Dude it's just a couple of spelling errors back off.
I am not trying to attack anyone, and Big52, I mean this in no way as an insult, as the majority of computer users do not find the necessity in using proper grammar and spelling in online forum posts...
However, there are literally countless punctuational problems with his post, and I'm not including grammatical syntax. Spelling can easily be overlooked so long as the word is spelled phonetically, but when you do not include whatsoever punctuation, and neglect syntax, you destroy the semantics of a language and make it incredibly difficult for people to read.
Some of you may say, "But I understood it well enough!" and that very well may be the case, but some of us ain't so bright (especially me), and if things aren't laid out in a manner in which I am accustomed to, I have a very difficult time appreciating the post: I know there are a number of other members who feel exactly the way I do, and they are frequently the ones who can and do answer these sorts of questions.
I think it is important to remember that because we are not communicating verbally, where slang is used much more frequently with all people, when we communicate through the written word we should keep in mind that a number of other members of this forum are not accustomed to literature that is presented minus certain rules, such as syntax and punctuation, and it makes it very difficult to comprehend the author's post.
So please, for the sake of us who are not as bright, do your best to separate your sentences with periods, and insert question marks when a question has been raised, and keep in mind the necessity of proper conjugation: it really does make a difference for some of us, and it makes the site appear much more professional over all. The latter, I believe, should be substantial motivation for us all, as a professional look attracts professional shooters who can only enrich our experiences with such a great hobby.
