Ramblings of a Crowe

Learn to love proper spelling and grammar

I'm hardly a grammar or spelling Nazi. Especially on this blog. I'm aware some of my spelling is off and my grammar is wonky. However, I'm fairly certain my sentences are coherent enough for normal cognition.

So, when I say bad spelling and grammar really bugs the hell out of me, I'm being a hypocrite. I really have no excuse, except I cannot stand to read paragraphs or sentences that are strung together so poorly I can't make heads or tail of what's being said. I can't stand it when people don't capitalize the ' I ' (e.e. cummings you are not). I hate it when simple words are spelled wrong--and I'm not talking about a mere typo. I'm talking about every other word has some bizarre spelling that makes no sense in any version of the English language.

AND--does anyone believe in proof reading anymore? I mean, re-reading what you've written so you're fairly sure you haven't made yourself look too stupid? Because honestly, if you want me to take you seriously, please write so I can comprehend what you're trying to say. The way I look at it, if you're unconcerned about how sloppily you present your point, obviously it wasn't that important to you to begin with.

If you can't do any of these things, please don't bother posting on this blog. I'll just delete your comment. Now that everyone has been warned, please let the smart-asses that linger here leave me badly spelled, mangled comments. I'm waiting (you guys know who you are LOL).

Thank you.
