as long as someone is understood, the actual grammar and syntax is not critical
He's lying guys, don't listen to him! It's very important. Lushbob is totally correct; using 'Don and I' here is grammatically incorrect. This is important.
As for staying on-topic; we're shooting the breeze about a trade we're not personally involved with, anyway. It's kinda a non-topic beyond the first post,s o we may as well just chat if something comes up IMO.
OK, fine. But this is a casual forum, and I've seen some ATROCIOUS spelling, syntax, grammar - but in many if not most cases, I could understand the person's intent. We aren't being graded, so perfection isn't required - just a clear understanding. And I agreed that Lushbob is correct, despite what many people think is correct usage - but if someone did write "btw Don and I" I'd still know what they were talking about. If grammar was a requirement around here, at least half the active members would have been booted weeks ago! I don't claim perfection, but I do strive for it - others, not so much, but whatever.
It's better than some of the nonsense I tried wading through from a couple of other members I can think of...utterly undecipherable gibberish passed on as conversation. I'll grant that English may not have been their primary language, but at least TRY to be clear and understood in an English-speaking forum if you plan on contributing a great deal.
