Default yeah really

I have to agree with fastjoe..excuse your ignorance and rudeness, jerks- it just goes to show how much people stereotype bikers!? I have been riding on Harleys since age 2, and not only can I spell methylchloroisothiazolinone (WITHOUT SPELLCHECK, THANKS!?), but I also happen to have a BASEET (for those of you who don't know, that is a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electronics Engineering Technology) degree... and all that doesn't matter- it's the thought and the sentiment behind the action of the letter that are of importance-and the fact that they took a moment of their time to show a bit of kindness in a world full of people like you-who have to tear others down to build themselves up!? I'm not above or below anyone, and neither are you- we are ALL HUMAN AND NOBODY IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE! SO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND QUIT LOOKING DOWN YOUR NOSE AT PEOPLE!!

Perfect grammar and spelling is not always an indication of real intelligence. Now go ahead and pick out all my spelling errors if you have nothing better to do.

Nice letter. I think Brother Speed is a support club for the Black Widows.

Thanks for clearing that up - all my life I thought a BASEET was one of those stubby *** dogs with sad eyes and long ears...

No, that's a BASSET - dragoness' post referred to a BofASinEET (go back and read it) . . . . whatever that is!?!


Hope this helps,
John

I agree, and also understand that no one here cares about the dumbing down of America. Damn shame.

Hey Dragon!

Very weird post for your first post!! How did you happen to come across this thread as your first to post to?

None the less, EEs are generally not known for their spelling. In fact, real engineers are known for "engineereze"...that's the making up of words to fit the need. I happen to have a BSEE, BSCS, and an MSCS, and can spell well, but don't find a need to brag about it in the context of spelling. As well, I have known people with dual PhDs that couldn't spell for crap...but were brilliant. So, yeah...people should lighten up. But, still it's fun to pick on people.
