Old Teacher: Usually this topic is a forbidden subject on tractor forums. However, you did put it quite nicely, thus it will probably fly. I'd shy right away from being critical on this matter. Spelling and typo mistakes I can live with. We should be more vigulent with our grammar, as sometimes it conveys the exact opposite to what was intended. I know many times I've typed messages, proof read it and decided, this doesn't say what I intended. Many times I've had to rework my phrases, punctuation, etc. I'll be the first to say even with that, I've missed a few. I have been on here for 5 years, I have watched many of the regulars improve their writing skills greatly. In fact I would suggest all the regulars that have remained active at YT in my time have improved greatly. So Mr Teacher, it is working, maybe just a bit better than the system we all went through many years ago. Some guys just don't give a damn, and usually don't hang around for long, and are not very prolific when here. I remember a little test I regularly performed on prospective young lads wanting a summer job on the farm. I would always manage to find myself under a machine, and always, would ask young lad to pass me a 7/16 wrench. I would watch to see how many he picked up before the 7/16. Now if he picked the 7/8 or 3/4 first, I knew right away his math and physics classes had failed to give him functional knowledge. Mr. Teacher, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
