We don’t comment on grammar to personally attack people. Generally people post stuff from news sources, and it’s fun to criticize paid professionals who can’t write.
When people post their own things, especially from blogs, they generally post to bloggers and personal.
It’s simple good-natured fun, although people are pretty picky around here. I tried to be nice myself, I ignored another few errors.
For the record, my wife reviews my columns before I send them to the paper, and the paper also does a review, but occasionally a minor gramatical error gets through anyway.
Maybe covering Oprah is a mistake. But there’s no reason that you need to make mistakes while covering her. :-)
I appreciate that. I know it is a problem for me. I have tried to attended SA (Spell Anonymous) and GA (Grammar Anonymous) but I keep relapsing. I get on my high horse, write and article, and then see all of my mistakes. It is embarrassing. I may get a little defensive when it is pointed out. What do we say in the south, “a hit dog barks the loudestâ€. I was a radio talk show host in the 80s and grammar wasn’t s problem. I need to so better. Thanks for your comment. I will do my best to not just write as I think and post without the approval of my wife.
