I don't know what the OP is complaining about, everyone here is pretty smart and they're willing to post ask questions and stuff the run on sentences lack of punctuation or the use of paragraphs doesn't bother me either I mean if you can read what the heck do you need sentences paragraphs or punctuation for they're like overkill and stuff on a brighter note my to do list is shrinking although I'm frightened by the prospect op putting in new shocks this is a great board don't ruin it by having all kinds of rules & stuff I mean Paris Hilton is in jail who's taking care of her little dog that's the important stuff.

Breath!

Blame it on my 11th grade old maid english teacher, Mrs Forney! No one liked her, but she taught me, at least, more than all the rest of them combined.

No more than the rest of us.

With over 6 million words in the English language, most having more than one meaning, it is unlikely that anyone will never make a faux pas. A good read, IMHO, is The Mother Tongue, English & How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson, published by Avon Books.

I still have my copy of Walsh's Plain English Handbook from my eighth grade English class. I don't think schools have used it in awhile.

I don't think schools even use Strunk & White anymore.

Another fairly entertaining one is Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, by Lynne Truss.
