How come? Seems like you can tow what you can tow.

No small diesel pickups.

Your opinion is just that and not a fact. Even if you have 3000 TBN posts.

You Seem Like A Jerk If You End Your Texts With A Period

This relates to one of my grievances, people who try to use texting for personal/emotional communication. It is so easy to misinterpret a text, and it's so easy to lie via text. I think it's more appropriate for very casual communication in a well-established relationship.

My texts have proper punctuation. Deal with it! ;-)

Festivus (December 23) is over a week away, but it may take some time for TBN members to enumerate their grievances. I will begin. 1. The English language continues to be subject to criminal abuse on TBN. Spelling and punctuation errors, homophone abuse, noun and verb confusion (advice versus advise, effect versus affect, etc.), and flouting of the rules of subject and verb agreement are examples of this abuse. The abuse is so rampant that the Grammar Police have declared TBN unsafe for patrol. 2. Too many TBN members are slackers when it comes to copying and pasting passages with special characters. For example, can be edited by a conscientious poster to read 3. Some TBN members pose questions, but then fail to supply information that is needed to provide answers. To illustrate, we are approaching the second anniversary of this query from sparc. Steve

My grievance is people overly concerned about proper English on a **** tractor forum. Happy Holidays! (0:

People driving up a slight slope on an interstate and can't maintain their speed.

After reading that article my biggest grievance is the failure of the public education system in the USA.

Yes, and school buses taking kids home at 1:30PM. Also school districts with every Friday as a half day. What are we getting for half our local taxes?

People ask a question on the forum. They get several answers, sometimes different, then never report what worked.

We want to know who was right!
