so much the case we all understand which there is being used with out a visual clue,and most people place way more puses in spoke word then sentences, so punctuation is not really needed.granted super long run ons are a pain to read at times
more a taste of there own medicine but yea exactly,there is no point to correcting others English it boarders on rude or snobbish behavior
i dont usually come out on a post this rapantly, but here goes. it took all of three to four posts on the original topic for it to stray so far that it has become absolutly useless. i have been a member for quite awhile and dont post as much as others, i lurk and read and take alot in. this type of stuff is happening more regular than ever. this site and the posts contained within are supposed to help others. when this happens and becomes a pi!!ing contest it does not do anyone any good. only one post wanting or asking for more info, so from here forward lets police ourselves and be more useful and on topic. as far as the post at hand, i have big enough !!!! to post the name. it is one that was parodied in the post {bankrupt} when that poster said to R un J ust R un away from this company. if that does not give enough info to read between the lines the carrier we are all dying to know the name of is R J R Transport. any ? now. bring'em on.

actually i believe the op said in another thread that is was a different company than what you just posted and that is one reason they don't like for people to name, names somebody always screws up the real info the innocents get hurt.
It's not about, "I'm smarter than you," at least not in this forum and in this context. It is solely about wanting the postings to be readable and intelligible so that the readers can understand what the heck the poster is trying to say.
The whole purpose of posting a thought is to convey that thought to the readers. If it's incomprehensible, a failure to communicate has occurred. If it's a failure of basic grammar, syntax and punctuation, then it's not a case of being smart or dumb, since clearly they know how to type on a keyboard. A failure of capitals, periods, commas and paragraphs is not stupid, it is a case of being too dаmned lazy to present the thoughts in a manner in which they can be understood.
Just a suggestion.
It's no more rude than it is to post stuff that people can't comprehend, and it's not nearly as snobbish as getting mad at others because they cannot read what you wrote.

no, if you look at the last or next to last page in the post {bankrupt} the reference to the phrase R un J ust R un is made. the original poster is posting about a different carrier and not having freight but the carrier in question is mentioned. we strayed again, stay on topic or post your gripes and other disgusts in a new topic. come on ya'all.

The thread starter refers to RJR, he didn't want to say it.

I find more often than not, that how one writes and conveys their thoughts usually mirrors the type of work they actually do.
Not because someone misses a period, but how consistent they do it. Of course, we all know some do it intentionally or for attention.
I believe that is why many companies now require a psychological writing and aptitude test prior to placement.
