You're out of line. The comments you made regarding the OP country of origin and his ability to spell where simply outrageous.
Asking for a sample of your work validates your participation in a photographers forum as opposed to a troll who can't seem to handle spelling. Yes, please, do not respond. You put that out there as if I will miss you. You think to much of yourself. I can assure you I will not - lololololo
Thanks!

In a public forum, people are not writing for the Wall Street Journal or McGraw-Hill . If you are looking for correct grammar and spelling here, you definitely not ready for social media and should look elsewhere. And if you think grammar and spelling has anything to do with IQ, think again, some of the best can't spell from Einstein to Hemingway and I can list 100 or more that would surprise you I am sure. The only reason you mention it is to belittle and to draw away from a point of view for which you lack the capacity to debate. Isn't that the truth geezer7? Love your name, it is like sooo appropriate.

Oops! I stand corrected. I must have been thing of the gerund when I typed "your" but changed my mind on the usage of the verb later and forgot to correct what you identified. My bad!As a self-acknowledged spelling expert, one would hope you knew the difference between your and you're!
By the way, where and when did I identify myself as a spelling expert? I don't remember writing that. Probably because I know I'm not one. Of course, if you refuse to read all that is written by an individual in a thread, take statements out of context, and selectively spin what is written by another to your liking, what does that make you? A self-acknowledged propaganda expert? :lol:
HAGE!

Hey, I though you were no longer going to respond to this thread? Looks like honesty and integrity are not your strong suits as well.
There was no selective spin. Attacking one's spelling in an open public forum and then asking what country are you from, I think your intent was quite transparent.
Now please, you said you were going away... just go. I can't figure out why you are here at all. How about posting a few images or your spelling B awards which you must have, since you are unable to post any photographs.
BTW, the OP spelled Lens as lense. Did you not understand what he was saying? Too difficult?
It never ceases to amaze me how prosaic, pedestrian, unimaginative people can persistently pontificate about classical grammatical structure as though it's fucking rocket science. These must be the same people who hate Picasso, because he couldn't keep the paint inside the lines and the colors never matched the numbers. ― Abbe Diaz
Perhaps you and geezer7 should have a time out? Enjoy ...

I just dropped my new Canon EOS70D on it's nose. I think I probably need to buy a new lense, although the polarizer took the brunt of the fall. I ned advice about what lense to buy to replace the 18-135 kit lense that was on the camera at the time of my mindlessness. I have a 100mm Macro and a 70-200mm zoom. My goal is to replace the 18-135 with a higher quality lense. Ideas for me to round out my lense portfolio?

I never post here, either. I spent 33 years in the industry, teaching pros for the last 7 of that career. I don't post, due to this, and many other sites', Terms of Service, and because I've been ripped off one too many times by copyright violators. Don't feel like you have to justify your cred by posting.

Sorry Burk, but yea, you do!! But only if you want creds. And yes, every non-poster sings that same exact song!!
There are plenty of guys that can recite every rule, every play, every player and every stat in baseball...., and a ball player it does not make them. That does not make their info any less valuable, it just does not make them a ball player!!! SORRY ;-)
