I am not taking any sides either but, I tend to agree with him. I bite my tongue all the time... it isn't so much typos that bother me, as I am guilty of it myself when it comes to quick responses on the forums, it is the misuse of words and conjunctions that irk me for some reason... and I personally know people who are bothered by it far more than I... so I tend to believe this guy.
Good Morning,
Before another thread is started I feel I must respond to this. Prior to posting on Sirius Buzz, for several months I continued to lurk.
I hesitated to begin posting because of exactly what we are addressing
now, language skills.
I am amazed by the wealth of knowledge that can be found here.
When I am reading I am not focusing on misspelled words or missing commas,
I am focusing on the content. And with myself, I feel comfortable enough to interject my thoughts without fear of being ridiculed or judged. I did not realize I was being graded on spelling errors and the misuse of a comma.
With the post count being so low, I am surprised this is even a topic of discussion. It seems to me people should be encouraged to post, not to be
hesitant because of spelling or language skills.
This took me twice the time I usually spend composing a response to a post.
Only because I was carefully checking my spelling and my wording. What a
shame, I could have been adding several more to my post count by not being
so cautious.
Don't discourage others from posting because of YOUR, (not you're) issues.
Julie
