Topic: RE: OT: Horrid grammar and spelling
You know what makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck?? It just kills me when people don't use capital letters, OR punctuation. It's like one long, run-on sentence that you couldn't follow on a bet!!! Auuuggghh!!! I try to at least proof my posts, and I'm sure something erroneous gets through sometimes, but I really try to keep that to a minimum...
There are many times I simply can't read a post someone has written because it's so poorly written,-- and the lack of punctuation, capitalization, and appropriate grammar is enough to make you want to offer free tutoring to the writer!!!!!
Anyway, I'll do my part by proof reading my posts, and hope not to drive anyone nuts with my occasionally imperfect grammar.
Take care all,
Jessica

No, you're not guilty AT ALL of the shocking crap I'm talking about (er...about which I'm talking, lol).

Barb,
I have an agenda! My agenda is to learn all about this surgery that I can. In the process I'd like to make a few friends, engage in some intresting conversation and have a few laughs. To that end I have no problem with a non atheist reading or posting on this or any other forum. I may actually learn something from them!
I wish there was more posting as a matter of fact on this forum. To chase away people by telling them that they don't belong here is well forgive me for saying this, but it's mean.
Imagin the stories now, how mean the atheist board is.....
I may be an Atheist but I'm a nice gal underneath?
D - AKA The worst speller in the world - I misspelled L-O-V-E in the sixth grade spelling bee. I spelled it L-U-V.

Dear Barb~
Simply posted because I had a comment on the topic, just as I would on other message boards of differents interests. Why are you so suspiscious?
BTW, I didn't see anything in my profile that indicated an agenda. Yes, I am a Christian, but that had no bearing on the topic at all.
I go to several message boards of many different interests. I don't think they are restricted, unless otherwise indicated in the guidelines. I guess I just don't have any fears of going to unchartered territory for someone like myself.
I was or am not trying to offend anyone at all. But apparently just my presence causes you apprehension or fear. I'll go away.
Thank you,
Sally C
P.S. did I answer your question?

Sally,
It doesn't matter if you're nice and kind, as I'm sure you are. I'm nice and kind also. I'm also direct and want to know why you're here. We have nothing for you. We're Athiests. We want to discuss issues here without any religious slant. Your profile suggests you have an agenda. Else, why would you even come this way? This was supposed to be our place. You are more than welcome to lurk but again I ask, why are you here?

What does that have to do with anythng? I mentioned nothing of my faith or my beliefs on my posts. I have been nothing but kind and have never spoken to you in a rude or distasteful manner. So what's up?

Sally,
I went to your profile and can't find any reason why you would be posting on this board. We come here to get away from the believers.

To err is human......
May want to re-read your posting.
According to webster, "Haver" means to walk foolishly, it doesn't really apply to your sentence. Unless, you meant to say "have ever seen?"
Let us laugh at ourselves and take the errors of others a little less seriously. I do appreciate a well constructed sentence, (my mother was an English major). But I feel the message board has a casual atmosphere, where strict grammer or the "grading" of one's writing skills aren't all that important.
I would hope all feel comfortable expressing their thoughts regarding WLS and their interests, without the concern of being embarrassed, or judged as an idiot.
Humbly~

P.S. Please forgive me if I have mispelled anything or spoken incorrectly? And thank you kindly.
