No need to apologise, just saying that a few full-stops etc may make your post more easy to read.

I was a bit confused myself, but look at the 'window cleaner rants and raves' thread.
Don't think any offence was meant, but it was kind of difficult to read as one sentence.

actually this constant complaint about grammar is pathetic

the guy was obviously typing like he was talking to someone
i dont normally add commas fullstop in my sentences while i am
speaking.

if its too much effort to read dont bother.

I disagree.

It's really not difficult to add a few commas and full stops where necessary.

I'm far from being a grammar Nazi but typing a full conversation, as one line, without punctuation is always going to bring the grammar police out.

How much extra time and effort does it take to put in a comma or full stop where necessary?.
You do add comma's and full stops when speaking, but seeing as how the words are coming out of your mouth, you don't actually need to say 'comma', or 'full stop', that is what the gaps in your speech are for.

there are plenty out in the world who dont pause for breath never
mind leaving gaps :)

if all you have to complain about is a few commas fullstops  you are
not doing too badly are you

no problem with bad grammar myself, but why a new post, just reply on the original one, so we know what the f ook you are talking about, if I can be bothered to read it.

Glad you have 7 vans though, can I borrow one?

Yes, you're right; it was a spelling mistake. 
I usually use spell cheque but didn't on that occasion.

The Oxford dictionary defines perfect English as - the usage which is prevalent at that period in time.  Therefore grammar, punctuation and current spelling will go out the window soon as the world converts to txt spk. So getting too hung up on English in its perfect form is , quite frankly, pointless ! IMHO..
