Which is nothing short of an indictment of the state of education in this country. And the "I don't feel the need to practice proper grammar, syntax, spelling, etc. on a message board" shtick is weak. People who practice proper English as a habit don't lapse completely into unformatted gibberish just simply becuase the context is relaxed. They maintain at least a semblance of legible communication. I'd sooner use having Parkinson's disease as an excuse for what you post. Anyone with a master's degree in anything should know the importance of effective communication. People aren't as likely to read, much less take seriously what you have to say when it appears that you simply bashed your head into your keyboard repeatedly and then hit "submit". No one here composes their posts like they are writing a dissertation and we all make mistakes. But your posts are actually painful to read. This is my favorite. That's actually one of the few correct sentences NC has written on NSBB. It's only incorrect when taken out of context, as you've done here.
