Re: Just a thought



I know what Cory means and I can sympathize.  Every time I write more than note I remember my high school English teacher.   She was the only English teacher that ever really cared about us kids actually learning the English language.  I personally do not like all the rules and grammar and spelling that our rich language has.  Before computers when it was done on a typewriter or by hand written letters my life was hell.  It took me 25 years to learn what she was tyring to teach us, but I never forgot her and think of her often when I write. 
 
Not everybody is tech savvy.  Not everybody types with all their fingers on the home row.  Some hunt and peck, I'm sure somebody types with one hand because that's all they have.  Sometimes when I reply to a message I've spoken to my phone, it types what I say, and boy does it get it wrong.  I've hit send like that once in a while when doing that, whops! 
 
It can be hard to read what people write from time to time.  But I kind of look at it like this.  I worked in a call center before, talked with thousands of different people from all over the world.  Accents, poor people, rich ones, snobs, angry, happy, having sex wile talking with me (that was annoying)  and I learned to accept that not everybody was as lucky as me to have a teacher care as much about English as I did.  Some are not from here and English is a second language to them so it's even harder.  Sure it makes it hard for us to read things from time to time.  But we really don't know who's on the other end of our E-Mail.  We just have to try to understand not everybody has our skills when it comes to this. 
 
If most of us will take just take the extra minute to read what we have written we will see most f the errors and fix them so it's easy for everybody.  Assuming we see them.  :)
