speaking and writing...

properly

 is one of my pet peeves

meaning I don't like it when it isn't  done correctly.

I am not the world's most articulate person

but I damn well try my best

especially when writing

Ms Emma Thompson thinks so too

that people should speak properly

not that

I.......

here let me let her tell you!!!!

She said: "We have to reinvest, I think, in the idea of articulacy as a form of personal human freedom and power."

Ms Thompson added that on a visit to her old school she told pupils not to use slang words such as "likes" and "innit".

"I told them, 'Just don't do it. Because it makes you sound stupid and you're not stupid."

If you want to read the rest it is

here

 My biggest peeve is people who don't read what they just wrote

 and don't correct the mistakes.

A whole blog post

f'rinstance!!

filled with mistypes

or words that make no sense

obvious spelling mistakes

just make me cringe and my teeth hurt.

I am not talking about those whose language isn't English

I mean English/American/Australian

speakers.

It really detracts from what they are saying

when you sit there and all you see are the mistakes

Sorry,

but it's true

there are spell checkers

and

 just reading over what they wrote might help too.

The excuse usually given is

I type too fast....

or my brain is ahead of my fingers.

so, slow down

it isn't a race to the end

and you don't win if what you took so long to write is a mess!!

(We aren't talking about MY bad habit of not using proper punctuation here on the blog. 

I am fully aware of it and I do it anyway

that's how this blog rolls.)

On a brighter note
(edited......the note is not bright at all.............nothing is working properly and I don't know why so
I have to try again to get the new pages to work so let's just pretend this was never ever mentioned
OK?    OK!!))))))

******

the page is hopefully working now

for the tuts

I got an email from across the pond saying they weren't working

so I went back and fixed the problem

I HOPE

there are still hiccups and glitches and burps with

 logger

.......

apparently

is overloaded

and

it keeps kicking people off

and

the comments don't work all the time

and lots of other

boring, annoying

computer things

that just drive me crazeeeeeeeeee

so hopefully it will all be fixed soon and I won't have to mention it again!!!

OH and remember........

:)

( If all these graphics gave you a big headache.... I apologise

you're not the only one!!!)
