Europe.i was mearly making a point on a digital converter if it is state of the art it should have a matching Femyo clock vs the older Picosecond clocks
In 2014,buy today's technologies not older cheaper parts. That was my only point I was trying to make.if you are that anal on grammar
Roxie you have over 700 posts. You maybe or should get out more ,stop
Judging others ,unless you are perfect .

My grammar is I lot better than I bother to use on the internet.
In any event its how well you think not how well you write on this forum.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Nonsense, efficent use of time is much wiser.

Schubert,
Your response makes no sense in the context of what I said.

To you, I imagine not.

I think it bothers some people wayyyy more than most ! Everyone has pet peaves I recon .I think some of the human spellcheckers on this site should relax .Life is too short .This is supposed to be fun! English is my first language.

Most portable devices used by many these days are slow and clunky to use for large amounts of typing. That puts a premium on being short and concise. Also on finding ways to abbreviate messages appropriately. Some may be more appropriate than others, but reality dictates the need for older norms of communication to change and adapt accordingly.

I use an Ipod and even a Windows mobile device sometimes to post. Pain in the butt compared to conventional keyboards! Some shortcuts there are more in order.

Mapman,
What you say is true, but this isn't a teen blog. On this site, there is no excuse for being so lazy.

Schubert,
Were you trying to say that proper and concise forms of expression are an inefficient waste of time? If that is what you meant, then I disagree.

Roxie, the answer to your question is 73.89%.
Now, to address some of the comments in the slowly drifting subject matter---
In 1980, my world was confined to a small fraction of the Midwest, apart from occasional attempts at deciphering Chemiche Berichte or Monatshefte fur Chemie. These days, it is rare that an hour goes by that I don't talk to or correspond in writing to someone whose native language is German, Mandarin, or French. It is not hard for me to give them a pass on idiomatic mistakes. I am somewhat less forgiving of native English speakers for their idiotic mistakes.
When I correspond with ESL communicators, It is almost universally true that their English is better than my German, and I wouldn’t even attempt any other language.
I get sloppy sometimes with my AG posts. this typically happens at 6AM when I can’t find my reading glasses and I am still half asleep. That doesn’t mean I am an idiot. Sometimes, quick and dirty is good enough. However, in general, if one wants to be taken seriously, one should take a little care in proofing one’s post. Deep insight can in fact be obscured by poor communication.
Roxy is right. There are questions asked that are so poorly articulated that I just don’t take the time required to decipher them.
