Bond, James Bond: English for beginners...

Dear Cats (presumably that's your name?),

as you are addressing us as gentlemen, may be a few hints from a real gentleman?

First, a real gentleman uses a proper salutation in written communication. I believe words like "Hi", "Moin" and "Tach auch" are deemed appropriate in this forum.

Second, a real gentleman does not write in all capital letters:

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME!!!

This is considered as shouting and therefore vulgar. A real gentleman persuades by the power of his well selected words and refined sentences.

Third, a real gentleman knows his grammar: "All your base _are_ belong to us"? No further comment necessary...

Thank you very much for you attention, I understand this is also documented in the so called Forum-FAQ. If you require some private lessons please don't hesitate to contact my old friend Mrs Moneypenny.

With best regards,
James Bond, Esq
