Maybe a 1st grade english test being passed should become a requirement for membership. Its scary to think how many would fail though.

I love it when people use an excuse like that. "It's only the internet...". Like there is a switch in your brain that toggles between stupid and intelligent communication depending on the venue you are on.

It will only get worse as the average age of Z owners continues to drop. We got the one on this thread that can't figure out the words "to", "too", and "two" and I just read another one where the guy can't figure out "no" and "know".

What does my disdain for the poor grammar and unintelligent speaking of many(not all) of the younger people here have to do with how many hours I worked last month?

I'm not baller like you. Your the movie cinema guy right?

Anyway, even if I could afford a Ferrari, at least I would be able to say that I worked for it and didn't get it from my parents.

I agree with 1GR8350Z. How is it that kids who don't yet know when to use the word know vs. the word no can afford a 350z? I've always had to work for everything I've wanted. There are too many kids out there who are used to having everything handed to them. Never once was it said he hated the Z community.

While I don't think it applies to EVERYONE, I have noticed a spelling/grammar discrepancy between people who grew up without computers and people who grew up in front of one.

When I was a kid, we didn't have a computer. I played an Atari for crap's sake. But all these kids who grew up thinking the modern age began with YouTube seem to have the English skills of the lesser-evolved simians.

A pencil and paper is probably some form of joke nowadays, yes? I wonder how many of these kids can even write their name in cursive....

Your life is nothing more than an illusion that your parents have created for you. If they are already making you pay for part of you car then obviously they are attempting to teach you SOME responsibility. As you get older they will do less and less for you and eventually will expect you to do for yourself. I would really be working hard in remedial english to insure you will have a better job than the movie theater when that happens. I seriously doubt your parent are filthy rich. I'm sure they make a very comfortable living, but they won't spoil you forever.
