I think this one speaks for itself.

i posted a number for abit of a laugh for people but guy's like yourself take the fun out of it.
Don't even get me started on the "yourself".I work with a number of Police officers and I feel that many of the problems such as the one pointed out above are a result of people wanting desperately to appear more intelligent that they are. When faced with court for example many would write in a way they're not natural with and I've found this practice is now well established in business too.
'I alighted from my Police vehicle' is a favourite when in reality they're alighting nothing. They are however getting out of something.
'The offenders had a verbal altercation' is a tautology which crops up often with officers and incenses me.
I'm not a stickler for grammar, in fact mine is so poor I find myself checking everything I write frequently just because I like to show I care. My problem lies with the people who seem so insecure that they must pretend they're more intelligent and use reflexive pronouns in the wrong context, writing full of pleonasm and tautology and still don't explain what they're trying to say where if it was written how they would normally speak it would make perfect sense.
Audi Germany originally assigned a maximum of 50 RS6-Plus's to the entire Audi UK dealership network - part of a limited run of just 500 RS6-Plus's worldwide - though the rate of orders placed apparently meant only around 35 RS6-Plus's were ultimately available in the production run for the UK

Number 1 priority at the moment for Lotus is to sell the Evora,
I know this for a fact otherwise they won't be building anything new as they won't have the money, I've driven all Evora variant's thus far and they are cracking!
The initial price point, build quality killed it before it had even started but the engineer's have been moving mountain's to rectify this. I've heard that there are even German's up at the factory
There are Dozen's and I mean Dozen's of Evora's registered up at the factory so once those start flowing onto the market should be ample choice for everyone to choose from, it's my opinion that the Exige V6 will be sold soon and I also believe Danny Boy is starting to listen to us lot who will actually buy this things

I stand to be corrected, but while it may not be 'correct', I don't think it's wrong either, IYSWIM?Maybe it would be better rewritten altogether?
