You are correct, of course, he is unquestionably a sick individual, probably much as you describe – bored, lonely, and immature. The grammatical errors he makes, though, are not typical of someone to whom English is not a primary language - which are usually of the reversal of subject and object. I don't think this is the case here.

Lazy? In a hurry? Well, he claims to have a life and maybe he IS in a hurry to get back to it. He does seem compelled to share his “thoughts” with us, however – if he were really in a hurry, he would probably skip the ChipBoard altogether. Or maybe he’s just in a hurry to be lazy. We can’t be sure.

I suppose that we really can’t be sure, either, that our boy is going to wind up as an unqualified failure. I just took a stab and went with it – considering the content of his posts, if not the style, I think it’s a valid projection.

Your posts, Walter, on the other hand, are always extremely well thought out and well written, if not necessarily as compact as most (if you need an editor, I’d be happy to volunteer ). You are to be commended in your scholastic efforts and that which you put for here on the board. As far as proofreading your posts, I will say only this:

To be CONSISTENT, and get your point ACROSS in a SUCCESSFUL effort to appear INTELLIGENT, you should not feel compelled to COMPARE your style to anyone else’s, because DESPITE the inclination to do so, no EXPLANATION should be necessary.
