I do own a BMW and frequent some of the BMW websites. I do think that generally the BMW sites have members who are ,for the most part , younger than those of us who own Packards. That may explain the misuse of the English language found on certain but not all of these enthusiast sites. The use of proper grammar and hand writing was taught to a higher standard in the era when most members of this forum went to school. I would hazard a guess that an elementary school graduate in the 1950's would have a much better understanding of proper grammar than a college graduate of this century.
