NASTY COMMENTS...

Well said Geezer, well said.

 

There are a great number of scholars on TB, from AP high school students, Ivy Leaguers, as well as doctors and lawyers. There's also many who don't hold specialized degress who are still smart as all get out. For centuries, we've found that proper grammar and spelling is the constant to be used in order to exchange ideas in the most clear and concise way.

When in Rome, as they say

 

Dont forget Preist and Religous

 

I noticed that those run-on sentences were quite difficult to read, but I see your point.

 

I think your complete lack of paragraphing has shown the opposite of what you intended.

Blocks of text are so hard to read on screen.

 

While I can speak very, very eloquently, (I would say my vocab's much larger than the average person) I really don't bother to at TB. I'm a perfectionist and I don't feel like spending an hour perfecting a post I made about GHS strings vs. Dean Markley's.

On the other hand, I can understand where some people are coming from. It is very difficult to read wen ppl tri 2 tiep liek dis. It does make things easier when people at least put their thoughts into something cohearant.

Also, I'm a trained typist (as probaly a lot of people here, are) so I do take it for granted that what takes me 2 minutes to type might take other people 12 minutes. If you don't know how to properly type, hitting the shift, or return buttons can be even more time consuming.

Just some thoughts very everyone.

 

ziiiiinng!

 

Does this even make sense?

If you were a perfectionist, then you WOULD want to spend an hour.

or are you trying to say, that for the most part, you are a a ferpectionist but on the internet you are much more slack about things?


Also, aren't trained typists trained to never make a mistake?

 

ferpectionist...LOL

 

If good spelling and punctuation were really important, and as he is a perfectionist, he would spend an hour perfecting his posts. Geddit?

 

Wow, didn't know my post would create a philosophical discussion.

What I mean, is when I do some kind of formal presentation, be it playing music, writing a report, giving a speech, ect. I go over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything's grammtically correct, not cliche, expressed eloquently, ect. But here at TB, if I'm just talking about something simple, I really don't feel like being a perfectionist about things just to express mudane stuff, like strings. I really don't think anyone pays that close of attention to my posts that it would really matter if I said "Sable" instead of "Black".

 

Funny, I think you just hit on the reason people are sticklers for proper spelling, punctuation, and coherency.

 

That's a good post.

 

It used to bother me when people mistyped or had bad puncuation, etc. but latley I just don't read those posts.

For instance, Geezer, I didn't read your whole post because it seems like one long run on sentance. All of your replys/posts are like that & honestly, it strains my eyes & gives me a headache, so I usually don't bother.

 

I think that green is my new favorite color.
