reloader28,
Your thread got deleted for not meeting Jr High School writing standards. Run-on sentences and not a capital latter in the whole post, just like the one you posted here. We consider posts written like text messages unsuitable for posting on TFL. We delete them on sight. This policy seems picky to some, but we try to maintain higher standards than the rest. If you need a copy of that post, I can PM it to you. |

Got it. Did not realize you could not write like a text message because I had seen some of it everywhere in these forums. I type 1 word a minute, I was trying to be helpful and save time. I am not a computer geek or a teacher and it took me an hour to type that so I wont type it again, but now I know. By the way , your spelling is wrong too. Ha

I was curious as to why none of my others were deleted?

We catch 'em as we find 'em. I edited one of yours this morning instead of deleting it, but we don't have time to do that for every post we see that needs it.
We all misspell, but we expect an effort. You are welcome to point out my misspellings. I do it as often as anyone. |

Reloader,
I'd suggest getting a typing tutor program that will help teach you how to touchtype. I taught myself to type when I was a kid using my Grandmother's old manual and a set of records from the 1950s. Best danged thing I ever did. I was a history major in college, and I was one of a relative few number of my classmates who could actually type, and we did a lot of papers. I made a LOT of money typing for my friends. I can now type between 70 and 100 words a minute, depending on my hands are feeling (arthritis). It can be a little frustrating at first, but being able to type in today's online world is a very useful skill. Even if you only get up to 25 words a minute you'll find it to be a complete and total revelation.

Thanks guy's. No offence but if I have to choose between typing classes or minding my own in the reloading room, I think I'll stay in the reloading room.

It's not asking much. I notice one place where you used "we're" for "we are". If you know how and why to do that, I suspect you can write better than we've seen. All you need to do is take the time do it. It is the only method of communication available on a chat board. There is naturally a threshold to make yourself understood if you want meaningful responses. And making yourself understood is your responsibility, not the reader. |

I didn't say take a class, I said a typing tutor program, as in computer program.
A google search turns up a LOT of viable, cheap, or even free, options. http://www.google.com/search?q=learn...ient=firefox-a
