This just needs to be said, and it
seems that the job seems to have been handed to me. You see, i
believe that words and ideas are given to people in order for them to
be shared. So, here goes!
It seems that today there has been an
influx of wannabe English teachers. The misuse of quite a few words
brings them out of the woodwork giving them the opportunity to show
the rest of the world just how smart they are. Me personally, I could
care less. I read for understanding rather than to pick apart another
persons misuse of grammatical correctness. Yes, I like trying to use
the proper forms of the words to/too/two, there/their/they're and
you're/your/yore. Hang on though folks, it's not/knot the end of the
world if the wrong form of the word bare/bear or wear/where gets used
if you can still understand the point of what is being said.
Punctuation is another sore point. If you can understand what is
being said in that two hundred and fifteen word run-on sentence, just
move on to the next statement. Capitalization, c'mon, if it's missing
does it really change the meaning of the word at the beginning of a
sentence? Does it make dover, delaware a different city for the lack
of capital letters?
It's time to grow up folks. This is the
internet, not a job application for a teaching position. If you can
understand it, quit trying to prove yourselves superior in the
belittlement of others.
