It,s Impossible

On a related but also OT point: Why do people use the comma in place of the apostrophe? I'm not trying to be critical of Dmhafmer, because I've seen many people online do it and am curious. Is that the practice in other languages? A computer thing? Simple laziness? Other?

To expand on Rel's point, I've always considered things like proper grammar, typography, etc. to be a kindness to the reader. Not following the so-called rules can often make reading more difficult and, hence, is inconsiderate. Thanks for listening.

^Hesson11 - I have always seen other forums stamp down on political correctness regarding spelling and grammar. Personally, I like people to highlight my gaffes - but I take pride in what I write and that is clearly not important to others. I do have to add, however, what on earth is the comma thing?

regarding this thread, I see little point in such constrictions. Does the OP consider that one cannot achieve synergy outside of that price bracket or that digital synergy does not exist? Synergy can be achieved at any price level and with any gear! I see the attainment of synergy as almost a dark art - part skill, part informed and part sheer luck. I have also seen many, expensively acquired rigs, made up of highly esoteric equipment, all highly respected and often critically acclaimed items, that when combined together, do anything BUT achieve synergy. It is quite clear to me, and I infer nothing regarding any user here, that even experienced audiophiles assume that the random combination of fabulous items will necessarily produce a superb end result.

DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE LATEST AND GREATEST, GO MACINTOSH

Yes , MACINTOSH, MEDIOCRE SOUND FOREVER!

@ Niacin
I agree with your thoughts regarding the OP. I was trying to say just that, but didn't expand enough on my point.

The comma thing may be a result of people who are like me, that must look at the keyboard in order to type. The notation for the apostrophe and comma are very similar. However if you look at what you have written it should be easy enough to fix. Also note that the semi-colon key is next to the apostrophe key, so it may be a mis-strike that again is not proof read.
It does convey a certain degree of lazyness and a lack of concern for the reader. On top of that it demonstrates a lack of how people will view you. A lack of pride in your work and your presention, as well as being discourteous.
-OTOH-
It may be best to be somewhat lenient and not too uptight about correct typing and grammar. These forums are not essays being submitted for evaluation or formal. publication. Forgiveness is, they say, devine!
I have been very guilty myself, I have been a terrible typist and a poor speller. I have a couple of excuses however for one I am dyslexic. I had been quite ill as well, which I think, affected my typing. It is inherently harder for people with many kinds of disability.
Let us not forget that many of our audiophile brethren are not yet fluent in English, and writing in a second language.

There is one pet peave I want an explanation for. Why do many people say that their equipment works perfect, when they should be writing perfectly. Is that really so hard come on guys.
