I learned to read before I even entered school. I loved it from the very beginning and read voraciously from the start. While in Elementary School, the teachers would quickly learn to exclude ONE particular student (*cough* me *cough*) so as to give "someone else a chance to win". Good writing and writers have always been a pleasure to read, and to see so many people in this day and age simply care so little about how they portray themselves when writing (or typing, as the case may be) is truly saddening. I would expect something such as that from someone still attempting to learn the proper useage of the English language, but the apparent uncaring attitude of 'whatever, dude' that comes across each time is simply beyond belief.
Thanks for your post 150.
It really is sad that so many Freepers have but the slightest grasp on the English language (including that ignoramus who snarled at me).
I think that one owes it to his readers to write correct English; to do otherwise is insulting. Additionally, to post material on this website in sub-standard English hurts FR’s reputation.
