Welcome to Free Republic. Your article makes some excellent points and is well thought out. There are some things that you ought to consider.

To whom are you addressing this article. You write as if it is a response to something. What? You don't give us, the readers, a complete understanding of your topic. A review of Harry Potter is acceptable but you seem to lump us all in a boat condemning Harry Potter. Not all of us do. I have read many of the Potter books and I don't condemn them. I haven't read the latest two because I found them boring.

Another mistake you made is not breaking your rant into more paragraphs. Frankly, it was too pedantic to interest me in trudging all the way through each paragraph. Break it up and you'll hold the reader's interest longer.

There is a reason you're taught grammer (or should be taught) grammer. It is to enable you to communicate more effectively. Study those rules. Follow them.

"There is a reason you're taught spelling (or should be taught) spelling".

If you're going to post this type of criticism, you should at least draft a perfect post!!! ;-o

Really? I haven't read any of them so I don't know if their boring or not.

Correct spelling is nice, too.

Remember, this kid is only 13. And if the kid needs grammar lessons, you need spellling lessons "grammer?" Why use the word "pedantic" when addressing a child? Trying to prove something? Take an aspirin and a nap, you'll be okay. ...end of rant....
