told by basement contractor i need 1 b4 damp basement walls r painted...what is best size 4 "half" basement? ive seen 30, 45 and

60 pt..mostlt LG...any advice? sherry

[ransley]

You make no logic, 1b4 r means nothing as does your post. A good digital unit reading 50-55% is OK especialy in winter. Get a different tech, one with at least a 4th degree in math, who can add and subtract.

Oh its Sherry the TROLL, I should have looked first..........................

Don't buy a Kenmore. They are crap. I replaced mine with a Whirlpool that has been reliable so far. Consumer Reports recommends buying the biggest size.... usually 70 pints... and turning it down if necessary.

My advice is to write in English.

Look for a Whirlpool at Lowes. Stay away from LG. The LG may be the same as the unreliable Kenmore.

The Whirlpool is the only one that still has a 5 year warranty on the sealed refrigeration part of the dehumidifier.

If you cannot sit, possibly you should try standing up while you type.

Your posts verge on the nonsensical. It is unreasonable for you to expect people to read that garbage, whatever disability you claim to have.

I read it just fine. If you don't have the patience or compassion, don't bother trying.

No problem reading it here either. If you can't understand what someone is typing, then don't reply.

[ransley]

So go to Sears or wherever and ask them, you dont say how humid or basement temp or probably even know how tight it is, anything will help BTW. Oh Troll, is it a 1,000,000 sq ft basement or 200 sq ft, id say troll, or not so so.

She's, like, uh, you know, talking teenager, you know, and she went "like" and uses letters in place of words, you know.

[Stormin Mormon]

If she's in United States of America, she should not write English. We don't speak English, here. If you don't believe that, try going to England and hear what English is. We don't speak English in USA.

Find a Shears clerk who is at most 13 years old? Unlikely.

1 b4 =3D one before im also standng disabled..in fact my standing is more limted than sitting. id like 2 know what all u criticizers would do if u needed 2 type while on ur side... i thought ppl were meanest when driving -- angels then compared 2 anonymity online!!! true colors -- i love it!!!! :/ sherry

[sherry]

r =3D are

1 =3D one b4 =3D before x =3D times

basically phoenetic reading, plus accepted abbreviations

[mm]

I don't want phonetic reading when English spelling is a lot easier to read.

Accepted by whom?

[Dave Martindale]

Those are accepted for cellphone text messaging, because they save time and characters while sending. Sending text from a cellphone keyboard is just plain difficult, so making that task easier (even though it makes reading harder) seems reasonable.

On the other hand, messages on Usenet are usually typed on a full keyboard, where it is not difficult to spell words with all their characters. Also, there may be hundreds or thousands of people reading what one person writes.

Essentially, by using these abbreviations in writing, you're saying that you think saving *you* a little time in writing is a good tradeoff even if it wastes time for hundreds of readers. In other words, you don't care about the readers.

Fine, if that's what you want - but don't expect readers to be as inclined to help you if it takes them extra work just to read your messages.

Well put! A better answer than mine.
