Erm, because you don't write in a plain easily understood way, its quite difficult to work out what on earth you're on about. If you look at your above post, if you were speaking to someone, you wouldn't say what you've typed above, (everything seems to be in a bullet point style), so why do you post like that? We dont expect perfection, but constructed sentences do go a long way, the spelling doesn't help either.

Lets put it this way if you use an online translator with your spelling and grammer, the chances are you could end up making even less sense in another language than you do in this language. The occasional typo is forgiven unless your native tongue is not english?jacksun1987 wrote:I dont know why. Everyones got a problem, With my spelling. Ill have to look in to this. Euro thing. If i do need a part. When i took my car in. They was waiting for a part. For the rev counter To connect to the fly wheel. The one from there normal place. In england. Lost it. He told me that he was getting the part. From france. And it would cost the same.
Anyways on topic
Credit Cards are what I use to get my parts from overseas, if it goes pearshaped then 99.9% of the time the transaction will be stopped at no cost to me. Actually for me it works out cheaper most of the time to order direct from overseas.

I don't give a monkeys about grammar.
I only care about correct spelling so I find the post I'm looking for later on using the search function.
It does drive me nuts that there are plenty of tools out there to help, but some stubbornly refuse to use them. (Not getting at anyone here, but I can think of some on other forums.)

And, on some web browsers (such as Google Chrome), they have a built in spell checker that whatever you type gets checked and highlighted in the usual red underline if it is incorrect. Some people are just lazy IMO.macplaxton wrote:I only care about correct spelling so I find the post I'm looking for later on using the search function.
