Can you please edit your posts so that they do not appear a random collection of long words.
I know you are trying to make it appear that you are clever but it is giving the opposite impression and reading your posts makes my eyes bleed!
Wow, you certainly changed your writing style in a radical manner!

I will take that as positive feedback.
I am working on my writing skills at the moment as I did not receive much of an education when I was younger.I had to put food on the table for my mum and five siblings from a very early age and regarded school as not relevant to this process.
However, I now run a fairly succesful business and need to get on top of the paperwork side of things and my adult literacy tutor encourages me to post on chat sites.
My PA does however assist by proofing my posts.
However, I have been around long enough to be cautious of people who use long words, for the sake of it, as they are generally:
-trying to conceal the fact that they do not know what they are talking about
-lack self confidence: or
-they are trying to use their education to pull a fast one.
I have been saved a lot of grief over the years by not signing a any contract I do not understand.
Just because people have difficulty reading and writing does not make them thick !
