this article made me laugh. there is rarely a day where you do not have some sort of grammatical mistake etc. there's even one here......"and possibly impress someone else that could offer you a job. " 'that' should be 'who', as it is a person not a thing...
I know Steve prides himself on constant improvement. I have seen some minor typos, but nothing that prevented me from understanding his point. If even 10% of the population put in as much effort at self improvement as he does, the world would be a far better place.
What I can't stand is those individuals who make no attempt to write properly, or who obviously have no ability to communicate, but they get offended when someone questions the meaning of their writing.
Agreed. I don't want to ridicule peoples' writing nor do I want mine ridiculed, however, there are those who could make a bit of effort and gain so much more from it e.g. I have noticed that I am more positive with regards to a request for help posted on a forum where the writer has made a bit of effort to ensure that the reader can understand what they are asking.
PS Steve, in my opinion, your writing has improved since you started this website. Not that it was bad in the first place. I think that we all gain from the effort you have put in. Cheers!!!
