I honestly feel like this is a gag post made by someone who just made an account to screw with people.

If you want help then speak English. Also if you cared so much, you'd use the search feature and realise that your questions have been asked and answered numerous times throughout this forum.

Considering you can't write properly, I'm guessing you'll be ineligible most of the time due to bad grades. So if you want to be able to pole vault at all, then go home and study. Then once you're passing your classes and can communicate clearly, maybe people on here will understand you and help you out.

OK guys, lay off the attacks on grammar.

Polevaultforlife it would help if you posted video of your vaults.

Hahaha, no it absolutely is not. It's called gibberish. You're the one who came onto the forum asking questions that could have been answered if you just looked through the threads for about 90 seconds. Maybe we just don't like answering the same questions over and over again.

It's not called short hand, it's called being lazy. Failing to use capitalization, punctuation, and some attempt at proper grammar means that people can't understand the questions you are trying to ask, and are less likely to respond. Learning how to communicate effectively is a life skill that is going to help you far beyond pole vaulting.

I'm a member of two forums; PVP and an antique vehicle forum.

The members of this forum are largely educated and with few exceptions they communicate using proper grammar and punctuation.

However, the vehicle forum is populated largely by high school drop outs or those that think poor grammar is cute. Typically they go out of their way to sound illiterate which makes reading their comments difficult.

I am grateful that PVP members try to write and punctuate correctly. Just try harder to break long paragraphs into shorter ones that are easier to read.

Very true. :yes: :yes:

There is a clear distinction between IMs and PMs (any text messages to a single person).

Speed of communication is more important there, and it slows down the spontaneity of what you're trying to say if you must fix typos or use proper grammar or if you can't abbreviate any words. The person on the receiving end of your text message may be waiting impatiently for your reply.

Posting on PVP is not the same as texting. When you post, you have time to proof-read and fix your typos - heck, they're even underlined in red for you on PVP! All you need to do to fix them is right-click and select the right spelling!

I know some posts are made on smart phones, and it's not as easy there, but if you have a full keyboard and you don't fix your typos, then shame on you!
