DISQUS

East Anglian Troy · 1 year ago

Careless spelling and bad punctuation really annoy me. It just shows a lack of both attention and education. However I#39;ve never yet felt compelled to stick a fork through a person#39;s eyelids.BR/ BR/Does the Government still allow people to carry forks in public? BR/BR/Perhaps council workers now have to eat with their hands at the local council cafeteria? Health amp; Safety etc. etc. etc.

Hi, just found you via Minx, good writing!

I REALLY get pissed at bad spelling and grammar, especially when the writer is supposed to be "educated" (university, college or at least high school). The school system does not put any emphasis on writing.BR/BR/Sorry to hear about the death in the family ... we can all be mean, can't we?

Hey, I can't spell for shit, and my punctuation is pretty bad too, but I admit it, and use a spellchecker because I care to be articulate. The punctuation I usually let slide, but when I wrote my mom's obit, I had my ex girlfriend check it and asked her to jazz it up a bit, just because she does that for a living.BR/BR/That bit of drivil from the gym woman was undecipherable...BR/BR/Sorry to hear about your uncle, sounds like you do need to start writing though ;)

my pet hate..........something so badly written that it doesn't make sense.BR/BR/During my time of internet dating ?I was appalled at the number of so called professional men who could not string a sentence together. BR/BR/I doubt there will be much gossip etc to hear at my grandad's funeral next week, there really only be, me and my mum plus my two brothers and their wives. BR/BR/There might be a few knives out though.

Yes it irritates the living bejesus out of me too! I can't even stand text language - you know all the c u l8er crap.BR/BR/Re the gossip - spill! ;)

funerals and weddings are the best places for collecting material - get writing MissU!

But it's awfully mean of you NOT to! BR/Think of your readers!

Bad spelling is one thing. Modified for speed is another. BR/BR/I found out a bunch about my father at his funeral. Most of it was just plain funny. But then on Guam there is 7-9 days/nights of Rosary sayings and the last night is the wake.... and there and in the USA in general it is usually open casket funerals....

I haven't been to a proper wedding or funeral in a long time, so I am out of the circulation of gossip and family feuding, but I sure would have a heck of a good time listening in on some of it and then having a great analysis about it afterwards and I would certainly be tempted to blog about it. The thing I hate most is hypocracy and it seems to run rampant in families. I would have a really good time with that.

Minx · 1 year ago

The death penalty is probably too good for those abusers of English!BR/BR/Why are you hesitating about using the scenes from the wake? You're a writer, so write it!!

Pass the fork this way! It is a total pet peeve of mine also! Sorry to hear about your uncle. Aren't families interesting - all the gossip and drama? I have decided there is no such thing as 'normal'. Every family has the potential to be on a reality TV show!

Never mind a fork .... can I borrow a needle to stick in my eyes then perhaps my blurry vision will improve the wording of that sentence. Perhaps she was on the vino at the time? :-PBR/BR/Sorry to read about your uncle passing away. I still have all of my uncles and aunts but I'm not looking forward to the day they start to go :-(

Miss Understood · 1 year ago
