We know which person you are resonding to. OK, now where is the condescending smiley?

I've found that inevitably, on a board that gets as much traffic as this one, if I don't quote the person, someone else will post a reply before I get done typing. Then you end up with a thread that goes like this:

(Thread starter): I got a new bike last week.

(Quick reply): Bikes are for losers, I hate bikes.

(Me trying to reply without quoting first post): Me too!

My pet peeve is people who use improper grammar when speaking. For example, when you and another person are going somewhere or have done something, you should day "She and I..." or "He and I....". Of course, just saying "We...." is good too. You do NOT say "Her and me..." or "Him and I...." Jeezus I hate that.

Ya, I don't have too many posts on this forum but I've been to many other forums where people do the same thing so I'm entitled to have a peeve with very few posts, thank you very much. Just sharing a thought.

And Drew, my dial-up sucks, but I'm on here half the time at work----high speed.
