I'm tired after a 15 hour day of (b)Nutcracker...so I'm not going to read through the 3 pages of this thread.
1) The title of this thread is incredibly funny.
2) This has always been a place where proffesional meets educational. And as such it needs to be educational. I make a few typos (I know derek has a running list of mine somewhere so that the day we finally meet he can
throw it in my
face) that being said:
LEARN TO SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK. As best as you can at a glance. I'm not asking you to use a fine tooth comb to proof read, but know this: some of the crap sentences that get posted on forums like this one would be ignored by proffesionals if recieved in an email.
Its a matter of practice. Its one of those first steps to being a proffesional. Type like a proffesional and you're one step closer to being one.
This is a great place to practice that. God knows I do. God knows that someone will grammar check this post to
throw back at me. That's ok.
When I worked at a university I not only corrected my students, but proffesors as well. How can you expect anyone to treat you seriously as an educator if you can't capitalize a sentence in your email?
Save L33t for text messages to your BFF's. Beyond that NEVER USE IT AGAIN.
