[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot, I'm sure you are a fine man , a great patriot, and a staunch supporter of freedom, democracy, and small animals of all kind. However, I really don't understand the insulting of my progressive friends and fellow posters. Posting responses in an internet forum doesn't dictate a professional dissertation every time.  Most of us don't post on here thinking that our musings will be evaluated by a literary critic. I know I post just to have fun and share ideas. I don't write on here the way I would if I were writing a thesis and I think @vector#1 and others would concur. A lot of what we write is just "off the cuff" and not something we spend hours preparing.

Also, it's ironic that you would criticize a fellow poster when your political Messiah, Mr. Trump, is known to have a eighth-grade reading level.

That's just the way Hooter and TRT are if they can't defend there Dear Leader attack the spelling or writing that's all they can defend

Until you are able to write on an 8th to 10th grade level, nobody is going to take your opinions seriously. Writing below that level, which you are doing, reflects your inability to read or listen to, and understand information. Writing above a 10th grade level makes reading tedious for most people, which results in them ignoring or skimming what you write. I offer that advice as honest constructive criticism, vector, but you will almost certainly take it as an insult.

I always considered myself a good writer. I tested out of all of my English requirements in college and was always near the top of my English classes through high school. After five years of working as an engineer, the General Counsel of my new employer finally taught me how to write effective business letters and reports by marking up my drafts with red ink. An outside attorney, who was an alternate Kentucky Supreme Court justice, did the same thing. They were the two best writers with whom I ever worked. I credit those two lawyers with much of the success that I have had in my life.

My point is this: it is never too late to learn a new basic skill. Internet posts do not need to be literary masterpieces but your writing should not detract from your message.
