If You Could Have any Non de Plume...

What would it be?

Hopefully we can get some good responses, then save the thread for future reference. Then we'll have an idea which multiple personality forum user is today.

I'll go first

Obnoxious - house
Well traveled - phil_from_nz
Rich but dumb - edinamonsoon
Opinionated - captainmainwaring
Sexy - rocco

Disclaimer - if you were in anyway offended by this post, please pm me, when the technology catches up.

NapaMatt,

I must be out of it. Other than Rocco, I don't know any of these people.

With all the aliases on that other thread, I felt like I was at the Masquerade Ball.

Whatever you call yourself, I am just pleading for some capital letters and punctuation.

Second that. I've decided that I will not reply to any post that does not try to use proper business English. A few misspelld words are foregivable. But to just run words out without regard to punctuation or capitalization to me means a lazy writer who doesn't respect their audience.

regards - tom

For anybody who is writing in English as their second language, I am always appreciative of the extra effort that takes and I'd never be critical of the result. I don't care about perfect grammar or anything.

I agree, English as a second language is gotta be difficult. And I'm very tolerant of grammar and word meanings. But simple punctuation and capitalization is common among most (all?) modern written languages. And anyone who ignores those doesn't care about their readers.

&quot;A few misspelld words are foregivable.&quot; Ooops, should be &quot;A few mispelled words are forgiveable .&quot; ???

regards - tom (the worlds worst speller)

Fauxdors -- yes, Lynn, perfect! There are too many of these (or maybe there's only one?), and they (he?) get(s) away with too much...
